Subscriptions

Subscriptions Overview

Learn how you can use Coinflow to accept payments for subscription based services.

What is Coinflow Subscriptions?

Coinflow Subscriptions enables businesses to accept recurring crypto and fiat payments with automated billing cycles. Whether you’re running a SaaS platform, membership site, or content subscription service, Coinflow handles the entire payment lifecycle—from initial signup through recurring charges and cancellations—so you can focus on delivering value to subscribers.

How It Works

Coinflow manages the entire subscription lifecycle through a simple API or prebuilt UI. When a customer subscribes, we securely store their payment method and automatically charge them at your defined intervals. You receive webhook notifications for every subscription event, allowing you to provision access, send emails, or update your systems in real-time.

When to Use Subscriptions

Coinflow Subscriptions is ideal for businesses with recurring revenue models:

Perfect For
  • SaaS platforms with monthly/annual plans
  • Membership sites and exclusive communities
  • Content subscriptions (newsletters, courses, media)
  • Gaming season passes and battle passes
  • Premium features and tiered access models
  • Maintenance and support contracts
Not Recommended For
  • One-time purchases (use Checkout instead)
  • Variable-amount billing (use Invoicing instead)
  • Physical goods with recurring shipments (consider custom solution)

Unsure if subscriptions fit your use case?

If you need predictable recurring revenue with automated billing, subscriptions are the right choice. For one-time payments or variable amounts, explore our Checkout or Invoicing solutions instead.

Choose Your Implementation Approach

Select the integration method that best fits your development workflow:

Prebuilt Coinflow UI

Fastest time to market

Coinflow-hosted subscription flow with minimal code. Best for:

  • Teams wanting quick integration (1-2 days)
  • Businesses without dedicated frontend resources
  • Startups validating subscription models
  • Platforms preferring Coinflow-maintained UI

Integration time: Hours, not days

API Integration

Full control and customization

Build your own subscription experience using our API. Best for:

  • Custom subscription flows matching your brand
  • Complex subscription logic or plan structures
  • Existing checkout systems adding subscriptions
  • Teams with frontend development capacity

Integration time: 1-2 weeks for custom UI

Start with the UI, customize later

Most merchants begin with our prebuilt UI to validate their subscription offering, then migrate to API integration for custom experiences. Both approaches support the same features and payment methods.
