Any subscription based use and checkout for a service or software. I personally use it to manage our client retainers and it does a good job at showing real time statistics on the dashboard. I have a large team and several project managers who access the dashboard including my own executive assistant so the security features for logins and access are a plus.

We moved from Quickbooks and integrated Zoho Subscriptions fairly easily. I believe this software is well suited for companies who find a need to manage many recurring or service add-on subscriptions. The payment portal is super easy to use and it is very easy to train others to use it fully.

Zoho [Subscriptions] is a lot easier to set up recurring payments and notifications than [Stripe] or [PayPal] alone. They offer notification reminders that will help manage clients, versus setting up an API [..] communication system [to] your own with the others. Clients have an easier time changing credit cards around in Zoho [Subscriptions,] whereas in Stripe and Paypal, you have a lot more manual work.
Thryv is [an] all in one [package] for both one time and recurring payments, which I prefer over Zoho [Subscriptions], without having to create new client files in each system; [Thryv] [...] also has notification options which is a time saver. Thryv can also send test email review requests after a trigger or an [invoice] has been paid, whereas you would have to create an API integration with another service to do so in Zoho [Subscriptions]. Overall, Zoho [Subscriptions] is a great system, for most of my personal clients logging into different systems for different needs. [In] addition to subscriptions, [this] is the downfall, but it [is] still a great option for many businesses.
