How to Overcome the 3 Common Challenges in Managing Recurring Payments

Recurring payments are enticing because they make collecting payments easy for you and your customers. However, managing recurring payments can also pose some challenges.

Fortunately, subscription management software can support you in overcoming these challenges and simplifying your recurring payment process. One of them is Subscribie which allows you to collect recurring payments online and sell subscription plans easily.

Subscribie takes care of creating invoices as well as collecting payments from your customer on a recurring basis. You can set up unlimited subscription plans with different billing cycles, prices, and features. You can also charge upfront costs, offer free trials, and set end dates for your subscriptions. Subscribie handles all the payment processing, so you don’t have to worry about manually collecting payments.

Handling Failed Payments

While working with businesses, we understand that failed payments can be a sensitive topic to handle especially in certain situations. We always like to take into consideration you and your customers' needs. That's why if a customer’s subscription payment fails, we retry to collect their payment and send you an email notifying you of the failed payment. To avoid additional failed transaction charges against the customer's bank we limit transactions to 4 attempts when collecting payments. We feel like this is a balance between collecting a customer’s payment on time and also considering the financial strain of the additional charges levied on the customer for failed transactions. To learn more about how we handle failed payments, check out our blog post about our process of collection and the steps taken to handle failed payments.

Invoicing and Tax

Subscribie automatically calculates and charges VAT, all you need to do is enable it in your shop’s dashboard. Once enabled, VAT will be added to your plans so customers can see prices inclusive of VAT. This is also reflected in your invoices, which are automatically generated so you don't need to worry about paperwork.
