Guide: What is recurring billing?

No more revenue leaks or unpredictable cash flow

When your recurring payments fail in relation to payment gateways or for another reason, you are often forced to find money elsewhere to stay afloat. Automation drastically reduces the number of missing or late payments, allowing a much more consistent and predictable cash flow.

Should payments still fail - Upodi can take care of it through the means of dunning. Automated charge claims, reclaims, and dunning is a professional approach to your customers and your billing process.

Unpaid invoices, taxation errors, and accidental underbilling can lead to revenue leaks. Upodi will manage most of your revenue collection and accommodate any changes to customer data or payments. This also ensures your company is getting all the revenue it’s supposed to.

Automated invoicing also contributes to guaranteed revenue. You decide when and how much your subscribers should pay, and Upodi takes care of the invoicing. We also provide automated invoice matching and can include invoices of classic bank wire transfers.

Handle any changes mid-cycle

Recurring payments are very convenient for customers. When they are automatically charged on a set schedule, they can make payments without lifting a finger. 

However, customers’ needs change regularly, and they suddenly want to pause, upgrade or downgrade their subscription, all in the middle of your billing cycle. 

Your customers should be able to do so without jumping through hoops. Upodi provides you with automated proration. You no longer need to worry when your customers want to change their subscriptions mid-cycle.

Your customers will love you

Upodi offers close to 50 payment methods, enabling you to provide your customers with whatever payment options are necessary. Whether your customers are B2B or B2C, they will always have different payment preferences.

Automated proration and dunning efforts also help reduce the churn rate. There will be cases when a customer’s credit card expires or gets blocked, which disrupts a subscription and can mean a lost customer if not dealt with properly.

Upodi automatically monitors the health of payment methods. This will enable you to act proactively with your customers so they don’t miss out on your top-notch product or service.

It’s also a great way to show your customers that you care and provide a good service.

Finally, thanks to our self-service feature, your customers can sign up, activate, change, and pause or cancel accounts independently. Both your customers and especially your customer support team will be grateful.

API-first and GDPR compliant

Whichever recurring billing and subscription management platform you choose, make sure it is integration-friendly. You want all of your systems to “talk” to each other automatically and without bigger issues. For example, Upodi has an API-first approach. Integrate it with your ERP or PSP, any system you need. There will be no forced collaboration with other tools or companies.

Running a subscription-based business also means handling large amounts of customer data. We know what a hassle it can be to comply with all of those data-related international regulations. Upodi fully complies with the requirements of GDPR or PCI. One more thing you don’t need to worry about.
