You may be looking for recurring payments, which can be used to implement flexible subscriptions in a web shop or other e-commerce application. Unlike subscription payments, flexible plans and processes can be implemented. The application then controls orders proactively instead of reactively depending on payment transactions.

The integration guide for such recurring payments is here: Recurring Payments

Subscriptions are possible with:

  • SEPA direct debit;
  • credit card payment;
  • PayPal.

The checkout process for a subscription is much like an ordinary checkout.

You need to have one or more Subscription Plans beforehand. The subscription is derived from it. 

If the plans are not configured yet, please ask your project contact. Please keep ready these details:

  • a short descriptive name for each plan;
  • whether physical or digital goods;
  • billing cycles and cost, for instance:
    • a setup fee;
    • a trial period of 2 weeks at €0.99 each;
    • regular payments of €7.99 per month;
  • offered payment methods (direct debit, credit card, PayPal).

If you are not in touch with us yet, please address our friendly help desk.
