Gipht Recharge Integration Set Up

Gipht has the ability for shoppers to purchase Recharge prepaid subscriptions without knowing the recipients address. When a cusomer uses this option, the pre-paid subscription will be paied in full once the recipient accepts the gift via the Gipht app, and a recurring order will be generated for the merchant to fulfill based on the subscription’s settings.

What you’ll need:

Gipht should be installed on the Shopify shop. For information on installing and configuring Gipht, please see How to Set Up Gipht
One or more products that are configured with a Recharge prepaid subscription selling plan. For more information on how to set that up, please see Configuring a prepaid subscription

Steps to Configure Gipht with Recharge

Ensure the Deferred Payment setting is enabled within the Gipht settings. This ensures the customer is not charged until the recipient accepts their gift.
Next, a Recharge API Token must be generated within the recharge portal.
1. Log into the Recharge dashboard as the Store Owner. The Store Owner is the only user with permissions to generate an API token.
2. Navigate to Apps → API Tokens.
3. Click the “Create and API token” button.
4. Give the token a name, such as “Gipht”, and any email address associated with the shop.
5. Set “Read and Write” access for the following:
  1. Subscriptions
  2. Customers
  3. Products
6. Check the “I have read and agree with Recharge's API Terms of Service.” box and save.
Copy the new API Token and paste it in the Gipht settings under “Recharge Subscriptions (API Access Token)”

And that’s it! Now a customer can purchase a Recharge pre-paid subscription using Gipht, no address required!

What happens when a customer sends a Recharge Gift Subscription via Gipht?

The customer is not charged until the gift has been accepted by the recipient via Gipht. Once the gift is accepted, a prepaid Recharge subscription is created and will generate the subscription orders in Shopify like normal. The Recharge subscription does not get generated until the gift is accepted by the recipient.
