Recharge Acquires Skio, Consolidating Shopify Subscription Commerce

Recharge, which processes recurring revenue for over 50,000 Shopify merchants, has acquired Skio, a subscription management platform serving thousands of direct-to-consumer brands. The combined entity will merge Skio's customer portal—enabling subscribers to modify schedules and skip shipments—with Recharge's backend billing infrastructure and ML-powered payment retry system. The move reflects broader consolidation as merchants demand more sophisticated retention and analytics tools.
