The ability to customize the "Purchase options order" for the subscription widget is now generally available! 

Select whether you want the Subscription option or the One-time purchase option to be listed first on the product page. 

How do I make the change? In the top navigation bar click the wrench icon and then click the "Subscription Widget" link. On the Subscription widget settings page navigate to the "Purchase options order" select the order to be "One-time + Subscription" or "Subscription + One-time".

Can I preview this before I save? Yes! The "Subscription widget preview" on the right side of the page does reflect the option selected in this setting, so the changes can be previewed in real-time before anything is published!

How does it work? API 

When retrieving lists of data with the ReCharge API, users can now include a sort_by parameter in the URL of the GET request to specify the order of results. Sort_by values indicate the parameter to sort on, and the direction of sorting (such as updated_at-desc). 

Example:

GET https://api.rechargeapps.com/orders?sort_by=shipping_date-desc

Where can I learn more?

Available sort_by values vary between endpoints. For a complete list of available sort_by values for each resource, and to learn more about sorting API results, see the "Retrieving Data" section of our API documentation.
