Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zoho Billing as the core billing system for our B2B product, including subscription management, invoicing, and handling payments from our online store. The main reason we selected it is the tight integration with the rest of the Zoho ecosystem, since we run Zoho One across our organization for sales and support.

Pros

  • Integrating with other ZoHo modules
  • Pricing

Cons

  • Google Analtics integration broken

Return on Investment

  • Struggling to run ads since it's tricky to track sales in GA

  • Notifications to billing team members and customers.
  • Automated recurring billing.
  • Simple reports.
  • Easy to manage customer database, credit card info, etc.

Cons

  • [It would] be nice to have one time payment options as a [add-on]. We also develop [websites] and needed one or two time invoices, [but] had to get Zoho [Books Subscription] as well, and [we] didn't use it often.
  • [The customer] login portal didn't work very well. [My] customers ended up calling me most of the time to change their card info.
  • It would be nice to integrate with a standard credit card processing company, other than Stripe or PayPal so one can take advantage of pricing once you hit a certain amount of charges every month.
  • At the time, I couldn't archive a customer and delete their subscription package. It would be nice to have a way to do so.

Automated Recurring Transactions at its finest.

Pros

  • Taking payments automatically. Once you set up your product billing cycles and assign them to a customer, it's all automatic from there.
  • Integrations with other Zoho products, We enter our customers in Zoho CRM and they are always updated in subscriptions and books is always showing the correct payments collected.

Cons

  • Declined payments, there wasn't a big alarm that went off automatically when a payment was declined. I have set up different notifications when this happens in the future though.

Return on Investment

  • We no longer worry about missing payments or tracking the rental program.
