Payment Processing

When a business accepts a payment from a subscriber — everything from processing the initial payment method, processing renewal payments, and securely communicating in real-time through the global payment networks to the customer’s bank to approve that payment, through the payment ultimately being deposited into that business’s bank account, is payment processing. 

Payment processing vendors can specialize by geography, industry, or even stage of business. They can be a stand-alone partner in your technology stack or already integrated into a subscription management or billing platform. Research and choose what is best for your subscription business! Please note that the listings below include services, tools, and platforms with expertise and a focus on recurring-focused products and services; not all payment processing vendors have recurring-revenue experience and the appropriate tools to support a subscription business!

FlexPay

FlexPay is the leading failed payment recovery platform for subscription and recurring payment businesses. FlexPay’s innovative platform uses multiple technologies to achieve the highest failed payment recovery rate, resulting in reduced involuntary churn and faster revenue and profit growth.

The platform has two complementary components:  Invisible RecoveryTM and Engaged RecoveryTM.

  • Invisible Recovery works directly with the payments system to recover most failed payments quickly without the customer ever knowing their payment was declined. There is no interruption in product or service delivery and the customer relationship continues as normal.
  • Engaged Recovery is used when customer help is needed to solve the failed payment, such as when a card has expired or has been lost or stolen. Engaged Recovery uses aspects of behavioral science to create branded outreach communications that motivate customers to promptly resolve the problem and keep their subscription active.

Multiple integration options, including API and access to 40+ CRMs, means quick set-up, no disruptions to billing, and instant recovery improvements compared to traditional in-house recovery methods.
