Magento 2 is missing a key piece of functionality that is required by any company with a business model based on subscriptions. Recurring Profiles do not exist in Magento 2, and it’s a monstrous gap and an upgrade killer for websites that use them. Yes, there are subscriptions services which will eventually be Magento 2 ready; but as of this writing, none exist yet.
Even after the subscription services catch up, there will be two major drawbacks. First, you’ll have to pay for the service as long as you are offering subscriptions. Many of these are based on a monthly cost, a per transaction cost and possibly a percentage of each sale.
The second drawback to a subscription service is your customer. Or, is it their customer? Who owns the gateway account that a customer is attached to? Even if you have all of the contact info for a customer, by not controlling the gateway account and associated customer tokens, you will have no way of leaving the subscription service without losing all of your most profitable customers.
We created Adaptive Subscriptions for Magento 2 so you can own your customers.
Our extension does not require use of a subscription service and works with both Magento 2 Enterprise Edition and Magento 2 Community Edition.
After purchasing Adaptive Subscriptions and a TokenBase payment method, there are no fees or transaction costs outside of normal gateway fees.
You own your customers.
ROI is easy to calculate. Since there are no fee’s for SaaS, you only pay for the price of the extension. Considering the price of the extension compared to the cost of most SaaS solutions, you will see an ROI of between 2 and 5 months.
Adaptive Subscriptions goes far beyond the Recurring Profile functionality included in Magento 1. We removed many of the limitations that plagued Magento 1’s Recurring Profiles and found a way to provide you solution for many common shortcomings.
- Don’t feel like entering 3 different products with different subscription lengths?
- Multiple products in the cart at once?
- Allowing each product in the cart to have its own subscription frequency including a single purchase?
- Live shipping quotes on each iteration of a subscription?
- All shipping methods supported?
- Subscriptions for Simple, Virtual, Configurable and Downloadable products?
- Coupons or discounts for the initial order?
- Notify an admin when a subscription fails?
- Notify a customer if they have invalid payment info?
- Obey Magento’s stock handling?
- Automatic or Manual control over when subscriptions bill?
- Change billing dates and frequency of each subscription from the admin?
- Allow customers to view their subscriptions along with status and allow them to update billing and shipping info?
- Adaptive subscriptions can handle all of this and more.
Of course, some limitations exist, but they are centered around what we haven’t yet implemented. Adaptive Subscriptions requires a payment method built upon our proprietary TokenBase platform. Right now, that’s ParadoxLabs Authorze.Net CIM for Magento 2
Adaptive Subscriptions requires the customer to register for an account on the store. It is also subject to Magento 2’s checkout validation which means order totals must be greater than $0. Other limitations include multi-currency support and multi-lingual support.
We’ve designed Adaptive Subscriptions to be flexible and extensible. We built a system that is easy to modify and fit to use cases we haven’t thought of.
The most important thing that defines our Adaptive Subscriptions extension is support. We take care of our customers. We don’t ask that you purchase support for an extension update. They come with the purchase of the extension. We release all bug fixes and updates of our extensions for the life of the extension. We’re here for you.
