Ask HN: SaaS to sell physical subscriptions online?

1 points by tucaz ↗ HN
Hi!

I'm starting a physical subscription service and I need a SaaS to manage that. I'm using WordPress for the main website so content management is not a requirement.

Is there a company that:

1. Integrates with PayPal 2. Allows the user to register and update custom defined fields 3. Charge recurring payments every month 4. Let me know of new sign-ups/cancel

I looked into WordPress plugins, but they are all expensive and too much for my needs. I want something zero friction. Is there such a thing?

Thanks!

How expensive are the WordPress plugins?

There's a Shopify Plugin for $20/month https://apps.shopify.com/shopify-recurring-payments (plus whatever Shopify and the payment provider charges).

My subscription will be around 3USD/month so I'm very price sensitive. All the plugins I found where on the 100USD/month range.

I am testing this idea so looking for cheap stuff at the beginning.

EDIT: Just tested this plugin and it doesn't work with my country (Brazil)
