Subscription Billing Service Launches Payment Gateway
Dec. 5, 2011
Recurly, Inc., a San Francisco-based subscription billing
service provider, has released a payment gateway designed specifically for
recurring billing. The company said the payment gateway enables organizations that
provide services on a subscription basis to access subscriber renewal
management capabilities and credit card error optimization achieved in the past
only by expensive custom-built systems. A partnership with Columbus, Ga.-based
payments processor TSYS, Recurly said the gateway is able to help its customers
optimize retention, minimize churn and extend the lifetime value of subscribers
under their management, according to Dan Burkhart, CEO of Recurly. “Integrating
directly with TSYS for credit card processing gives us a unique ability to
provide services to our customers that others cannot,” Burkhart said. “We’re
working on addressing the hardest credit card processing challenges so that our
customers receive the benefits of our service while avoiding the need to invest
in an area that is non-core to their business.”
