Reduce Churn with One-Time Setup Fees for Subscriptions
Requiring a setup fee for subscriptions encourages subscribers to stay committed to your subscription service because they’ve made a small upfront investment.
You can easily customize the fee amount using WP Simple Pay’s Pre-built Subscription Payment Form with a Setup Fee. You can also use the plugin to add a setup fee that will charge the subscriber a smaller amount upfront before the initial recurring payment. This fee can be used to offset the cost of offering a free trial period.
Additionally, if you offer special services, you can charge subscribers for your personalized work to cover the extra costs.
Subscription payment forms with a setup fee allow you to provide your new subscribers transparency by itemizing the total amount due for the first subscription payment and then the recurring monthly amount.
