    What kind of software would you suggest for someone who is interested in switching to a subscription type of billing? We also have it on our companies website, and we’re not sure just what exactly to use, everything seems complicated for a small company.

      Hi Zoran,

      Thanks for your question.

      E-commerce solutions are generally divided between platforms that focus specifically on subscriptions products and platforms that offer companies a comprehensive digital commerce solutions in addition to subscription and recurring billing management.

      If your focus is on subscription management, you need a solution that can accomodate customers who add or cancel seats in the middle of the billing period and prices that need to be prorated for partial months.

      Just remember that point solutions that focus entirely on subscriptions won’t necessarily act as your merchant of record. Also, if global expansion is a concern, these point solutions may not allow payments from global customers or provide alternative payment methods.
