The subscription business model continues to flourish, from media and utilities to SaaS and digital services. This business model appeals to both enterprises and customers due to the steady cash flow and convenience that recurring payments offer.

Recurring payments allow subscription businesses to receive payments regularly and alleviate headaches associated with payment delays, while customers can "set it and forget it" with their credit card or alternate payment method.
