Recharge Sunsets Novum & Prima: Migrate to Affinity Before 2026
Recharge will discontinue support for the Novum, Prima, and Theme Engine customer portal themes after December 31, 2025. If your store still runs one of these themes after that date, your customer portal could stop working, risking churn or a broken subscription experience.
The solution? Upgrade to Affinity, Recharge’s modern, mobile-responsive portal theme, fully integrated into Shopify’s Theme Editor and packed with enhanced subscription management tools.
Why Affinity Is Essential
- No-code setup within Shopify’s Theme Editor.
- Fully mobile-friendly design for a smoother customer experience.
- Advanced subscription features—including options to skip deliveries, change frequency, or manage payment methods.
