The 3 Biggest Challenges Subscription eCommerce Businesses Are Facing Today
Frequently Asked Questions
What are recurring payments and how do they work?
Recurring payments are a payment model where a business automatically charges a customer’s payment method for products or services on a regular billing schedule. Customers enter their billing information once and grant the merchant permission to charge them at an agreed-upon cost and frequency — monthly, annually or on a custom schedule.
What subscription and recurring billing models does BlueSnap support?
BlueSnap supports a wide range of subscription and recurring billing models through a single integration, including fixed recurring plans, metered billing, per-seat pricing, tiered plans, usage-based billing and promotional or trial period offers. Businesses can also customize billing structures with service periods, invoice intervals, prorating, autopay and discounts. For businesses with existing subscription software, BlueSnap integrates directly with platforms such as Chargebee, Maxio and Zuora to extend their capabilities without switching tools.
What is Account Updater and how does it reduce subscription churn?
BlueSnap’s Account Updater is a tool that automatically updates customer payment information, such as expiration date changes, account number changes or account closures, so businesses don’t lose recurring revenue when a card changes or expires. This keeps subscriptions active and revenue flowing uninterrupted.
How do automated retries help recover failed subscription payments?
Automated retries help recover failed subscription payments by automatically reattempting a charge during a grace period when a subscription payment fails, rather than immediately canceling the subscription or requiring the customer to re-enter payment details. BlueSnap’s automated retry logic retries failed payments at the optimal time to maximize the likelihood of approval, helping businesses capture more conversions and secure more revenue that would otherwise be lost to payment failures.
Can BlueSnap support subscription billing for global businesses?
Yes, BlueSnap can support subscription billing for global businesses. BlueSnap’s subscription solution includes preferred global payment types and currencies, local acquiring in 50 countries and Intelligent Payment Routing to maximize authorization rates across different regions.
