What it does
Selling subscriptions from a WordPress site often means stitching together a form, a payment step and a separate billing tool. This add-on for Ninja Forms closes that gap by connecting any form to Recurly. A visitor fills out the form, picks a plan and pays, and the subscription is created in Recurly. It works with recurring, one-time, usage-based and seat-based payments, so it can fit memberships, software seats or metered services. You need Ninja Forms installed for it to work.
Recurly handles the billing side once a customer signs up. It supports multiple payment gateways, calculates sales tax automatically and accounts for EU VAT rules. You can create as many plans as you need and let customers upgrade or downgrade. Renewals, reminders and other customer communication can run on automation. Recurly also carries PCI-DSS Level 1 certification, two-factor authentication and user role permissions. Developers get Recurly.js for customization, and analytics and reporting help you follow how your plans perform.
Best for
- Membership sites billing members on a recurring schedule
- Software or service businesses charging per seat or usage
- Ninja Forms users adding subscription sign-ups to forms
