Why Recurpay doesn't work in India
Recurpay renews subscriptions through Shopify's subscription gateways: Shopify Payments, PayPal Express, Authorize.net, Adyen and Stripe. Shopify Payments isn't available in India, Stripe is invite-only for Indian businesses, and PayPal India can't take domestic payments. A brand selling in India can't run Recurpay subscriptions.

STACKBACK RENEWALS
AutoPay on UPI and cards
How StackBack works in India
AutoPay on UPI and cards. The customer buys on StackBack's subscription checkout through your Razorpay account, paying for the first delivery and setting up AutoPay in one step. Every renewal after that is charged automatically, with a notice before each charge.
Prepaid and pay-as-you-go, on any checkout. These plans go into the cart like any product and check out on your Shopify checkout or a quick checkout like GoKwik, Shopflo, Shiprocket Checkout, Razorpay Magic Checkout or FlexyPe. Arusha Foods, Lightyears Health and Honest Pet Co sell StackBack subscriptions through GoKwik, and Zama Organics through Shopflo.
Shopify-native. Every order and renewal lands in Shopify as a normal order, so inventory, shipping and reports keep working.
