Services · Ecommerce development · Employee attendance subscription sites

Subscription websites that turn London attendance software trials into paying accounts.

Codeeo delivers employee attendance subscription website development London software companies use to sell their product online: a pricing page buyers trust, sign up with card or Direct Debit, plans billed per employee or per site, and invoices that finance teams accept first time. We build the commercial layer around your attendance product, so a hospitality group in Soho or a facilities contractor in Canary Wharf can choose a plan, pay and add staff without waiting for a sales call.

This page is about the website and billing platform that sells your software, not the clocking app itself. It covers how London buyers compare plans, approve spend and change headcount, and how your team keeps revenue, VAT and customer accounts in order.

Built for
Attendance, time tracking and workforce software companies selling to London employers, from early stage vendors in Shoreditch to established HR platforms.
Typical timeline
We agree scope, billing rules and integration points in discovery by video call, then write the release plan down before design begins.

What the subscription platform includes

The commercial parts a London attendance vendor needs before it can scale.

Selling attendance software in London rarely follows one path. A café owner in Hackney wants to pay by card tonight and invite twelve staff. A cleaning contractor with crews across the City and the West End wants a quote, a purchase order and an invoice on account. A law firm in Holborn will not sign until its security team has read your data processing terms. The platform has to serve all three without your engineers hand building every deal.

We design the pricing page, checkout, account area and billing logic together, because each one depends on how you count a billable employee. Below is what we usually build, in the order buyers meet it. You choose which parts go into the first release and which follow once revenue starts coming in. Everything is built to WCAG 2.2 so the pages also work for buyers using assistive technology, which matters under the Equality Act.

Explain your project
  • Pricing page with honest totals

    Plans laid out per employee, per site or per kiosk, with a calculator that shows what a buyer with forty hourly staff will actually pay. Business prices can sit clearly labelled before VAT; any plan a consumer could buy shows the full amount, because drip pricing rules under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 are already in force.

    Buyers see the real cost before they reach checkout.

  • Self serve sign up and SCA card checkout

    A short sign up that creates the company account, the first admin and the subscription in one pass. Card payments run through Strong Customer Authentication on the first charge, and later renewals are set up as merchant initiated payments so they do not keep asking the customer to approve.

    Small London employers can buy at any hour without talking to sales.

  • Direct Debit for annual and monthly accounts

    Bacs Direct Debit mandates collected online for customers who will not put a company card on file, with the advance notice the scheme expects before each collection and clear wording of the Direct Debit Guarantee.

    Lower failed payment rates on long running accounts.

  • Quote to subscription for larger deals

    Your sales team builds a quote with negotiated rates and terms, the buyer accepts it online, and the accepted quote becomes a live subscription with purchase order numbers carried onto every invoice.

    Enterprise deals enter billing without retyping.

  • Headcount changes and proration

    When a contractor wins a new building and adds sixty cleaners mid month, the platform calculates a prorated charge or credit and shows it before the change is confirmed. You decide whether seats bill on the day, at the next invoice, or on a true up.

    Billing follows the customer's real workforce, not last quarter's.

  • VAT invoices finance teams accept

    Invoices carry your VAT number, the customer's legal entity and registered office, sequential numbering, line items per plan and add on, and the VAT treatment applied. Records export cleanly to accounting software that supports Making Tax Digital.

    Fewer invoice queries from accounts payable.

  • Procurement and trust centre

    A downloadable pack for buyers in regulated sectors: your data processing agreement, sub processor list, hosting location, security summary and accessibility statement, gated behind a short request form so your team knows who is evaluating.

    Security reviews move faster and start with the right documents.

  • Dunning that protects clocking data

    Failed payment emails, card update links and grace periods, followed by a restricted mode that stops new features but never deletes attendance records the customer may need as evidence.

    Revenue is recovered without putting payroll records at risk.

  • Customer billing portal

    Admins download invoices, update payment details, switch between monthly and annual, add sites and cancel online. Every action is logged with who made it and when.

