How to Sell SaaS
Subscriptions

Everything you need to turn your SaaS product into a recurring revenue business. Subscriptions, billing, auth — all in one platform.

Then $1/mo for 3 months. No credit card required.

HOW IT WORKS

Get started in
5 steps.

01

Build your SaaS product

Start with a working product that solves a real problem. Your MVP should deliver clear value, even if it's not feature-complete. Focus on solving one problem exceptionally well before expanding.

02

Design your pricing tiers

Create 2-4 pricing tiers with clear value differentiation. Configure monthly and annual billing (with annual discounts). Set up free trials if appropriate for your product category.

03

Configure user authentication

Integrate RevnuAuth SDK to protect your app routes based on subscription status. Users get access when subscribed, lose access when churned — automatically.

04

Launch your checkout

Create your hosted checkout with subscription options. Revnu handles the entire billing lifecycle: charges, retries, upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations.

05

Monitor and optimize

Track MRR, churn rate, and conversion metrics. Use built-in analytics to understand customer behavior. Optimize pricing and features based on real data.

01

Subscription Billing

Monthly, annual, and custom billing cycles with automatic renewals, failed payment retries, and smart dunning to reduce involuntary churn.

02

RevnuAuth SDK

Protect app routes based on subscription status. Automatic access control — users get access when subscribed, lose it when they churn.

03

Self-Service Portal

Customers manage their own subscriptions: upgrade, downgrade, update payment methods, view invoices. Less support tickets for you.

04

Trial Management

Free trials with automatic conversion. Configure trial length, collect payment info upfront or later, and track trial-to-paid conversion rates.

PRO TIPS

Quick
wins.

01

Nail onboarding first

The first 7 days determine everything. Build clear pathways to your product's 'aha moment' before optimizing anything else.

02

Offer annual discounts

2 months free for annual plans. Better cash flow for you, commitment signal from customers, lower churn anxiety.

03

Three tiers is optimal

Confusing pricing kills conversions. Starter, Pro, Enterprise. Highlight the middle tier as 'Most Popular.'

04

Fix failed payments

20-40% of SaaS churn is involuntary. Automatic retries and dunning emails recover revenue while you sleep.

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions.

01

How do I handle free trials?

Revnu supports both trial-with-card (collect payment info upfront, charge after trial) and trial-without-card (collect later). Track trial conversions in analytics and optimize trial length based on data.

02

What about metered/usage-based billing?

Revnu supports usage-based billing through Stripe's metered billing. Track usage in your app, report to Stripe, and customers are billed based on actual consumption.

03

How do upgrades and downgrades work?

Customers can upgrade or downgrade through the self-service portal. Revnu handles proration automatically — customers pay or receive credit for the difference.

04

What happens when payments fail?

Revnu retries failed payments automatically with smart scheduling. Dunning emails notify customers. You can configure grace periods before access is revoked.

05

How does RevnuAuth work?

RevnuAuth SDK integrates into your app to verify subscription status. Protect routes based on plan tier, check feature access, and automatically handle expired subscriptions.

06

Can I offer annual discounts?

Yes. Configure both monthly and annual pricing with your preferred discount (typically 15-20%). Annual subscriptions improve cash flow and reduce churn.

07

What about enterprise customers?

For enterprise deals requiring custom pricing, invoicing, or contracts, you can handle these through Stripe's invoicing while using Revnu for self-service customers.

08

How do I migrate existing subscribers?

If you have existing Stripe subscriptions, Revnu can work with your existing Stripe account. For subscribers on other platforms, you'll need to migrate them to your new Revnu checkout.
