Pages Subscriptions

This chapter covers the use of subscriptions (recurring payments) within the Payrexx e-commerce tool "Pages".

To offer subscriptions within the "Pages" tool, you need to use a payment provider that supports this functionality. For merchants in Switzerland, we recommend using Payrexx Pay.

To find out which payment providers support subscriptions, please refer to the following article:

Setting Up a Shop with Subscription Functionality

To set up subscriptions in your Pages shop, please follow the steps in the following guide:

1. Navigate to Pages > Overview in the main menu of your Payrexx account.

2. Use the green "Create" button in the top right to create a new page, or click on an existing page to edit it.

3. Open the "Payment information" tab, where you will see the following window:

Subscription settings in the "Payment information" tab of the Pages shop

1. Payment type

Select "Subscription" as the payment type. Please note that only one payment method can be used. A mix of one-time payments, tokenizations, and subscriptions is not possible.

If the "Subscription" option is not selectable, it means that you do not have a compatible payment provider activated. In such a case, refer to our feature matrix to check which payment providers support subscriptions.

2. Subscription settings

In the subscription settings, you define the following criteria:

Example of subscription settings

1. Billing period: The intervals at which the subscription amount is debited from the customer.

2. Subscription term: The total runtime of the subscription.

3. Cancellation period: How far in advance the customer must cancel the subscription.

Please note that a subscription will automatically renew for the defined subscription period if it is not canceled. Your customers can manage and cancel their subscriptions through the login on the shop page (Pages).
