  • Handle cancellations... and reactivations!
  • Use web-hooks to handle renewal payments, cancellation, payment failures
  • Upgrading/Downgrading a subscription correctly with prorations
  • Offer Coupons and even free subscriptions to awesome people!
  • Giving your user's high-quality invoices

Oh, the possibilities are endless: create a subscription service that treats your customers right.
