How can I automate recurring billing?

For SaaS and membership businesses, manual invoicing is inefficient. This answer explains how 4Geeks Payments turns "billing" into a "set it and forget it" process using Subscriptions.

4Geeks Payments automates the entire recurring billing lifecycle through its Subscriptions engine. Instead of manually sending invoices every month, you define a Plan (e.g., "Gold Membership - $50/month") and subscribe customers to it.

Key automation features include:

  • Auto-Debits: The system automatically charges the customer's stored token on the due date.

  • Retry Logic: If a recurring payment fails, 4Geeks can attempt to retry the charge based on your settings, recovering revenue without your intervention.

  • Proration: If a customer upgrades or downgrades their plan in the middle of a cycle, the system automatically calculates the price difference.

You can set up these plans via the API or directly in the web console.
