What it does
Cleverbridge sells software and digital subscriptions as a merchant of record, combining checkout, payment collection and subscription operations. Sellers can configure recurring products, generate business quotes and give customers a subscription portal. Fees are quoted for the business and charged through a transaction-based arrangement.
Set the first payment and later renewals
After subscription billing is enabled for the account, select a product and turn on its subscription options. Set the initial interval separately from the recurring interval, using days or months. The first price continues into later periods unless another interval has its own price. Finish by configuring the product's delivery method and subscription billing options.
Other controls can end a subscription after a chosen number of billing events or move its next billing date to follow a late payment. The event count excludes the initial payment. Agreement and confirmation settings are managed by Cleverbridge's Client Experience team.
Give buyers ways to manage the purchase
Business sales can start with a personalized checkout link populated from the seller's customer-management system. Buyers can also create quotes or proforma invoices. A configured customer portal supports actions such as changing a plan, renewing, updating payment details and downloading invoices; availability depends on the subscription setup.
Cleverbridge takes a share of transactions as the digital reseller. The quote reflects volume, payment mix, currencies and customer locations. Billing support, professional services and the B2B partner network are separately selectable additions.
