What are some traits of an
ideal Subscription Billing Platform?
Simplicity and Complexity
Best of Both Worlds
From providing the customers a simple and seamless payment experience to handling complex tax calculations, prorations, varying billing cycles, and more, an ideal subscription billing platform should walk the fine line of balancing both complexity and simplicity.
Flexibility
Should cater to David and Goliath
A subscription billing platform is an integral part of your revenue workflow. As you grow, changes in processes and tools are inevitable. So, the ideal recurring billing software should be flexible and robust enough to support your needs today, tomorrow, and until the end of time.
Security & Compliance
The Silent Guardian you need & deserve...
New compliances like PSD2 / SCA pop up every other year. The best recurring billing solution easily adapts to this ever-changing land of compliances. Being SOC-1, SOC-2, and PCI compliant is the least any recurring billing software must possess to ensure your data security.

Custom Billing Logic
Bill yearly, monthly or for any period — even days. Charge your customers based on usage, if your pricing strategy asks for it. Choose to renew billing cycles based on the date customers signed up on, or bill all customers on a specific date.
Robust Accounting and Invoicing System
Level up your invoicing with advance invoicing capabilities such as consolidated invoicing, advance invoicing, credit notes to manage refunds, and an inbuilt global tax management module.
As for accounting, a subscription billing platform should be capable of integrating with popular accounting software and keep your records in sync between multiple systems. This helps your finance team to generate reports more accurately and quickly without losing any precious data to manual errors
Subscription Management Platform
Manage trials, assign credits, issue refunds, make mid-subscription changes, and allow unscheduled billing. Get a unified view of all subscriptions and customer data in one place and bring more context in engaging with them. Roll out new subscription plans rapidly with flexible billing frequencies.
Diversify and maximize payment collection
Processing your payments through just one payment gateway is literally setting yourself up for failure. You are potentially losing revenue from soft errors, customers who prefer different payment methods, and more. Don't let your customers think twice at checkout. Give them every option possible from Credit Cards, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Direct Debit to Offline Payments like cheques. On average, a customer should have at least 4 different payment options.
