In today’s business landscape, maintaining a consistent and sustainable revenue stream is an ideal goal. That’s why subscription business models have become a key strategy. And that’s why we’ll delve into Curlec Subscriptions – a management tool that’ll help simplify your subscriptions and scale your business.

Why consider subscriptions? 

Subscriptions offer a multitude of benefits to businesses: improved cash flow management, ongoing customer engagement, and cross-selling opportunities. What’s not to like? Businesses can leverage customer insights to gain a competitive edge in their industry – contributing to long-term sustainability and financial stability. 

But with that said, how can Curlec help? 

Designed to simplify every aspect of subscription management, we have a range of features to make it efficient and hassle-free. Firstly, setting up in just three steps:-

1. Onboard the Curlec Payment Gateway and start transacting.
2. Create a Plan on our Curlec Dashboard – a Plan contains all information about the services such as the price and billing cycle.
3. Next, create a Subscription that’ll contain start dates, number of billing cycles, and more.

Curlec Subscriptions does not require any intervention from your customer. It’s fully automated and requires a one-time approval via an authentication transaction. Once that’s successful, your customer’s card will be automatically charged at the start of every billing cycle. That’s it! 

You can also learn more about Curlec Subscriptions on our Documentations here. 

About billing cycles

Secondly, now that you know how to set-up, you’ll be delighted to know about the three billing cycles we support:

• Fixed Schedule & Fixed Amount: Regularly charge customers a predetermined amount for a fixed quantity of goods or services.
• Fixed Schedule & Fixed Amount + Add-ons: Bill customers at regular intervals with the option to add extra goods or services for an additional fee. 
• Fixed Schedule & Variable Amount: Charge customers based on their actual usage within the defined time frame.

Benefits of Curlec Subscriptions

At the end of the day, our goal is to make subscriptions accessible yet efficient for startups and established enterprises alike. We want to empower businesses to thrive in this economy, creating a foundation for long-term success.
