Shopify Subscription System for Indian Stores via Razorpay

n8n · Razorpay API · Shopify API  —  Recurring orders for Indian D2C brands

The Problem

No native subscription support for Indian Shopify stores

Shopify doesn't support subscriptions for Indian stores natively. Third-party subscription apps like ReCharge are built only for international payment gateways. Razorpay — India's leading payment gateway — has no direct subscription integration with Shopify out of the box. Indian D2C brands are stuck.

The Client

A dog food brand wanting weekly & monthly deliveries

petfreshkitchen.com — a premium dog food brand wanting customers to subscribe for regular weekly or monthly deliveries. No existing tool could handle this for an Indian Shopify store.

What I Built

A custom subscription flow using Razorpay + n8n + Shopify

Wired Razorpay's subscription APIs directly into Shopify via an n8n automation pipeline — creating a fully functional recurring billing system where none existed before.

How It Works

4 steps, end-to-end automated

  • 1
    Customer selects a subscription plan on the storefront — weekly or monthly.
  • 2
    A Razorpay subscription is created via API — handles all recurring billing automatically.
  • 3
    On successful payment, n8n triggers a Shopify order automatically — no manual entry.
  • 4
    Customer receives their order on the chosen weekly or monthly schedule, every cycle.
Current State

Live and working — with one known limitation

The core flow is live and working. Due to Shopify's Basic plan API restrictions, some order management steps still require manual intervention from the client's end — checking subscription orders in the panel before processing. Full end-to-end automation is the next milestone.

First of its kind

Real-World Impact

Solved a gap no off-the-shelf app covers

Deployed for petfreshkitchen.com — solving a gap that no existing Shopify app currently covers for the Indian market. Indian D2C brands no longer have to abandon subscriptions just because they use Razorpay.
