01
Set up your plans.
Each plan has its amount and how often it is charged: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, or every 3 months if that is how you sell it. If you want, give trial days before the first charge.

How it works
You set up the plan once and Recaudo charges every period. If a card fails, it tries again for you.
02
Change the plan, pause or cancel when needed.
From the subscriber page you adjust their plan or stop the charges for a while. When canceling you choose whether it ends right away or at the end of the paid period, and every change reaches your system by webhook.

If the card fails, Recaudo tries again.
The first retry is the next day and the second one three days later. With your email connected, the customer gets a notice on every decline. If no attempt goes through, the subscription is marked unpaid so you can decide what to do.

The problem with charging by hand every month
If your business depends on recurring revenue (memberships, monthly services, rent, tuition), charging by hand every period is a burden. Chasing customers, remembering dates and dealing with declined payments takes time you should be spending on your business.
Automated subscriptions with Recaudo
You define your plans once: the amount and how often it's charged, for example every month or every 2 weeks. Each period, Recaudo automatically charges the customer's card on file.
If a charge fails, Recaudo retries it twice: the next day and three days later. If you have email set up on your account, the customer gets an email notice when their charge doesn't go through.
Key capabilities
- Flexible plans: charge every set number of days, weeks, months or years, with a free trial period if you want one.
