Govalo is a digital gifting app that allows Shopify merchants to offer digital gift options for subscriptions. Using the app, merchants can design a gift card experience that delivers personalization for customers, offer giftable products, and easily manage a clear store credit program.

How does it work?

1. The customer chooses the gift cycle they’d like to purchase and fills out their recipient’s details.
2. The recipient receives an email in their inbox prompting them to redeem their gift subscription using a code.
3. The recipient sets up their subscription account, using their own details. 
4. The merchant then fulfills the subscription order using the recipient’s account details.
5. When the gifted period is finished, the recipient can add their payment details to carry it forward.

All Shopify merchants can now opt-in to an additional security feature that requires customers to log in to their Shopify customer account before gaining access to their Recharge customer portal. 

Previously this setting was only available based on request and was called `Force customer portal accounts (Shopify - Recharge Checkout only)`. We have renamed it to improve clarity and to account for all Shopify merchants.

Next time you visit your customer portal settings, if your customer portal location is set to `Embedded in platform storefront` you will have the option to enable the `Force Shopify customer account logins` setting under your customer portal control settings. 

How does it work?

• This setting is disabled by default.

• When this feature is enabled, we will continue to generate the customer portal URL with the security token as we do today. However, to access the customer portal, the customer will be required to log in to their Shopify account.

  • If the customer is already logged into their Shopify account, they will be redirected to the customer portal.
  • If the customer is not logged in, they will be required to log in before being able to access the customer portal.
  • If the customer does not have a Shopify account, they will be required to create one and log in before being able to access the customer portal. 
• Theme Engine out of the box support will be available in a future release. In the meantime, Theme Engine users can contact Recharge Support to get the files they need to use this feature. 
  
• Note: It is important to ensure your Shopify account settings are set to optional or required.

All merchants using Recharge with Shopify Checkout Integration (SCI) now have the ability to capture/manage cart attributes (also referred to as ‘order attributes’). 

Cart attributes are custom form fields that merchants can use to request a variety of information from customers during checkout. With Recharge, merchants can now: 

• View, add, or edit cart attributes in the Recharge merchant portal 
• let Recharge ensure that the updated cart attributes make their way into the subscription contract in Shopify and therefore, the future recurring orders. 

Note: To fully utilize this feature with Recharge, merchants must enable cart attributes in their Shopify storefront theme as well.
