Core Features

  • Subscription plans: tiers, add-ons, discounts, and pricing rules.
  • Recurring billing automation: invoices, reminders, retries (as configured).
  • Proration: accurate mid-cycle changes for upgrades/downgrades.
  • Customer portal: payment method updates and plan management (where available).
  • Revenue reporting: MRR, churn, renewals, cohort analysis.
  • Zoho integrations: connect to Books/CRM for lifecycle reporting and finance ops.

Implementation note: We tailor roles, approvals, automations, and integrations so this tool fits your real finance operations—not a generic setup.

We configure Zoho Billing with governance controls around plan changes, discounts, and payment operations to keep billing accurate and auditable.

  • Role separation: control who can change plans, apply discounts, or adjust invoices.
  • Auditability: visibility into renewals, proration, cancellations, and edits.
  • Authentication: MFA/SSO options depending on plan.
  • Secure integrations: scoped sync to Books/CRM with documented mapping.
  • Process discipline: standardized renewal and dunning workflows.
