Renewals and the card on file
Stripe and the other card providers run recurring charges on their side. The same subscribe button starts them.

Coming from Paddle?
Sell subscriptions from your own pricing page with the payment provider you choose. Pro includes 500 sales, including new subscription signups, for $24 a month. Extra sales cost 2¢ or less each, and later renewals add no Coin Moebius charge. Your provider’s fees are separate.
The machine Paddle runs
Global tax compliance is the headline, and underneath it Paddle runs subscription operations: retrying failed renewals, sending payment reminders, issuing invoices, and writing quotes for business deals. If you lean on all of that, you are getting a billing department for the money. The trouble is that most of what you are billed for is machinery you never touch.
Why operators step off
Five percent is charged on revenue, not profit, so the bill grows every quarter you succeed and it is taken off the top. Your customers live in Paddle's records rather than yours, which means the relationship you built is on loan. Crypto is not allowed. Founders tend to leave the moment they price that convenience against a flat fee.
What stays the same
You still get subscriptions without writing billing code. A buyer clicks subscribe, renewals run on their own, and you can see who is active. Neither tool asks you to build that machinery yourself.
Still never yours to build
Leaving the managed service does not mean writing billing code yourself. The payment provider you connect does that work.
The cancellation page
Buyers manage and cancel their plans in the provider's hosted portal, such as the Stripe Customer Portal. You link to it, and you never have to build it.
The ledger of who is active
Subscription events land in your dashboard feed, so your product can check one status to decide who gets access.
What Coin Moebius brings to your shop
What you gain
- Your customer relationships back, inside a payment provider in your own name.
- On Pro, a $5 sale and a $500 sale count the same. Raising your prices doesn’t increase your Coin Moebius charge per sale. Your payment provider’s fees are separate.
- Crypto and pay-by-mail options that Paddle does not allow.
- Renewals and a customer portal run by your provider, still with no billing code.
What changes when you switch
- Choose a supported provider for your subscription billing and tax services. Coin Moebius connects its checkout to your site and brings subscription status into your dashboard.
- Their billing operations desk: managed recovery, invoicing, and quotes for business deals. Your provider still retries failed charges on its own.
How to make the move
- Open an account with a card payment provider. Stripe is the usual choice, and the account is in your name.
- Create a project, connect the account, add your plans as monthly or annual products.
- Put the subscribe button on your pricing page and walk the flow in test mode.
- Send new signups through the button. Existing Paddle subscriptions keep billing on Paddle until they end.
- Invite existing subscribers across by email, and retire the old plans as they wind down.
Subscription moves are gradual by nature. Running both systems while the old one winds down is normal, not a sign that something went wrong.
