Performance Improvements to 'Novum' theme!

All merchants using 'Novum' theme with their Recharge customer portal will now experience faster response times on page load and search. 'Novum' offers merchants to launch a mobile-optimized customer portal experience quickly and can be easily customized using the Recharge theme engine tool. 

Additionally, these updates will also deliver a more user-friendly pagination experience to all merchants.  Merchants with a large product portfolio on Recharge will see the most significant performance improvements. 

These improvements will also benefit merchants creating a new design on the Recharge Theme Engine using the 'Novum' theme as the template. To enable these improvements to existing custom designs, please review the reference docs here. 

Access to 'Novum' theme on our Recharge Theme Engine requires the Recharge Pro or Enterprise plan. 

To learn more about 'Novum' theme, visit support documentation here.

Improved integration with Klaviyo with new metrics and properties

All merchants using Recharge now have access to our Version 2 (V2) integration with Klaviyo through the 'Integrations' tab of your Recharge application.

  • Subscription started on Recharge
  • Order upcoming on Recharge
  • Order upcoming (prepaid) on Recharge

Recharge has a brand new look!

To reflect our growth as a company, we have rebranded, and are thrilled to share the outcome with you. With a new visual identity, expanded content, and redesigned website, we’re excited to chart the next phase of growth for Recharge and our merchants.

These new brand standards will reflect in our application in the form of the redesigned logo and a significant style upgrade including the color scheme and text styling. The changes will reflect for all merchants using Recharge with their store. 

Importantly, no functionality or UI/UX elements within the application have been altered. We are still the same Recharge—just refreshed and reenergized to better serve our merchants in this new period of growth.

To all our merchants and partners (that’s you!), we thank you for your continued support. We wouldn’t be who we are today without you.
