Subscriptions

Create recurring billing links and track subscriber renewal cycles from the dashboard.

Subscriptions let you create reusable billing links for recurring payments. Each time a subscriber pays, payzum records the cycle and tracks when the next renewal is due.

How subscriptions work

A subscription link defines a recurring billing interval and an amount. Subscribers open the link each billing cycle to pay. payzum records each payment as a subscription invoice (invoice_type: subscription) and sends a renewal reminder email to the subscriber before the next due date.

payzum subscription links are reminder-based — they do not auto-charge a wallet. Subscribers receive an email with the payment link when renewal is approaching.

  1. Go to Merchants → [your merchant] → Subscriptions.
  2. Click + New subscription link.
  3. Enter a label, the billing amount, the billing interval (e.g. monthly), and the subscriber email.
  4. Save. The link is listed and ready to share.

Each subscription link tracks:

  • Subscriber email — used for renewal reminders.
  • Cycle — the billing interval (e.g. monthly, yearly).
  • Next renewal — the date the next payment is expected.

Viewing active subscribers

The Subscriptions list shows all subscription links for the merchant with their current status and next renewal date. Click into a subscription to see its payment history.

IPN handling

Completed subscription payments fire an IPN with invoice_type: "subscription". Use this in your webhook handler to extend access, issue a receipt, or trigger provisioning. See Payment IPN for the full payload.
