Subscription Billing That Recovers Revenue You Are Currently Losing

Failed payments silently churn 5 to 10 percent of subscribers every month. We integrate subscription billing with intelligent dunning sequences, proration logic, and plan management that maximizes recurring revenue and minimizes involuntary churn.

5-10%

of SaaS subscribers churn involuntarily each month due to failed payments, most of which can be recovered with proper dunning sequences

Our Subscription Billing Integration Process

1

Pricing Model and Billing Requirements

We document your complete pricing model: plan tiers, billing intervals, metered components, trial periods, proration rules, and tax requirements. We identify every billing scenario your platform needs to handle and design the billing architecture around them.

2

Payment Processor Setup and Integration

We configure your payment processor, create product and price objects, build the subscription lifecycle API, and implement webhook handlers for all billing events. Every payment operation is idempotent and safe to retry.

3

Customer-Facing Billing Experience

We build the billing UI: plan selection, checkout flow, billing portal for self-service plan changes, invoice history, payment method management, and cancellation flow with retention offers.

4

Dunning, Testing, and Launch

We configure dunning sequences, test every billing scenario in sandbox mode, validate webhook reliability, and launch with monitoring on billing metrics. We verify that proration, refunds, and edge cases all work correctly before going live.

Key Benefits

Revenue recovery from failed payments

Intelligent dunning sequences with exponential retry schedules, customer notification emails, and self-service payment update flows recover 30 to 70 percent of failed payments that would otherwise become involuntary churn. For a SaaS doing $50,000 MRR, this can mean $15,000 to $35,000 in annual recovered revenue.

Pricing flexibility without code changes

Launch new plans, change pricing, add usage-based components, or create promotional offers through configuration rather than code deployments. Your product and sales teams can iterate on pricing strategy without waiting for engineering sprints.

Clean billing events powering your application

Subscription created, upgraded, downgraded, canceled, payment succeeded, payment failed: every billing event triggers the corresponding application logic through a clean webhook integration. Feature access, tenant limits, and usage quotas update automatically based on billing state.

Research & Evidence

Backed by industry research and proven results

SaaS Churn Benchmarks

Involuntary churn from failed payments accounts for 20-40% of total churn in SaaS businesses, making dunning recovery one of the highest-ROI billing features

Baremetrics (2023)

The Developer Coefficient

42% of developer time goes to technical debt, and billing system complexity is one of the most common sources of SaaS technical debt due to edge cases around proration, refunds, and plan changes

Frequently Asked Questions

Should we use Stripe or Chargebee?

Stripe Billing is our default recommendation for most SaaS products. It handles the vast majority of billing scenarios, has excellent documentation, and charges lower fees. Chargebee adds value when you need advanced dunning customization, complex enterprise quoting, or revenue recognition reporting that Stripe does not provide natively. We will recommend based on your specific requirements.

How do you handle metered or usage-based billing?

We track usage events in your application database, aggregate them at the end of each billing period, and report the totals to your payment processor for invoicing. This pattern handles per-API-call, per-seat, per-GB, or any other usage metric. We build the aggregation pipeline with idempotent processing to ensure accurate billing.

Can you migrate billing from our current system?

Yes. We migrate subscriptions, payment methods, and billing history from your current system to the new one. The migration maintains subscription continuity so customers are not re-charged or interrupted. We have migrated billing systems from custom implementations, PayPal recurring, and legacy processors to Stripe without customer-facing disruption.

How long does subscription billing integration take?

A standard integration with flat-rate plans, trials, and basic dunning takes 3 to 5 weeks. Complex implementations with metered billing, enterprise quoting, multi-currency support, and tax compliance take 6 to 10 weeks. We deliver incrementally so basic billing is functional before advanced features are complete.
