Payments for subscription businesses

Recurring revenue is only predictable if the payments keep landing — billing infrastructure built for continuity merchants.

The problem, honestly

Involuntary churn — cards expiring, reissues, soft declines — quietly takes a bite out of every subscription business, and continuity billing sits in acquirer categories that generic providers handle badly.

What you get

Tokenised recurring billing

Cards stored as network tokens, so reissued cards keep working without customer friction.

Fewer involuntary cancellations

Scheme account-updater support and sensible retry timing recover payments that would otherwise silently fail.

Clean dunning

Failed-payment communication your customers don’t resent — and your chargeback ratio survives.

Smart Routing behind every transaction

Card transactions are routed toward the acquiring path most likely to approve — the policy is published, and the network averages 97% approval across all verticals and regions.

Subscriptions payment FAQs

Why do subscription payments fail?

Mostly expired or reissued cards and issuer soft declines — not customer intent. Tokenisation, account-updater and retry timing address each cause.

Does continuity billing count as higher-risk?

Acquirers do classify continuity/subscription billing in higher-risk categories because of its chargeback patterns — which is why sector-aware underwriting matters more than a generic gateway.

Can we bill in multiple currencies?

Yes — price in your customers’ currencies and settle in yours, across 40+ settlement currencies.
