Loop handles the recurring billing, cancellation flows, and retention analytics that Shopify DTC brands outgrow on first-generation subscription apps. The platform targets mid-market merchants running subscribe-and-save or replenishment programs, letting retention teams build passive churn recovery sequences, custom cancel flows, and segmented win-back campaigns. Analytics surface LTV and churn drivers at the cohort level. Dedicated success managers support migration from ReCharge, Bold, or Skio and ongoing program optimization.
> pick this if
Pick this if you're a Shopify subscription brand doing $2M–$50M in subscription GMV who has outgrown ReCharge/Bold/Skio and needs configurable cancel flows, cohort LTV analytics, and a hands-on CSM rather than a self-serve app.
> look elsewhere if
Look elsewhere if you're on BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, or a custom stack, running sub-$1M in subscription revenue where ReCharge's base tier suffices, or needing headless/B2B recurring billing that sits outside Shopify's checkout.

> how you'd use it
- DTC consumables brand (coffee, supplements, pet food) doing $5M–$30M GMV on Shopify with a 2–4 person retention teamMigrating off ReCharge after hitting ceilings on cancel-flow logic and passive churn recovery; Loop's success manager runs the cutover and configures reason-coded save offers→ Typically recovers 15–25% of would-be cancels via dynamic swap/pause/discount branches and lifts 6-month retention on flagship SKUs
- Mid-market beauty or wellness brand ($10M–$50M GMV) with a growth lead owning LTV targetsUses cohort analytics to isolate churn drivers by acquisition source and build segmented win-back flows for lapsed subscribers→ Cuts involuntary churn through smarter dunning and identifies which acquisition cohorts justify higher CAC based on true 12-month LTV
- Replenishment brand ($2M–$8M GMV, founder-led, 1–2 marketers) on Skio or BoldSwitches to Loop for bundle logic and build-a-box cadence flexibility the incumbent app can't support→ Ships new subscription product formats (trial-to-subscribe, quarterly bundles) without custom dev, with the CSM handling setup
