Subscription Billing

Recurring billing logic that stays separate from payment provider details.

Model plans, billing schedules, payment attempts and subscription state in your application while configured providers handle the underlying payment method and tokenization capabilities.

Subscription billing lifecycle interface
Billing lifecycle

Keep recurring revenue state explicit from schedule to payment outcome.

PixelNestTech can sit between your subscription logic and payment providers so provider-specific recurring-payment behavior does not become your core billing model.

1

Create subscription

Store plan, customer, billing interval and your own subscription reference.

2

Schedule billing

Determine when the next charge or invoice should be created according to your product rules.

3

Attempt payment

Use the configured provider and its approved recurring-payment or token reference capability.

4

Update lifecycle

Apply success, retry, pause or cancellation rules to your own subscription state.

Billing controls

Build the subscription behavior your product actually needs.

Billing logic can be modeled independently from the payment method so the product can evolve without depending on one provider's subscription object model.

  • Fixed or variable recurring billing schedules
  • Trial, active, paused and cancelled subscription states
  • Business-defined retry and dunning schedules
  • Provider token references instead of raw payment credentials
  • Invoices, payment attempts and webhook-driven status updates
Plan awareKeep pricing and schedule logic in the business domain.
Provider neutralUse provider token or recurring-payment capabilities through adapters.
Lifecycle drivenSeparate subscription state from an individual payment attempt.
Payment-data note: Sensitive payment credential capture and tokenization should be handled by appropriately configured payment providers. PixelNestTech can retain provider-issued references rather than raw card or account credentials.
Recurring operations

Give support and finance teams a clear subscription timeline.

Billing schedules

Represent next-bill dates and billing intervals explicitly so subscription timing stays predictable.

Attempt history

Keep every payment attempt linked to the subscription, invoice and provider reference that produced it.

Retry workflow

Apply business-defined retry timing instead of allowing provider behavior to silently determine your customer lifecycle.

Subscription API

Use one billing model across supported payment providers.

Keep the subscription contract in your application and treat each payment attempt as an orchestration event linked back to that contract.

  • Subscription and plan references
  • Next billing timestamp
  • Provider payment-method reference
  • Attempt, retry and final-status events
Illustrative subscription object
