AI subscription platforms built to UK consumer, tax and payment rules.

Codeeo carries out AI platform subscription website development UK companies need when selling AI products across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We build pricing pages, sign up and checkout, recurring and usage billing, VAT invoicing, cancellation and renewal flows, and the customer account area, designed around UK consumer law, UK GDPR, Strong Customer Authentication and the way British businesses prefer to pay. Getting these rules right in the platform itself is far cheaper than fixing them after a complaint or a regulator's letter.

Your AI product, models and interface remain entirely yours. Our job is the commercial platform around them: how prices are shown, how people pay and renew, how they leave, and how every transaction is recorded for HMRC and your own accounts.

Platform capabilities

Subscription features shaped by UK law and payment habits.

Selling AI by subscription in the UK means meeting several sets of rules at once. Consumer law governs how prices are displayed, how renewals are communicated and how people cancel. Tax law decides what goes on an invoice and how records are kept. Payment regulation sets when a customer must authenticate. Data protection law shapes what you collect and how long you keep it, and accessibility law applies to the checkout as much as to any other page. None of these is unusual on its own, but an AI platform touches all of them, often with consumers and businesses on the same site. The capabilities below are the ones we build for UK-wide platforms, each designed so that a compliance question can be answered by pointing to how the system behaves rather than to a policy document nobody follows.

Explain your project
  • Full upfront pricing

    Since April 2025 the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 has banned drip pricing, so any mandatory charge must be included in the price shown from the start. Plan pages show total prices, VAT inclusive for consumers, and checkout never adds a compulsory fee that was not visible before.

    Prices that meet the drip pricing ban on every page.

  • Renewal reminders and easy exit

    The Act's subscription contracts regime, expected to begin in 2027, will require clear pre-contract information, reminder notices before renewals and the end of introductory periods, and a straightforward way to leave. We build those notices and a short online cancel route now, with delivery logged, so the platform is ready when the rules start.

    No rebuild needed when the subscription rules take effect.

  • Consumer cancellation rights

    Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, individuals buying digital services usually have a cancellation period. Checkout captures a consumer's express request to begin immediately and their acknowledgement of how that affects cancellation, and the refund logic calculates any proportionate charge for use already made.

    Refund decisions backed by a clear record of what the customer agreed.

  • UK payment rails

    Card payments with Strong Customer Authentication on sign up and merchant initiated renewals afterwards, Apple Pay and Google Pay for individuals, Bacs Direct Debit for businesses, and Open Banking pay by bank for one-off credit top ups where your provider offers it. Each method has its own retry and notice rules built in.

    Customers pay the way they prefer, and renewals rarely bounce.

  • VAT, Making Tax Digital and e-invoicing readiness

    VAT invoices with the details HMRC requires, credit notes, reverse charge wording for overseas businesses and records synced to accounting software that supports Making Tax Digital. The government has announced mandatory e-invoicing for business VAT invoices from April 2029, so invoice data is kept structured for that change.

    Tax records that are correct now and ready for what HMRC plans next.

  • Company disclosures and legal pages

    UK companies must show their registered name, number and registered office on their website and order forms. We place those details correctly, link terms, privacy and cookie notices at the right points of checkout, and version every set of terms so you know which wording each subscriber accepted.

    A clear audit trail of what each customer agreed to and when.

  • Privacy and consent by design

    Billing data is kept to what is needed, separate from prompts and content processed by your AI. Cookie consent follows PECR, with the banner built to adapt as the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 eases consent for certain low-risk analytics. Retention periods and processor lists are documented for your ICO records.

    Privacy notices that describe what the platform really does.

  • Accessible checkout and account area

    Pricing tables, forms, error messages and the account console built to WCAG 2.2 AA, tested with keyboard and screen readers. The Equality Act expects reasonable adjustments from service providers, and an inaccessible checkout simply loses paying customers.

    Every subscriber can sign up, pay and cancel without help.

  • Welsh language and four-nation content

    Optional Welsh versions of pricing, onboarding and account pages for products selling to Welsh public bodies or consumers, and terms reviewed for customers in Scotland, where contract law and court procedure differ from England and Wales, and Northern Ireland.

    A platform that works for buyers in every part of the UK.

  • Public sector purchasing

    Councils, NHS bodies and universities often buy through frameworks such as G-Cloud and pay against purchase orders. The platform supports invoiced accounts with PO references, longer payment terms, named finance contacts and usage reports that can be attached to an internal approval.

    Public sector buyers onboard without a manual workaround.

Who it is for

Four kinds of UK AI business we work with.

A UK-wide platform has to serve buyers in very different places, from consumers on their phones to finance teams in councils and multi-site firms. Some clients need AI platform SaaS website development UK buyers will recognise as credible; others need AI platform subscription platform development UK regulators and auditors could examine without concern. We also provide AI platform billing integration services UK teams use to fix an existing setup. Because our team works remotely, every engagement runs by video call, which suits companies whose own staff are spread across the country.

01

Consumer AI apps sold by subscription

Writing assistants, study tools, photo and voice products sold to individuals carry the heaviest consumer law duties. We focus on transparent pricing, cancellation rights, renewal reminders and a cancel route that takes a minute. Age assurance and parental controls can be added where your product is likely to be used by children and your own legal advice says it is needed.

Consumer rules built into the checkout, not added later.

02

B2B platforms selling across regions

You sell to businesses from Cornwall to Aberdeen, through direct sign up and a sales team. You need card and Direct Debit, invoiced terms for larger accounts, multi-site customers, regional sales reporting and VAT handled consistently. We build one billing platform that serves all of them, with reports split by region and channel. Regional sales managers see their own pipeline and renewals, while finance keeps a single national view of revenue and collections.

One platform for self-serve and sales-led customers nationwide.

03

Suppliers to the public sector

Your AI tool helps councils, NHS organisations or universities with documents, enquiries or analysis. These buyers expect invoices, purchase orders, accessible interfaces and clear data handling. We shape the subscription platform around procurement realities so that a framework award turns into live billing quickly.

Billing that matches how public bodies buy.

04

Overseas AI companies entering the UK

A company based outside the UK selling digital services to UK consumers usually has to register for UK VAT from its first sale. We set up sterling pricing, UK VAT invoicing, UK payment methods and consumer law flows, either alongside your existing billing or as a UK-specific configuration, with your tax adviser confirming the registration route.

A UK launch that respects British tax and consumer rules.

UK subscription questions

The cost depends on customer types, payment rails and migration, so we price after discovery.

A business-only platform with a few plans and card checkout sits at the simpler end. Selling to consumers adds cancellation, refund and reminder flows. Usage metering, Direct Debit, invoiced public sector accounts, Welsh content, multi-site customers and migrating existing subscribers each add work, as do accounting and CRM integrations. After discovery we provide an itemised quote showing what each element contributes, so you can decide what launches first and what follows in a later phase.
