What is recurring billing software?

Recurring billing software charges customers automatically on a schedule — monthly, annual, or per usage period. Charging is the easy part: the software also has to track what each customer owes as plans change, prorate upgrades and downgrades, apply credits, produce invoices that survive finance review, and recover failed payments. A spreadsheet can remind you to invoice; recurring billing software has to be correct every cycle, for every customer, with a record of why.

Subscription lifecycle management

Every recurring charge starts from correct subscription state. Floatless tracks the full lifecycle as a first-class object.

  • Trialing, active, paused, and canceled states with renewal dates
  • Plan upgrades, downgrades, and seat changes on the same record
  • Monthly, annual, and hybrid cadences on one catalog

Bill runs with review

Recurring does not mean unsupervised. Draft invoices are generated, reviewed, and posted — so a human catches the edge cases before customers do.

  • Invoice drafts per billing period
  • Rated usage folded into the same run
  • Post, download, and sync from one place

Proration and plan changes

Customers change plans mid-cycle. Floatless keeps the money math attached to the subscription record instead of a script.

  • Upgrade and downgrade handling with clear invoice lines
  • Credits and manual adjustments without losing context
  • Renewal exposure visible per account

Failed payment recovery

Recurring billing fails politely. Dunning tracks failed charges and retries against customer billing state.

  • Payment failure states per invoice
  • Retry attempts with a recovery timeline
  • Clear customer communication instead of silent cancellations

Public API and webhooks

Your product and your billing stay in sync. Every recurring-billing object is reachable over /api/public/v1.

  • Idempotent writes for subscription and usage changes
  • Webhooks for billing lifecycle events
  • Cursor-paginated reads for downstream systems

Records that answer questions

When finance or a customer asks why an invoice looks a certain way, the answer is in the workspace — not in someone else’s head.

  • Invoice state history
  • Audit trail of billing changes
  • Billing records exportable via API and downloads

FAQ

Common questions

Does Floatless charge the card itself?+

No. Floatless runs the billing operations — state, invoices, credits, recovery tracking. Collection connects to your own payment provider when enabled.

Can I run monthly and annual plans together?+

Yes. The catalog supports monthly, annual, seat-based, and usage-based plans, and customers can be on a mix of them.

What happens when a payment fails?+

The invoice records the failure, dunning tracks retries against the customer’s billing state, and the subscription decision — pause, retry, cancel — stays with an operator.

Is Floatless free?+

Yes. Floatless is free during beta and no credit card is required to create a workspace.

Can I integrate recurring billing with my product?+

Yes. Subscriptions, usage events, invoices, and webhooks are all available over the versioned public API.
