Recurring Products

This article explains how to configure your BigCommerce cart to redirect to a Checkout Champ checkout when you have an option at checkout to purchase a recurring product.

Only follow this article if your checkout and upsell flow is finished inside of Checkout Champ and you are ready to start sending the BigCommerce customers to your Checkout Champ checkout page

This article assumes the recurring products are setup in BigCommerce using product customizations. Please contact your Account Manager if your store uses a different method.

A product SKU is required on each product in BigCommerce to redirect checkout. Products with variations must have a SKU on each variation. Products without variations must have a SKU on the product.

It is required to have separate CheckoutChamp campaign products for the One-Time option and for the Recurring option.

To redirect the BigCommerce cart to the Checkout Champ checkout page, it is required to manually set the routing on your BigCommerce cart page.
