Simple Integration

The Simple Integration method allows any business to sell subscriptions, handle recurring payments, and provide automated customer service.

• You don't need any e-commerce software
• You will not need to change virtually anything on your existing Web pages
• All you will do is adding to one or more pages links to the products/services that you wish to sell
• SubscriptionBridge will take care of the rest
• See a demo of how it works.

1. Sign up for a free trial
2. You will receive an email with further instructions.

Using the SubscriptionBridge Merchant Center, you will set up the subscription-based products and/or services that you wish to sell. The system will generate a link for each of them. You will take that link and place it on one or more of your Web pages (or even an e-mail newsletter) as a text link (e.g. “Buy Now”), image button (e.g. “Buy Now” button), or HTML form.

When customers click on the link or button, they will be taken through a quick checkout process. When an order is successfully placed, SubscriptionBridge will setup their new subscription and inform all parties involved.

The checkout process is a simple, two-step process where customers:

• Click on one of the links you have placed on your Web site (e.g. two subscriptions to your gymnasium: “Gym Membership - Nights & Weekends” vs. “Gym Membership - Extended Access”)
• Review the product/service that they are subscribing to including terms and conditions, trial pricing (if any), regular pricing, etc.
• Select additional features, if any (e.g. add “Locker Rental” to a “Gym Membership - Nights & Weekends”)
• Add their selection to the shopping cart
• Use a quick, one-page checkout system to place their order.

SubscriptionBridge will setup a new subscription based on your merchant settings (e.g. which payment system to use) and the customer's selections (i.e. selected items, total price).

• Depending on which payment system is being used, the customer's credit card will either be immediately charged or temporarily authorized for a small amount for verification purposes (more about credit card authorizations).
• If there is a trial period, the trial will start and the trial price (if any) will be charged
• If there is no trial period, the regular subscription amount will be charged
• E-mail notifications will be sent to both you and your customer.
• Developers: a silent post will be sent to the Callback URL if any has been specified.
