Reliable Subscriptions With PMPro and Stripe

There is no stronger foundation than Stripe’s world-class infrastructure—trusted by millions of businesses worldwide for their best-in-class payment solutions.

  • Fewer missed payments: Unlike our competitors, where your site has to request each charge, we let Stripe handle billing directly. This reduces the risk of lost revenue and involuntary churn through Stripe’s Smart Retries feature.
  • Automatic card updates: Stripe’s relationships with major card networks ensure expired cards are automatically replaced with updated card details, keeping payments flowing.
  • Get paid even if your site goes offline: Even if your site goes down, Stripe keeps billing your members without interruption. Plus, your subscriptions are portable, not locked into our platform.
  • Accurate reporting: You get all the benefits of Stripe’s native subscription KPI reporting, including churn, cancellations, and lifetime value.

PMPro and Stripe provide the reliability your membership business deserves—no downtime, no missed revenue.
