Chargify seems to be on the right path. I do think they could use some work on their flexibility though.
Holding credit card data is always a bitch. Paypal website payments pro's API lets you issue coupons and discounts that are baked into the initial signup. However midcycle its tough to issue a discount.
They also have some bugs in their API with their callback urls etc.
- hartror 16y agoMy biggest bitch about paypal and subscriptions? They have a documented event for the end of a subscription (EOT) THAT DOESN'T EVER GET SENT! We had some unpaying subscribers hanging around for a few weeks before we noticed the money coming in didn't match our active subscribers. So now we have a nice little cron job cleaning up expired subscriptions. Don't get me started on the quality or lack thereof of Paypal and their systems.
- jlarkin 16y agoActually, Aria SubscriptionsPlus for PayPal lets you manage discounts, etc. with the customer service tools.
- dh 16y agoGlad you think Chargify is the right path, love to hear what flexibility you want that we cannot give.
- brianbreslin 16y ago@dh I haven't looked over the product in 3 months or so, but there was some issue at the time that we felt we could do better in our own code we layed on top of paypal api.
