Skio Subscription Setup for Shopify

Setting up Skio on Shopify, or moving your subscribers over from Recharge or another app? We set up Skio selling plans, the product page widget, Build-a-Box bundles, cancel flows and the subscriber portal in your theme, and we move and check each active subscription before the old widgets are removed.

Seal

Valentine Coffee subscriptions moved between apps

For Valentine Coffee Co., Shero moved its subscriptions from Bold to Seal Subscriptions by importing them through Bold's API, re-creating the subscription rules and restyling the widget and account page.

Saved cards

Subscribers kept their cards for Dillanos

For Dillanos Coffee Roasters, Shero set up Recharge on Shopify and coordinated with Shopify to move stored cards from Cybersource to Shopify Payments, so subscribers did not have to re-enter their cards.

SMS

Subscribers manage orders by text message

Skio lets subscribers skip, swap or reschedule an order by replying to a text message. We set up those SMS commands and the customer portal so subscribers can change orders without logging in or emailing support.

Failed payments retried and recovered

When a subscription payment fails, Skio retries the card and messages the customer to update it. We set the retry timing and messages, then check recovery each month in Skio's reports, as covered in our subscription program guide.

Since partnering with Shero Commerce, our eCommerce revenue has grown by 200%. Their support and solutions have been game changers for our business.

What Skio does and what setup covers

Skio is made for brands that want a modern subscriber experience on Shopify. The passwordless portal cuts login friction, and pricing is a monthly plan fee plus a fee on each subscription order. Skio's migration tool moves active subscribers and payment methods from Recharge and other platforms.

How you pay Hourly

01

Migration from Recharge with no subscriber disruption

Skio's migration tool transfers active subscribers, payment methods, intervals, and billing history from Recharge and other platforms. Subscribers do not need to re-enter payment details or re-subscribe. Shero manages the migration timeline and verifies every subscriber transferred correctly before the previous platform is turned off.

02

Passwordless subscriber portal that removes login friction

Skio's portal lets subscribers log in with a one-time code sent by text or email, with no password to remember. Quick action links in Skio emails and texts let them skip, swap, or upgrade without logging in at all. Subscribers can skip, pause, swap products, and update payment details in one place. Lower login friction usually means more portal use and fewer cancellations from a portal that is too hard to use.

03

Checkout Extensibility configured correctly for Shopify Plus

Skio works natively with Shopify Checkout and is fully Checkout Extensibility compliant. For Shopify Plus stores, the subscription widget integrates directly into the checkout flow without legacy injection methods. Shero configures and tests the Checkout Extensibility integration before go-live.

04

Cancellation flows set up to save subscribers before they leave

Skio supports reason-based cancellation flows where the save offer adapts to why a subscriber is cancelling: a discount for price sensitivity, a skip for frequency concerns, a swap for product dissatisfaction. Shero sets up the flow logic per exit reason as part of the setup. For brands moving from Recharge, this is part of the subscription migration Shero handles.

05

Klaviyo connected for subscriber lifecycle flows

Skio passes subscription events to Klaviyo: subscription created, charge upcoming, charge failed, subscription paused, and cancellation. Shero connects these as Klaviyo flow triggers so lifecycle emails and win-back sequences fire from real subscription events.

06

Clean data layer for subscription analytics teams

Analytics teams can use Skio's subscription data to model subscriber cohorts and track LTV by acquisition channel. Shero connects Skio data into the broader Shopify analytics setup.

Specialty Coffee

Valentine Coffee Co.

With an existing Shopify build that no longer reflected its premium positioning, the Milwaukee specialty coffee roaster, serving both D2C customers and a growing B2B wholesale base, partnered with Shero to deliver a full design and functionality refresh in 8 to 10 weeks ahead of the holiday season. The project included a refined dark-mode aesthetic, native RoasterTools integration, and a B2B wholesale flow integrated into the storefront.

Baby Sleep Courses

Set up right the first time

App problems usually come from a rushed install: missing data, theme conflicts and scripts that slow the store. We set it up, connect the data and check the speed.

Data connected
Customer, order and product data synced both ways with Shopify.
Theme ready
Widgets and blocks placed in your theme without breaking the layout.
Speed checked
Scripts reviewed so the app does not drag down Core Web Vitals.
Hand off
Your team trained on the settings that matter.

What is Skio's pricing?

03

How does Skio's passwordless login work?

Skio subscribers log in to their portal with a one-time code sent by text or email, so they do not need a separate password. Quick action links in Skio emails and texts also let them skip, swap, or upgrade without logging in. In the portal they can skip, pause, swap products, update payment details, and manage their subscription. Lower login friction cuts the cancellations that happen because the portal is too hard to reach.

04

Can Shero migrate from Recharge to Skio?

Shero can migrate Recharge subscribers to Skio using Skio's migration tool, which transfers active subscribers, payment methods, subscription intervals, and billing history without requiring subscribers to re-enter payment details. Shero manages the migration timeline and confirms all subscribers transferred before the previous platform is decommissioned.

Invisible Bead Extensions®

"Working with Shero Commerce on our migration from WordPress to Shopify was honestly such a pleasant experience. We’d been on WordPress for five years with tons of content and very specific styling, and moving all of it into one cohesive Shopify site was no small feat, this was a genuinely complex, highly technical migration. But they pulled it off on deadline with zero errors and zero issues. Their team showed up with everything we needed: a project manager, multiple developers, marketing leads, email specialists, and CRO experts, all coordinated through dedicated meetings and a real task management system. They also designed several high impact conversion pages so our digital presence didn’t just function better, it looked beautiful too. Since migrating, we’ve seen an increase in revenue thanks to having one simplified, cohesive platform. I’m so grateful for how seamlessly they executed this, and I’d recommend Shero Commerce to anyone facing a migration like ours."

Painful Pleasures

"Our journey from Magento to Shopify was riddled with complexities and challenges. With a vast catalog and intricate B2B logic, we needed expertise that could navigate through these intricacies. Shero Commerce was our beacon. They not only provided innovative solutions but also utilized their vast Magento knowledge to bridge gaps in Shopify’s native features. Now, our platform is seamless, our costs are reduced, and the headaches are a thing of the past. A heartfelt thank you to the Shero team!"

Alto Music

"As a long-time client, we at Alto Music have always appreciated their technical expertise, but their recent migration of our site from Magento 2 to Shopify was exceptional. Shero preserved the essence of our beloved loyalty and rewards program, seamlessly integrating it into Shopify’s more efficient framework. The transition not only retained our unique features but also significantly simplified site management and reduced costs. We’re thrilled with the results and highly recommend Shero for any e-commerce needs."
