Subscriptions
Subscription billing in Vendasta's Commerce platform provides automated recurring billing for your customers, replacing manual invoice creation with streamlined, automatic billing that generates customer invoices seamlessly from orders.
What is Subscription Billing?
Subscription billing is a recurring billing model where customers are billed regularly (weekly, monthly, or yearly) to continue accessing products and services. Every activated product or service creates equivalent subscriptions for both partner-to-Vendasta transactions (wholesale subscriptions) and partner-to-client transactions (retail subscriptions).
Key Benefits
- Streamlined Billing & Automated Invoicing: Automated recurring billing generates customer invoices seamlessly from orders
- Customizable Sale Prices: Override default store prices and sell at negotiated customer-level prices
- Personalized Invoice Scheduling: Customize payment terms, due dates, payment methods, and memo notes
- Enhanced Financial Transparency: Comprehensive view of costs and retail revenue per client account
- Complete Control: Full control over client subscriptions - view, update, or cancel subscriptions effortlessly
- Preview Next Invoice: See upcoming client invoices before they're sent
Subscription billing replaces the old "bill by active" model. All customer accounts set to "bill by active" are transitioning to subscription billing.
Who Can Use Subscription Billing?
All partners on the Vendasta platform can use retail subscriptions to manage their customer billing whether or not they have merchant services enabled. You can easily track recurring revenue on every account you sell to.
