We are currently building a website which includes a monthly subscription plan(s). We have a merchant account with Streamline and looking for a payment gateway.

We would like to use a billing management services but seems it's limited in the UK. I know there is Chargify.com, Plimus and CheddarGetter.com. But don't seem to support many UK payment gateways.

Anyone know of a management software and payment provider for UK?

Cheers

John

You could have a look at Spreedly for subscription management. They support a lot of payment gateways. – Alex - Aotea Studios Jun 8 '11 at 23:31

This came up recently as a topic on the BizSpark UK group

Here's the link if you have access - bizspark

Alternatively, here's a blog writeup about the discussion we had and some research that was done afterwards - Tim's blog

I do think there's a gap in the market for a UK company to do this at present - especially if they could take on lots of the hassle about e.g. VAT invoicing.

Stuart Cheers for you feedback the blog is excellent I am looking into SagePay now with recurly.com Seems to be a bit of a gap in the market for the UK. I will update on how we get on. – user8453 Mar 11 '11 at 10:16
Recurly.com a tad expensive also $69 pm and then 10 cents per transaction with this on top of payment gateway and then merchanct account fees works out a little expensive. Certainly room for a cheaper company in this market. – user8453 Mar 11 '11 at 10:24

We did the same research about 2 years for SnapExpense and landed on SecureTrading. Not too shabby. It works, it's secure and the support has been really great. What sucked (and might still suck) is that you can't run a dev/testing account in parallel with a live account. We had to develop it and then one day switch from dev to live as we deployed on the live server.
