For Businesses Selling Their Own Subscriptions
Charge your customers
on a recurring basis — scoped honestly.
This page is for businesses that want to bill their own customers on a recurring basis — not our own pay-monthly plan, which is a separate subject at /monthly-website-subscription. We separate a public subscription-offer website, connection to a third-party billing provider, and a custom subscription application into three distinct scopes.
Prateeksha builds websites in Mumbai for businesses that charge their own customers on a recurring basis, across three distinct scopes: a public subscription-offer website, connection to an existing third-party billing provider such as Stripe, Shopify Subscriptions, or WooCommerce Subscriptions (confirmed during discovery, never assumed in advance), or a custom subscription application requiring separate discovery. Payment data should remain with an appropriate payment provider, not with Prateeksha, and we do not certify PCI or other regulatory compliance. This page is distinct from our own monthly website payment plan, covered separately at /monthly-website-subscription.
What this page is
A website for a business that charges its own customers on a recurring basis — covering a public subscription-offer site, connection to a third-party billing provider, or a custom subscription application.
What this page is not
Not our own pay-monthly plan — that's a separate subject at /monthly-website-subscription. Not a PCI certification, not a churn or revenue promise, and not a source of billing rules that only you and your advisors can approve.
Where 'subscription website' gets confusing
A subscription business gets treated as one default package, when it's really at least three different engagements.
- 01
Three scopes blurred into one
A public offer page, a billing-provider connection, and a custom application get quoted as if they were the same project.
- 02
PCI compliance misattributed
Builders sometimes claim their own "PCI-compliant security" — not accurate, since certification belongs to the payment provider, not to us.
- 03
Billing rules assumed, not approved
Taxes, refunds, trials, renewals, and cancellation notices decided by a website builder instead of the business and its own legal advisors.
- 04
Migration risk understated
"Safe" payment-data migration promised without a real mapping, consent, and rollback plan.
- 05
Outcomes implied by the build itself
Churn reduction or revenue growth implied by the website, when it actually depends on your offer, pricing, and operations.
What separating the scopes changes
Three genuinely different scopes, named honestly, so you commit to the right one.
We name the public subscription-offer site, third-party billing connection, and custom subscription application as three distinct engagements. Need a fully custom subscription application built? See our custom web application development page. Selling recurring products through a storefront instead? See our ecommerce service. Looking for gated member access rather than billing-first recurring payment? See our membership site page.
- A named, distinct scope — not a default "subscription package"
- Payment data stays with your chosen provider, never claimed as our own certification
- Billing rules approved by you and your advisors, not decided for you
- A real migration plan — mapping, consent, reconciliation, rollback, your acceptance
- Honest expectations about subscription outcomes, not a churn or revenue promise

Identify the real scope first, then build only what's needed.
The same honest sequence whether you land on a public offer page, a billing connection, or a custom application.
Discover
We ask what your subscription business actually needs to do before proposing a scope.
Name the scope
Public site, third-party billing connection, or custom application — named explicitly, not assumed.
Confirm billing rules
Taxes, refunds, trials, renewals, and cancellation notices confirmed with you and your advisors.
Plan migration, if needed
A real migration plan — mapping, consent, reconciliation, rollback, your acceptance.
Build, test & launch
Authentication and billing-state logic tested to the sensitivity of what you are protecting.
What changes
A default 'subscription package' vs. a scope chosen for your business.
Both can end in a working subscription website. The difference is whether you paid for — and got — the right one.
Choose your starting point
Three genuinely different scopes — pick the one that matches your business.
Naming the right scope upfront avoids paying for complexity you don't need, or under-scoping a project that does need a custom application.
Smallest scope
Public subscription-offer website
Information, pricing tiers, and sign-up links — no custom billing logic required.
- Subscription information & pricing pages
- Sign-up links to your chosen billing provider
- CMS access for content updates
- SEO foundations
Recommended
Third-party billing provider connection
Configuration and integration with an existing provider such as Stripe or Shopify Subscriptions, depending on your stack — never assumed in advance.
- Billing provider selection and configuration
- Payment data stays with your provider
- Migration planning, if needed
- Confirmed billing rules — taxes, refunds, renewals, cancellation
Separate scope
Custom subscription application
Bespoke authentication, entitlements, and billing-state logic — a distinct application project.
- Application discovery, separately scoped
- Custom authentication and authorization
- Entitlement and billing-state design
- See our custom web application development page
What's confirmed before any subscription engagement begins
A named scope
Public site, third-party billing connection, or custom application — stated explicitly, not defaulted.
Payment provider clarity
Your chosen payment provider handles payment data and PCI certification, stated plainly.
Approved billing rules
Taxes, refunds, renewals, trials, and cancellation notices confirmed by you and your advisors.
A real migration plan
Mapping, consent, reconciliation, rollback planning, and your acceptance — not a safety guess.
Access control matched to risk
Authentication and authorization for custom applications tested to what is actually being protected.
An honest scope statement
Clarity on which of the three scopes you are paying for, so expectations match reality.

FAQs
Subscription-based website development — frequently asked questions.
Straight answers on scope, payment providers, billing rules, and migration.
Looking for our own pay-monthly plan instead? That's a separate subject — see our monthly website subscription page.
No — that's a different subject. This page is for businesses that want to charge THEIR OWN customers on a recurring basis. If you're asking about how you pay us for your website, see our monthly website subscription page instead — that's a separate, distinct topic from what's covered here.
It isn't one product — we separate it into three real scopes: a public subscription-offer website (information, pricing, sign-up links), connection to an existing third-party billing provider such as Stripe, Shopify Subscriptions, or WooCommerce Subscriptions (confirmed during discovery, never assumed in advance), or a custom subscription application with its own authentication and entitlement logic. We help identify which one you actually need before quoting anything.
We won't promise that outcome. Subscription outcomes depend on demand, the value of your offer, pricing, service quality, operations, support, and your own retention practices — not the website alone. What we deliver is a properly scoped site, integration, or application; the business result depends on how you run the subscription.
Payment data should remain with an appropriate payment provider, not with us — PCI compliance is certified by that provider, not by Prateeksha. We connect to the payment provider you choose, but we do not certify PCI or any other regulatory compliance ourselves.
We won't claim a guaranteed working integration with Stripe, Shopify Subscriptions, or WooCommerce Subscriptions in advance. These are real options within the third-party-billing scope, but the right fit depends on your existing stack and requirements, and needs to be confirmed during discovery before we commit to a specific provider.
You do, with your own legal and business advisors — not us. Billing rules, applicable taxes, refunds, renewal behavior, trial periods, and cancellation notices require client-approved business and legal rules. We implement what you approve; we don't decide it for you.
We don't guarantee a safety figure. Migrating subscribers and payment data is a genuinely careful process — it requires mapping your existing data, handling consent correctly, reconciling records, and planning a rollback if something goes wrong, with your explicit acceptance before we consider it complete.
That's a distinct engagement with its own authentication, authorization, entitlement, and billing-state requirements — it needs separate discovery and testing, scoped on its own terms. See our custom web application development page for that specifically, rather than assuming it's bundled into a standard site build.
