Recharge

Recharge (Recharge Payments) is a subscription and recurring-billing platform for e-commerce, most widely used on Shopify. Its public REST API at https://api.rechargeapps.com lets developers manage the full subscription lifecycle - subscriptions, customers, addresses, charges, orders, products, payment methods, onetimes, discounts, and webhooks - programmatically. Requests are authenticated with a store API token in the X-Recharge-Access-Token header and versioned via the X-Recharge-Version header (supported versions 2021-11 and 2021-01). The API is resource-oriented JSON over HTTPS with cursor-based pagination and a leaky-bucket rate limiter.

Recharge publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Addresses API, Charges API, Customers API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Subscriptions, Recurring Billing, E-commerce, Payments, and Shopify.

Recharge’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.
