Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Stax Bill is a subscription billing and recurring revenue management platform. Its product covers subscription management (dynamic product and pricing catalog, custom hosted registration, self-service account portals, account hierarchies with shared parent payment methods and unified invoicing, custom tracking codes and multi-tenant support), recurring billing (automated lifecycle email communications, custom invoice templates, automated proration and scheduled price increases), payment collection (dunning automation, payment retry schedules, account updater for expired or deactivated cards, accounts-receivable aging reporting) and revenue recognition (multiple recognition methods including an ASC 606-compliant milestone module, backed by a general ledger, with more than 50 reports covering cash flow and revenue by product, plan or customer).

The platform also includes tax calculation at country and state level with optional advanced computation through integrations such as Avalara, compliant credit card surcharging that passes processing fees to end customers while offering debit as a no-fee option, and payment gateway options including Stax's own gateway supporting multiple payment methods (credit cards, ACH, PayPal and others) and currencies. Stax Bill positions itself around closing the "recurring revenue gap" — the difference between expected subscription revenue and revenue actually collected, caused by billing disputes, failed payments and subscription management friction. Marketing materials cite up to 80% less time spent on monthly billing, up to a 700% reduction in late or failed payments via card retry schedules, and recovery of 2%–4% of monthly earnings through automated collections tools.

Founding story

The co-founders saw firsthand in 2011 the difficulties large SaaS businesses faced managing recurring billing and set out to build a better approach, launching the company as Fusebill.

Business model

Software-as-a-service subscription sold to businesses that bill on a recurring basis, with an optional integrated payment gateway that can be added to a Stax Bill subscription.

Tiered flat-rate subscription pricing with no overage charges: a Growth plan starting at $499 per month billed annually for businesses with up to $85,000 in monthly billings, with all features included, and a custom-quoted Enterprise plan for larger customer bases and more complex subscription offerings. Additional fees apply for a dedicated implementation and support representative. Payment processing is available through the Stax Bill gateway.

Latest developments

The company now operates under the Stax Bill brand after joining Stax, and its billing product is offered alongside Stax Payments' in-person hardware, online checkout, embedded payments and mobile card readers.

Market position

Positioned as a comprehensive recurring billing and subscription management option that includes required features in a flat price rather than charging separately for them, combining accounting and payments expertise with automation across the customer lifecycle.

Emphasizes three claims: end-to-end automation from customer acquisition through payment collection with data synced back to accounting software; accounting and payments expertise reflected in general-ledger backing and ASC 606 revenue recognition; and inclusion of all features at a flat price with no overages, alongside compliant credit card surcharging and an integrated low-cost payment gateway.

Technology

A billing platform built on a general ledger foundation, providing accounting-grade tracking of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, ASC 606-compliant revenue recognition including a milestone module, automated proration and pricing schedules, dunning and retry logic, an account updater, tax calculation with integration options such as Avalara, an API with developer support, a white-label customer checkout portal, and integrations with accounting, CRM and other business systems.

Go-to-market

Sales-led: the website directs prospects to speak with sales representatives for both the Growth and Enterprise plans, supported by feature and product-overview content, customer testimonials and an integrations ecosystem. The product is also distributed as part of the broader Stax Payments platform.

Subscription and recurring-revenue businesses, including SaaS companies, ranging from smaller businesses billing up to $85,000 per month to enterprises with large customer bases and diverse subscription offerings. A named customer reference is PatientNow.

History

The business began under the name Fusebill, founded on the observation by its co-founders in 2011 that large SaaS businesses struggled with recurring billing. It subsequently served hundreds of companies with subscription management automation and later combined with Stax, rebranding as Stax Bill and operating as part of the Stax Payments platform.
