SaaS (Software as a Service) is a business model where software is licensed on a subscription basis and centrally hosted (cloud-based). Payments for SaaS are typically handled via recurring billing (subscriptions) rather than one-time purchases.

FAQs:

  • How does SaaS billing work?
    It is usually automated monthly or annual billing using a saved credit card (e.g., Stripe Billing).
  • Why is SaaS popular for merchants?
    It provides predictable, recurring revenue (MRR – Monthly Recurring Revenue) and reduces the need to resell to the customer every month.
  • Can Charge for Stripe be used for SaaS?
    Yes, you can manage subscription plans and view SaaS metrics like MRR within the app if it connects to your Stripe data.
