For business teams

End-to-end billing software, no code required

Start billing for recurring subscriptions in minutes. Use Invoicing to collect payments from existing customers or share a payment link to sell a subscription – no code required. Once you're set up, you can manage accounts and view detailed financial and revenue reports directly from the Dashboard. You can also enable your customers to self-manage their subscriptions by sharing a link to a secure, pre-built customer portal.

Scaling our products means giving our users flexible subscription options. With Stripe Billing, we quickly rolled out monthly pay-as-you-go options for ChatGPT and our API, respectively.

Patricia Lue, Head of Revenue Accounting & Operations

With billing, tax, reporting, and more on the same platform, Stripe automation helps eliminate inefficient processes as we scale the business. And that’s essential as we continue supporting Retool’s growth with a relatively small team.

Luke Franklin, Controller

Stripe Billing enabled us to launch our subscription product, eero Plus, on schedule and with billing fully integrated.

Mark Sieglock, Head of Business Operations

We implemented Stripe to introduce new billing and payment models and increased our trial conversion by 300%.

Retention

From one-time order to lifetime customer

Automate every part of recurring relationships – from managing customer events to retrying failed payments at the ideal time.

Reduce involuntary churn

Nearly a quarter of churn is involuntary – it’s caused by missed payments or declined cards. Stripe’s recovery tools help businesses recover 57% of failed recurring payments on average, and businesses using our Smart Retries recover 11% more revenue than those retrying failed payments on a set schedule. Stripe’s recovery tools helped our users recover $3.42 billion in revenue last year.

For involuntary churn, we have found that Stripe Smart Retries have really worked for us. They’re built into Stripe Billing and use machine learning to retry cards at the optimal time. We’ve recovered millions of dollars in revenue that we would have otherwise lost – this is very substantial for us as a subscription business.

Nadia Ali, CFO, Midjourney

Smart Retries

Stripe uses machine learning to choose optimal times to retry failed payments which may increase the chance of success. 90% of the cards used on the Stripe network have been seen more than once.

Automatic reminders and one-click updates

Enable automated emails for failed or overdue payments. Plus give your customers a secure, one-click option for updating their payment method in the hosted recovery page.

Automatic card updater

Stripe works directly with card networks (where available) to update payment details when a card expires or is replaced.

Recovery analytics

Monitor and analyse subscription payment failures and recovery rates, measure the effectiveness of all recovery efforts in a single view, and investigate trends using downloadable reports directly from the Dashboard.

Optimise the customer lifecycle

Use Stripe as a system of record for the customer lifecycle: manage important events such as automatically provisioning services for new subscribers or sending reminders for renewals. You can also enable your customers to self-manage their subscriptions with the customer portal.

Build vs. buy

Building your own subscription and billing management software requires significant investment, and it’s flat-out difficult to get right.

Businesses often cobble something together to support an initial launch, but underestimate the complexity and costs down the line. A homegrown solution needs to be continuously maintained to support new product launches, business models, pricing experiments, global expansion, changes in regulatory requirements, and a host of other challenges as business grows. Learn why 55% of recurring revenue businesses are likely to get a new billing system by Q1 2025.
Stripe Billing offers the functionality you need to quickly get started today, but with the flexibility and features to support you at scale, so you can focus on building your business.
