Auto-add free product rewards to Recharge renewals

If you use Recharge and offer free product rewards in Rivo, you can automatically add the redeemed product to a customer’s next subscription charge. This removes extra steps for your customers and helps improve redemption completion.
​

This setting works when a customer redeems a free product reward in your loyalty program.



​
​

Before You Start

Make sure all of the following are true:

  • Your Recharge integration is connected in Rivo.

  • You have at least one active free product reward.

  • Your customer has an upcoming queued subscription charge in Recharge.

For full Recharge setup steps, see Recharge integration.



​
​

Turn On Auto-Add for Free Product Rewards

  1. In Rivo, go to Integrations.

  2. Open Recharge.

  3. Enable Auto-add free product rewards to next subscription charge.

  4. Click Save.



​
​

How It Works

When a customer redeems a free product reward:

  • Rivo checks for that customer’s next queued Recharge subscription charge.

  • If one is found, Rivo adds the reward item as a free gift to that charge.

  • If the same reward item is already on the charge as a free gift, Rivo does not add it again.



​
​

Important Notes

  • This setting only applies to free product rewards.

  • It adds the reward to the next queued subscription charge, not all future charges.

  • In-store (POS) redemptions do not trigger this automatic add behavior.

  • If your free product reward includes multiple product variants, the first configured variant is used for the auto-add action.



​
​

Troubleshooting

If a free product was not auto-added to a subscription renewal, check the following:

  • The Recharge integration is connected.

  • Auto-add free product rewards to next subscription charge is enabled.

  • The redeemed reward is a free product reward (not a discount or free shipping reward).

  • The customer has an upcoming queued subscription charge in Recharge.

  • The reward item is not already present on that charge as a free gift.

If all settings look correct and the reward still does not appear, try a new redemption and verify the customer’s next upcoming subscription charge.
