What payment models are available?

Recurring payments (fixed monthly fee), prepaid (term agreement with price guarantee), installments (use today, pay later in 4 instalments), and variable fees (access + variable fee based on usage).

Can I support different payment intervals?

Yes. Define daily, weekly, monthly and custom cycles. Combine intervals within a single product.

Does Zevio support variable invoice amounts?

Yes. Ideal for consumption-based billing such as utilities. Automatic collection after invoice issuance.

Do I need my own mobile app?

No. Use Zevio via QR, email or website. API/SDK available.

Does the user have full control over subscriptions?

Yes. Users see all cycles/history and can pause/resume instantly.

Can I test the system before going live?

Yes. Full access to test environment with API documentation.

Does the transaction fee include the payment gateway cost?

Yes. The percentage charged per transaction is the total cost — it covers both the payment gateway (PSP) fee and the Zevio commission. The gateway adds no extra per-transaction charges. The price includes the payment gateway and one-off payments too.

How do subscription payments differ from recurring payments?

Recurring payments are the mechanism for charging automatically. A subscription is the business model (regular access for a regular fee) that uses it — together with managing plans, trials, discounts and cancellation.

Which billing cycles are supported?

Monthly, quarterly and yearly, with an optional discount for a longer commitment. Trials, promo periods and mid-term plan changes are supported too.

How does Zevio reduce churn?

Failed payments are retried automatically and the customer is reminded to update their payment method. On top of that, winback scenarios help recover customers after cancellation.

Which metrics will I see?

MRR, ARR, LTV, churn and retention — together with management of subscriptions, plans and each customer's payment history in one panel.

Which payment methods do subscriptions support?

BLIK Recurring, card (with tokenization), and Apple Pay and Google Pay. The customer authorizes once; the next subscription periods charge automatically.

Definition

Subscription payments vs recurring payments

Subscription payments are billing in a subscription or membership model — the customer pays regularly for access to a product or service, and you manage the whole lifecycle of that relationship: from trial and plan launch, through changes and discounts, to cancellation and recovery. Recurring payments are the charging mechanism itself; a subscription is the business model that uses it.

Subscription lifecycle

From the first plan to keeping the customer

Zevio drives the subscription through every stage — automatically.

1
Plan launch
The customer picks a plan and authorizes payment once — optionally from a trial or promo period.
2
Recurring billing
The fee charges itself on a monthly, quarterly or yearly cadence, as a fixed or variable amount.
3
Plan changes and discounts
Upgrade, downgrade, proration and coupon codes without manual recalculation.
4
Cancellation and pause
The customer can cancel or pause the subscription; you see the reason and the moment.
5
Recovery and retention
Failed payments are retried, and winback scenarios help recover the customer.
