SaleorRecommendedpositive
“Yes, Saleor can be a good fit for a business that sells both subscriptions and one-time products, but you should expect to build or integrate the recurring billing functionality yourself.”
+ one-time purchase handling

“One-time purchases: Saleor handles these natively, including products, variants, checkout, orders, payments, discounts and inventory.”

+ headless commerce platform

“Saleor is primarily a headless commerce platform, not a subscription-management platform like Chargebee or Recurly.”

+ catalog and checkout capabilities

“Products · Variants · Customers · Orders · One-time checkout”

− no native subscription management

“Subscriptions: You can model subscription products and plans in Saleor, but recurring billing, renewals, payment retries and subscription lifecycle management require additional functionality.”

− requires integration for recurring billing

“You don't necessarily need to build everything from scratch. You can keep Saleor as your commerce backend and delegate recurring billing to a dedicated subscription provider.”

Stripe BillingRecommendedpositive
“I'd choose Saleor + Stripe Billing if:”
+ recurring charges

“Recurring charges | Stripe Billing / provider”

+ renewal scheduling

“Renewal scheduling | Subscription provider”

+ failed payment retries

“Failed payment retries | Subscription provider”

“Saleor is primarily a headless commerce platform, not a subscription-management platform like Chargebee or Recurly.”
