The Challenge
Inconsistent Plan Changes
Upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations were handled manually, often causing billing discrepancies.
Payment Failure Handling
Failed recurring payments had no consistent retry or notification process, risking silent churn.
What We Can Identified
A billing core built around subscription plans, automated recurring invoicing, and plan change handling.
Subscription Plans
Businesses define subscription plans with pricing, billing frequency, and feature tiers.
Automated Recurring Billing
Invoices are generated and processed automatically on each subscriber's billing cycle.
Plan Upgrades & Downgrades
Subscribers change plans with billing adjustments calculated automatically.
Cancellation Handling
Cancellations are processed cleanly, with billing stopped at the correct cycle boundary.
Payment Failure Retry
Failed payments trigger automatic retries and subscriber notifications before service interruption.
Billing Dashboard
Businesses monitor active subscriptions, revenue, and failed payment status in one place.
How We Built the Billing Platform
