# Subscriptions managed by Payrexx

## Requirements

To receive recurring payments with Payrexx, you need to activate a payment provider that supports this functionality. The feature matrix shows which payment providers offer this functionality:

{% content-ref url="../../../payment-provider/psp-features" %}
[psp-features](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/payment-provider/psp-features)
{% endcontent-ref %}

We recommend Swiss merchants set up the payment provider [Payrexx Pay](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/payment-provider/payrexx-pay). For merchants in the [European region](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/payment-provider/country-availability), we recommend using [Payrexx Pay Plus](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/payment-provider/payrexx-pay).

## Usage

Once you have set up a subscription-enabled payment provider, you can offer recurring payments through [Payrexx tools](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/account/tools), the [Payrexx API](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/account/api-and-plugins), or via your own integration.

You can use the subscription feature within the following three Payrexx tools. Click on the respective tool to find out how you can set up subscriptions:

## Subscriptions from the Customer's Perspective

### Creating a Subscription

On the Payrexx payment page – using a [Pages](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/account/tools/pages/pages-subscriptions) shop as an example – the customer completes the following steps to activate a subscription:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1455115231-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MYJhU4qriZCz_Wxs0T0-887967055%2Fuploads%2FtVFrOgt2WveQBS8SOhXD%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=04be4367-7528-42f5-94df-5aae2b0bb814" alt=""><figcaption><p>Creating a subscription from the customer’s perspective</p></figcaption></figure></div>

1. **Product:** If multiple subscription options are available, the customer selects the preferred version.
2. **Address Information:** The customer enters their address and contact details.
3. **Payment Details:** The customer selects the preferred payment method and enters the required payment information.
4. **Payment:** By clicking the green button, the payment process is initiated.

A payment confirmation is then displayed on the screen:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1455115231-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MYJhU4qriZCz_Wxs0T0-887967055%2Fuploads%2FNPRokuNxC9HXksGqltqW%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8b3a3caf-cd13-48b7-b0a1-59bd22e0f59e" alt=""><figcaption><p>On-screen confirmation of successful payment</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The customer also receives a confirmation email summarizing the key details of the subscription:
