What Is Subscription Billing?


Subscription billing charges customers automatically on a schedule, such as monthly or yearly. It covers plans and prices, trials, upgrades and downgrades with proration, coupons, invoices and tax, retries for failed cards (dunning), and syncing each customer's subscription status with what they can access in your app.


Signs You Need This


  • You invoice customers by hand

  • Users keep access after cancelling or failed payments

  • Upgrades and downgrades are handled manually

  • You want trials, coupons or annual plans

  • Revenue is lost to expired cards



Why Subscription Billing Breaks


Status not synced

The app doesn't listen to subscription webhooks.


Plans in code

Prices hard-coded instead of managed in billing.


No dunning

Failed payments aren't retried or communicated.


Usage not tracked

Limits per plan aren't enforced.



Quick Checks You Can Try First


  1. Compare active subscriptions in billing with active users.

  2. Check what happens when a payment fails.

  3. Try an upgrade and a downgrade.

  4. List the limits each plan should enforce.


If the problem remains, our engineers take it from there.



How We Set It Up


  1. Plan design. Plans, prices, trials and limits.

  2. Provider setup. Products, prices, tax and portal.

  3. Checkout. Sign-up and upgrade flows.

  4. Sync. Webhooks that update access instantly.

  5. Dunning. Retries and emails for failed payments.

  6. Test. Trials, upgrades, cancellations and failures.



What You Get


  • Plans and prices in your billing provider

  • Checkout and a customer billing portal

  • Webhooks that sync access

  • Failed payment handling

  • Test results for every billing event


Example result (illustrative)

A SaaS tool billed 40 customers by bank invoice and often forgot to remove access when they stopped paying. We moved them to Stripe Billing with a customer portal, synced plan limits through webhooks and enabled smart retries. Invoicing time dropped to zero and failed-payment revenue recovery improved within the first month.
