Recurring billing is a payment model where customers are charged automatically on a scheduled basis — such as weekly, monthly, or annually. It’s common in SaaS, subscription boxes, memberships, and utilities.
If your business depends on subscriptions, managing recurring billing reliably is critical. Recurring billing requires storing customer credentials securely and often involves regulatory considerations for reminders and cancellation options. You should also monitor failed charges, cancellation trends, and dispute reasons tied to renewals. Optimizing these processes helps reduce churn and chargebacks while improving customer satisfaction.
AltoPay supports automated billing, renewal notifications, and secure card storage through PCI-compliant platforms.
