Honest answers
Does Payly take a cut of subscription payments?
No. There is no monthly fee, no transaction fee and no paid tier. PayPal and Stripe charge their standard processing fees, as they would on any platform. How can this possibly be free?
Who charges the renewals?
Your own PayPal or Stripe account, on the schedule you set. Payly never charges a renewal itself. It records each payment as an order in your dashboard.
Can I offer a free trial or a sign-up fee?
Yes, either or both. A trial can last days, weeks, months or years, and the regular price is not charged until it ends. A sign-up fee is charged once, at checkout.
What happens if a renewal payment fails?
The subscription shows as Past due, and PayPal or Stripe tries the payment again on its own schedule. Payly emails the customer after each failed attempt, and any membership stays in place while the payment is retried.
Can customers pay with PayPal?
Yes. PayPal takes one subscription per checkout, so a cart that holds several subscriptions can only be paid by card through Stripe.
