Subscription billing questions
What is the difference between subscription and recurring billing?
Recurring billing describes charging on a schedule. Subscription management also involves the plan, customer account and changes over time. BillingServ connects packages and orders with recurring invoices and customer records.
Can I offer monthly and annual subscriptions?
Yes. Configure multiple billing cycles on a package, including monthly and annual options, with a price for each.
Will every recurring invoice charge automatically?
Not necessarily. Automatic collection depends on your selected gateway, the integration and a suitable customer payment authorisation. Customers can also pay invoices through the available checkout methods.
Can subscriptions include usage charges?
Yes. A package can include usage meters with allowances and per-unit prices. Report usage through the API and bill the overage alongside your recurring workflow.
Can I try BillingServ before migrating?
Yes. Use the public demo or start a 14-day free trial. Test your packages, invoices and payment configuration before moving customers.
