Overview
Shopify subscription APIs (Application Programming Interface) currently has set a few criteria for its merchants who want to offer membership plans to their customers. Appstle Memberships app, similar to other memberships apps on Shopify, is bound by these criteria.
While you will find the detailed list of Shopify limitations and conditions in this link, we have outlined a few key criteria below.
Payment Processors - One of the most important limitations set by Shopify is that it currently requires all merchants looking to install a memberships app to use one of the payment gateways listed below.
Shopify Payments
PayPal Express
Authorize.net
ShopPay (for express/dynamic checkouts)
Apple Pay
Stripe
However, Shopify is enhancing their payment gateway support, and has planned to include other payment gateways, by the end of this quarter. You can find more details on Shopify's payment gateway support roadmap here:

Others
There are a few other Shopify limitations that restrict stores from availing a few Memberships features. You can review these in detail from Shopify's Developers Article:
Note: All of these limitations and the eligibility criteria are directly set by Shopify. We at Appstle do not have any control over that. The above-mentioned link for Shopify's article details their feature roadmaps.
