Use Subscriptions to Reduce Collections Headaches

Andrew Neitlich who blogs at Sitepoint wrote an article today about eliminating payment hassles using subscriptions. This is something I’ve been doing for a good many months, the only difference being he uses 1shoppingcart and I’ve been using mostly Paypal.

For people who use Paypal, it’s very easy to set up short-term subscriptions. Just log into Paypal, go into the merchant tools area, and look for the bit on subscriptions. It will walk you through the process, you just fill in a few fields, and it will give you a link or a button to show to your customers. It’s saved me a hundred headaches.

Good tip Andrew.
