Improved choice and total freedom
Customers can easily switch over to subscribing for your product instead of making single purchases. Or vice-versa; if they prefer not to subscribe, they can still make their one-off purchase. This freedom and flexibility allows customers to save time or budget their periodic requirements in a better way.

Transparent and customizable user interface
The extremely user-friendly customer interface gives them their subscription statistics and manage their subscriptions to various products. Customers are also sent alerts on progress of the subscription order.

Multiple payment options
Customers can pay using Authorize.net, PayPal Website Payments Pro, ePay, Check, Money Order, Saved Credit Card and Zero Check-out.
