Recurring Billing for Lean Startups

Recurring billing and subscriptions can be complicated, requiring developers to program complex integrations with a subscription billing application and integrate it with payments gateways and merchant accounts. They need to create interfaces and programing logic for customers to view their subscription plans, past transactions, manage subscription changes or cancelations and questions regarding transactions. Developers have to code custom CSS to match the branding and colors of hosted payment pages to your marketing web site. Any changes call for developer involvement too; if you add a subscription plan, have a promotion with a price change, revise your trial period, charge for new features or update the colors on your site. These distractions usually add up to several days of developer resources away from focusing on building and improving your products.

A few years ago you needed a programmer if you wanted to build a website, and if you wanted any revisions, or even to fix a spelling mistake, you needed to have a developer to do it. Now, with hosted Content Management Systems like Squarespace and applications like Wordpress it's easy for anyone to quickly create and update a website and publish it for the world to see without knowing or even seeing a line of code.

Now with Simplified Ecommerce you have the freedom to create and manage all your billing and subscription plans for your web apps and digital products yourself, without dependance on developers. Integrations are as simple as pasting a link on your site. You can match your hosted payment pages with your website's look and brand with no programming knowledge. You can add, revise and update subscription plans anytime and customers have their own interface where they can view their transactions, change or cancel subscriptions and submit questions regarding payments.
