Subscribie

What Subscribie is

Subscribie lets businesses, clubs, and service providers create subscription websites and collect recurring payments online without coding. Shops can offer weekly, monthly, or yearly payments, as well as one-off upfront charges; Stripe handles both payment types. A shop can be embedded into an existing website, and each shop receives a free Subscribie web address. Owners can create private subscriber pages and upload files for subscriber access. They can pause or cancel active subscriptions, set cancellation dates, and refund individual transactions. Subscribie can charge VAT automatically and generate invoices that show VAT. Its listed integrations include Stripe payments, Google Analytics, and the Tawk live chat widget. The maker describes the software as open source and says users with the necessary skills can host it themselves. The free plan supports creating subscription plans, setting up a sign-up page, and test payments. The Business Plan costs £27.99 a month plus 1.25% of sales and Stripe fees; the yearly option is £251.90 a year plus those charges. Support is available online and by email during support hours.
