Subscriptions

Recurring payments, handled.

Recurring billing for small businesses that sell the same thing every month: retainers, monthly plans, classes and support packages. Customers subscribe with one link, and Paystack or Stripe charges each renewal for you.

Start free

Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.

Create a plan

Name it, price it, choose monthly or yearly.

Sell a recurring plan to your own customers: a retainer, a coaching plan, a monthly box or a paid service. Give it a name, an amount and a short description of what subscribers get, then click Create plan.

  • Monthly or Annually billing
  • The plan is created in your Paystack or Stripe account
  • See each plan's active subscribers, and whether it's Active or Paused
Renewals

Renewals charge themselves.

Renewals are charged automatically by your connected provider, so there's nothing to run by hand. The Subscribers list shows each person's status and next renewal date. If a renewal fails, the subscriber shows as past due and the Finance Inbox tells you.

  • A Renews date on every active subscriber
  • Subscription payment failed items in the Finance Inbox
  • Cancel here when a customer stops
In your numbers

Recurring money you can plan around.

Monthly recurring revenue is shown right on the tab, normalised to a monthly value. Upcoming renewals feed your cash flow forecast, and every renewal shows in Transactions under the Subscriptions filter.

  • Active subscribers, Monthly recurring revenue and Total subscribers
  • Renewals included in your 30-day cash forecast
  • Subscription income on your profit and loss

Questions about subscriptions

What is recurring billing for a small business?
It means charging a customer the same amount on a schedule, like every month, without sending a new bill each time. In startbuddi you create a plan and your payment provider charges each renewal.
Can I take monthly payments with Paystack?
Yes. Connect and verify Paystack in Money Manager, create a plan with Monthly billing, and share the subscribe link. Renewals are charged by Paystack.
Which billing intervals can I use?
Monthly or Annually.
How do I stop someone's subscription?
Open the Subscribers list and click Cancel on that subscriber. Do it whenever a customer tells you they want to stop.
Can I sell subscriptions without code or a website?
Yes. There's nothing to build: create the plan and share the subscribe link on WhatsApp, Instagram or by email.

Turn regulars into monthly income.