    Your support inbox stops handling routine billing requests.

  • Revenue reporting your board reads

    Monthly recurring revenue, expansion from added seats, contraction, churn by plan and failed payment recovery, pulled from the billing system rather than a spreadsheet. Investors in London often ask for these numbers in a set format, so we shape the dashboard around the metrics your next funding conversation will need, and keep the raw data exportable for your own analysis.

    One trusted source for revenue figures.

Who this is for

Four London vendors we build subscription platforms for.

London attendance software companies sell into very different employers, and the commercial site has to match the buyer. A platform aimed at independent restaurants needs card checkout and tight onboarding. One aimed at outsourcing firms needs quotes, account terms and multi entity billing. These are the situations we see most often, and each changes what we build first. Tell us which one sounds most like your business and we will start the discovery call from there, rather than from a generic feature list that ignores how your customers buy.

01

Seed stage vendors moving off manual invoicing

You have a working product and a handful of paying customers, but every subscription lives in a spreadsheet and invoices are written by hand. We put a pricing page, checkout and billing engine in place so new customers can buy without a founder sending payment links, and existing customers are migrated onto the same plans with their current terms honoured. Once this is in place, your monthly revenue figure stops being a guess.

Migration of existing customers is planned before launch, not after.

02

Platforms selling to hospitality and retail groups

Restaurant and bar groups across London open and close venues, swap managers and hire seasonally. Your site needs per venue pricing, quick addition of a new site, and billing that reflects staff numbers that rise sharply in December. We design plan rules and proration around that churn so the bill never surprises the finance director. Venue managers can be given rights to add staff without seeing the group's invoices.

03

Vendors serving facilities and security contractors

Contractors often run several companies under one group, each with its own VAT registration and client contracts. We set up parent and child accounts so the group sees one view while each company receives its own invoices, with contract references a client site manager can match against their own records.

04

HR suites adding attendance as a paid module

If attendance is one module inside a wider HR or payroll product, the website has to sell add ons cleanly. We build module level pricing, entitlement checks your product reads, and upgrade paths inside the account area, so a customer on core HR can add attendance for one office without a new contract.

How the subscription platform goes from plan to first renewal.

  1. 01Pricing model workshop by videoWe agree what counts as a billable unit, which plans exist, how add ons work and where business and consumer rules differ, before any screen is drawn.
  2. 02Buyer paths and page designPricing page, checkout, quote acceptance and account area designed for the London buyers you named, with accessibility checked against WCAG 2.2 at wireframe stage.
  3. 03Billing engine configurationPlans, proration, tax rules, dunning steps and invoice templates set up in your billing provider, with test customers that mirror real accounts.
  4. 04Product and finance integrationsEntitlements passed to your attendance product, revenue and invoices passed to accounting, and deals passed back to your CRM, each with error alerts.
  5. 05Payment and compliance testingSCA challenges, Direct Debit mandates, failed payments, refunds and cancellations exercised in test mode, alongside cookie consent and privacy notice checks.
  6. 06Launch and first billing cycleWe stay close through the first renewals, reconcile invoices against payments, and adjust dunning timing using what real customers do.

Technology

What we build this with.

We commonly work with Next.js or WordPress for the marketing site, Stripe, GoCardless or Chargebee for billing, and HubSpot, Salesforce, Xero or QuickBooks on the other side. The choice follows your product stack and who will maintain it. We document every configuration decision so a new hire on your side can understand why a plan behaves the way it does.

Questions London attendance vendors ask about subscription sites.

It depends on how many plans, payment methods and integrations go into the first release.

A focused release with a pricing page, card checkout and one billing provider moves much faster than a platform with quotes, Direct Debit, multi entity accounts and CRM sync. We map those choices in discovery, then commit to a written plan with milestones before design starts. If launch is tied to a funding round or a trade show, tell us early so the first release is cut to fit, with later features scheduled behind it. Integrations with your own product usually set the pace, so we agree early who on your side owns that work.
