Recurring payments make it easy for readers to maintain uninterrupted subscriptions and memberships while providing your newspaper with a more predictable revenue stream. Surf CMS supports recurring billing through compatible payment processors, allowing eligible subscriptions and memberships to renew automatically.
By reducing manual renewals and expired subscriptions, recurring payments help simplify account management for both your readers and your staff.

Offer plans that work best for your readers and your organization.
Secure Payment Processing
Surf CMS works with compatible payment processors that securely handle payment information and recurring billing transactions. Sensitive payment data is processed by the payment provider rather than being stored within the CMS.
Compatible Payment Processors Required
Recurring billing depends on the capabilities of your selected payment processor.
While Surf CMS supports recurring payment functionality, automatic renewals are only available when your payment gateway or merchant provider offers recurring or subscription billing services. Our team can help you determine whether your current payment processor supports these features or recommend compatible options.
Reduce Administrative Work
Automatic renewals reduce the number of manual invoices, renewal reminders, and expired accounts your staff must manage, allowing your team to spend more time serving readers and growing subscriptions.
