Manual billing, broken entitlements, and payment failures costing you revenue.Automated today.

Subscription billing automation starts with mapping every billing workflow that currently requires manual intervention: plan upgrades triggered by sales team action rather than user self-service, renewals that require manual invoice creation, cancellations that leave orphaned access rights in the product, trial conversions that require ops team involvement. The specialist implements automated workflows for each: webhook-driven plan change processing, automated renewal notifications with payment retry logic, cancellation flows with access revocation and data retention handling, and trial-to-paid conversion tracking. Every workflow is connected to your billing provider (Stripe, Recurly, Chargebee) so events trigger automatically without human intervention.

Entitlement logic determines what features a user can access based on their subscription plan, and keeping it accurate as plans change is the core complexity of SaaS billing. The specialist implements a centralised entitlement service: a single source of truth that your product queries to determine access rights, rather than hardcoded plan checks scattered across the codebase. When a user upgrades, downgrades, or cancels, the entitlement service updates automatically via billing webhook. Feature flags are connected to entitlements so access changes instantly without a code deployment. This architecture makes it safe to add new plans, change feature access, or run promotions without risk of access control bugs.

Payment failure handling needs both technical automation and business logic. The specialist implements a dunning workflow: an automated sequence of retry attempts and customer communications triggered when a payment fails. Typically: immediate retry at 24 hours, email notification to the customer at 48 hours with a payment update link, second retry at 72 hours, final warning email at day 7, subscription suspension at day 14 (access suspended but data retained), subscription cancellation at day 30 if no recovery. The timing and communication copy are configurable to match your business policy. Recovery rate for involuntary churn typically improves 15-30% with a well-implemented dunning workflow compared to no automation.

Yes. Subscription reporting covers the metrics subscription businesses track: MRR (monthly recurring revenue broken down by new, expansion, contraction, and churn), ARR, churn rate (both revenue churn and customer churn), net revenue retention, lifetime value by plan and acquisition channel, and trial conversion rates. The specialist builds these reports as a live dashboard connected to your billing provider data so your team sees real-time subscription health without manual data exports. Reports include cohort analysis so you can see which signup cohorts retain best, which plans have highest expansion revenue, and which channels produce highest-value customers.

Mid-cycle plan changes require proration logic - calculating the credit for unused days on the old plan and the charge for remaining days on the new plan. The specialist implements proration calculations that match your billing policy (immediate proration, end-of-cycle switch, or next-cycle billing depending on upgrade versus downgrade), ensures the billing provider applies the correct proration, updates entitlements immediately on upgrade and at cycle end on downgrade, and generates the correct invoice line items for transparency. The specialist also handles edge cases: plan changes during trials, annual-to-monthly switches, and team seat additions on per-seat pricing models.
