Question for people with a recurring subscription payment model
Hey guys,
I have a quick question for those of you that have membership websites that have a recurring subscription billing model.
I'm currently working on split testing a $1 trial moving to a $19/month system after 5 days vs a free trial moving to a $19/month system after 5 days.
These will be auto-billed.
Problems:
- Currently using Paypal; apart from their high fees and crappy support they also require that you have a Paypal account to 'subscribe' members through their platform. This isn't a huge issue, but what it does mean is that for people WITHOUT a Paypal account they need to fill in a huge form that includes address, a number of other details to first sign up for an account then pay.
- Paypal also requires that for the member to cancel their subscription they need to login to their account, find the subscription section and cancel it themselves manually. IE: There's no one link they can click (like Aweber) to cancel the subscription right away. This again isn't a really important issue, and I'm not sure there is another payment system that can even correct it but it definitely doesn't make it easy for members.
Can anyone recommend something better than Paypal that can correct either of the issues above? I'm looking into Stripe right now, but also open to any better solutions and ways around these issues people have found.
Thanks in advance!
