How it works

  1. 01

    Define products and plans

    In the dashboard, by API, or by asking the AI Assistant to "create a $99/month Pro plan with a 14-day trial".

  2. 02

    Subscribe customers

    Hosted checkout, payment links, or embedded components collect payment and start the subscription.

  3. 03

    Collect and recover

    Renewals run automatically. Failures trigger smart retries and dunning. Recovered revenue shows up in your reports.

Involuntary churn is a solvable problem

Roughly a third of subscription churn is involuntary: an expired card, an issuer decline, a hit credit limit. The customer wanted to stay. Platforms that retry on a fixed schedule and send one generic email lose most of that revenue. HL Hunt treats every failed renewal as a recovery case, timed per issuer behavior, with network account updaters pulling fresh card details automatically.

Because billing runs on the same ledger as payments and payouts, usage-based businesses can meter, bill, and pay out partners in one place. Marketplaces can bill sellers a subscription while splitting their sales. Platforms can bill customers in one currency and pay vendors in another.
