Box UK partners with Chargify to remove pain from recurring billin

March 19, 2012 - PRLog -- Continuing their commitment to innovation and investment in R&D, Box UK [http://www.boxuk.com] has recently extended their range of products with the launch of subScript, a framework application that leverages the power of the Chargify API to enable Software as a Service (SaaS) providers to rapidly develop products and services.

E-commerce is fast becoming a central component of online businesses and for SaaS providers the ability to co-ordinate recurring billing (often involving differing price bands) is vital. Built using Ruby on Rails, subScript seamlessly manages the entire e-commerce process, leaving merchants free to focus on developing the features and functionality of their software and delivering the highest quality services to their users.

The application handles all user subscription information, sending payment details to secure PCI-compliant pages and working with Chargify’s API to ensure the correct fees are collected according to the pre-determined frequency. Any issues that may occur with the subscription, such as incorrect details or expired cards, are resolved through the tool without the need for merchants to manually intervene. Administrators receive automatic updates and can also get an at-a-glance view of activity through the highly-usable back end interface.

As products are built directly into subScript, merchants have increased control over their system so as well as handling the collection of fees, the framework also incorporates advanced account management, offering all expected user level functions and providing a skeleton user object to build the application onto (this includes access control, profile administration and password management).

Merchants can customise their pricing options depending on the frequency of billing, level of functionality offered and even by usage limits, with editable user permissions, making it the ideal tool to start successfully developing and selling SaaS.
