Subscription module - sustainable business which provides your customers convenience and flexibility
Subscription sales is one of the best models for e-commerce. It helps maximise revenue and increase satisfaction and loyalty. This module allows customers to regularly buy the products they need without having to place separate orders. For sellers, on the other hand, it gives the opportunity for a steady and predictable revenue.
To start subscription sales a shop must:
- Have active IdoPay card payments. Until now, IdoSell customers who sold abroad and used the IdoPay payment system could accept card payments in: PLN, EUR, CZK, USD and GBP. Now we have prepared a solution that completes this catalogue by 19 new currencies.
- Have appropriately adapted terms and conditions.
- Pass the verification of our risk department with regard to the requirements for subscription payments according to the card organisations' guidelines.
You can activate subscription sales from your shop panel.
Go to your IdoSell panel. In the menu on the left, select Administration/Subscription. Then click on the green button Submit shop for verification of requirements for subscription payments according to card organisations. We will contact you and help you meet the requirements needed to start subscription sales.
How do I start a subscription sale?
Check if subscription model is for you
If you sell merchandise in specific categories, consider whether there are some that customers order regularly. Products for which a subscription sales model would be a good option are, for example: hygiene products, dietary supplements, pet food, baby and children's items, contact lenses, cosmetics, feminine products, meal kits, vitamins. You can start with subscription sales of one type od goods and verify customer interest in such a feature on an ongoing basis.''
Stand out from the competition
An important issue in subscription sales is marketing and standing out from the competition. Consumers will be encouraged to take advantage of subscriptions by discounts - both percentage and amount-based.
Updated stock
When you decide to implement this sales model, prepare your inventory to handle more orders.
Enable subscription sales through the IdoSell panel
