ClickFunnels provides you with powerful marketing tools for selling subscriptions. It allows vendors to create multi-step funnels with high conversion rates. Suppose you market your subscription bundles on ClickFunnels and acquire interested customers. Now what? Who’s going to deal with the backend bundle and billing logic?

That’s where SubscriptionFlow makes its entry. Once you capture customers using ClickFunnels, SubscriptionFlow takes it from there. It activates automatic subscription management workflows, and ensures that your website visitors transition smoothly to paying customers.

In this blog, learn in detail how subscription management software assists you with the post-sign up bundle billing processes.

Why you need Subscription Management Software with ClickFunnels?

ClickFunnels is a marketing engine that facilitates businesses with the creation of effective sales tunnels. Businesses can establish websites, sign-up forms, landing pages, surveys and a lot more, and tie them all together into a single powerful tunnel. These tunnels then become their products’ marketplaces, and drive conversion.

But what ClickFunnels isn’t built for is subscription management. It only handles the front-end sales flow for you. Meaning, you definitely need a subscription management software for taking care of your back-end subscription logic.

Here’s what the partnership of ClickFunnels with subscription management platform unlocks:

Complex bundle logic

Advanced software like SubscriptionFlow lets you create product bundles, meaning, adding multiple products under one plan. Such logic isn’t supported by ClickFunnels which is more optimized for one-time product sales. Its checkout is also better suited to one-off sales, and not recurring payments.

When customers purchase a bundle, it means that they purchase more than one products together. And not to mention that these products need to be delivered to them on a recurring basis. Subscription management software also helps with managing inventory in this case.

It allows vendors to track all products within a bundle as a single unit, so they can confirm the availability of their entire bundles easily.

Automated recurring billing

After customers complete checkout, their subscription and billing cycles are activated. If they chose a monthly plan, the software auto-creates their monthly billing schedule, and then bills them right on time. Recurring billing involves a lot more than just payment collection.

Centralized data

Businesses get to have unified billing data in their subscription management software dashboards. They don’t need different tools to track and store their data for them. The software does it all. It presents businesses with a comprehensive list of their customers’ profiles. These profiles can be expanded to make access to latest customer data easy.

Reports and analytics

Subscription analytics that are essential for monitoring any business’s performance aren’t offered by ClickFunnels. But with subscription management software, it becomes possible to access them and generate reports based on them.

These analytics include subscribers’ renewal and churn rates, revenue according to the chosen billing cadences (such as MRR), customer lifetime value, etc. With these insights always in the business’s reach, it can form better marketing decisions, and implement them via ClickFunnels.

Payment failure management

Payment failures disrupt cash flow, and cause revenue leakage. Fortunately, subscription management software helps combat this issue as well. Smart platforms allow payment retries, send payment reminders, enable grace periods, and offer a lot more. These features are potent against failures, and increase payment success chances.

Multiple renewal options

You can employ a number of options to renew your customers’ subscription bundles. For example, automated renewals, one-click renewals and early renewals. Modern software comes with pause and skip a month’s order options too. These options reduce churn by discouraging cancellations, and encouraging renewal when feasible.

How SubscriptionFlow Powers ClickFunnels Subscription Bundles

SubscriptionFlow allows businesses to manage their subscription bundles without breaking a sweat. Here’s some of its reliable features that support the bundle subscriptions functionality, and make subscribers’ experiences more valuable.

1. Multiple bundle options

Businesses can set up a variety of bundles and tie them with unique billing cycles. Bundle types include fixed and hybrid bundles, and even fully customizable bundles. Fixed bundles contain the product assortment of the business’s choice.

Hybrid bundles have some items fixed, and some customizable or replaceable. And the fully customizable bundles do not place any fixed product restriction. They allow customers to fully personalize the type and amount of products in their subscription package.

You can beautifully display any subscription bundle product using ClickFunnels. So that customers can visualize what they receive with each bundle option.

2. Recurring billing & auto-renewals

SubscriptionFlow manages recurring billing automatically, so that no need for manual payment processes remains. It creates unified invoices for bundles that list all the products they contain. These invoices are mailed to customers automatically so that they can pay timely.

Alternatively, the system can also be used for automatic payment collection. In that case, invoices are sent to customers after payment confirmation as transaction receipts. When payments are secured, renewals are activated.

And when subscription bundles renew, it means that the chosen bundle items need to be packed and delivered all over again. For that, SubscriptionFlow creates fulfillment tasks as well, so that an order’s fulfillment spurs into action as soon as its payment is confirmed.

3. Upsell opportunities

ClickFunnels embeds smart upsell touchpoints throughout the sales funnel, where customers are encouraged to buy costlier plans. For instance, right after the customers complete their checkout. They can be given one-click upsell options, or options to buy more products alongside their existing plan.

Customers can also be shown premium product pop-ups at optimal timings, as well as attractive one-time offers. These tactics nudge them to spend more to receive more value.

SubscriptionFlow encourages upsells by making their implementation seamless. When customers switch to pricier tiers, or purchase one-time add-ons, it modifies their bills accordingly. Their billing cycles and service permissions are updated alongside their invoices. So that the customers’ transition to the higher plans is instant, and friction-free.

4. Customer portal

Each of your customers gets access to their own self-service portal. These portals ensure that customers generate fewer support tickets for you to deal with, and that they become capable of addressing their basic concerns themselves.

In a customer portal, a subscriber can view their active subscription plan, the subscription bundle in this case. They also get the option to change their plan. Using that, they can easily switch to a pricier plan or to a low-cost one.

Other than that, they can opt for pausing their subscription for a while too. Or use the skip-this-month’s-order feature. When they enable this option, SubscriptionFlow pauses their billing for the month, and resumes it in the next. Such options are retention-friendly, and allow customers to take a break without needing to cancel.

5. Checkout tailored to subscription bundles

ClickFunnels’ landing pages can be integrated with SubscriptionFlow checkout. This checkout’s specialty? It’s tailored for managing bundles. So when customers land the checkout page, they can view their entire cart there. They can also see all the items included in their subscription bundle.

If the bundle has been customized, customers can still edit it at the time of checkout. They can remove and add items to it, and can also replace the existing items with others offered by the business. SubscriptionFlow’s job? To adjust all bills in real-time.

Cart modifications at checkout call for billing modification as well. Customers are always charged accurate amounts, and after that, their onboarding flows are triggered in real-time.
