Subscription & Payments Gateway (SPGW)

Home › Expertise › Service Delivery › Subscription & Payments Gateway

Subscription and Payments Gateway is an innovative system that manages and accepts payments via mobile for premium subscription services and applies any restriction policies required by the user or operator. It can be very useful as part of an accomplished, scenario based, subscription and billing mechanism.

The general idea of SPGW is based on grouping each case according to specific billing groups in order to increase the efficiency of the system without limiting its usability and potential:

  • A billing request is triggered to SPGW for a User.
  • Billing Policy is loaded for User’s Carrier for triggering application.
  • The appropriate actions are chosen for User.
  • Billing initiated towards the User’s Carrier.
  • SPGW remains standby for a receipt and restart the process if nessecary.

The structure of SPGW allows the cooperation with a series of other systems helping significantly to error handling. The advanced reporting options that can be applied on each step of the billing procedure, simplify not only the statistical analysis of a service but the tracing procedure also:

  • Full handling of Internetq and 3rd party subscriptions and payments.
  • Possibility of applying many strategies in the same project, depending on subscription or receipt plan.
  • Expanded abbreviation use.
  • Carrier based handling of scenarios.

The characteristics embedded to SPGW provide wide compatibility with varying systems based on completely different technologies. This is essential in order to apply similar billing methods whenever needed. This, also, means that SPGW is an easily expandable system:

  • Fully integrated with other infrastructure.
  • Advanced connectivity with WEB and WAP sites.
  • Built-in text lists.
  • Fully plug-in compatible.

The benefits of Subscriptions and Payment Gateway, as derived from years of use in various projects with different requirements, are multiple and affect many aspects of each one. Perhaps, the stability is the most important one, concerning a billing system:

  • Easy transfer of user information to other systems, via plug-in.
  • Constraints support.
  • Automatic subscriptions break on carrier change.
  • Support of Single Payments, Event Based Payments and Subscriptions Policies.
  • Fully configurable.
  • Support of multinational, multilingual and multi-aggregator projects.
