Services · Ecommerce development · Billing software subscription sites

Birmingham billing software, sold online to firms used to annual licences.

Codeeo provides subscription billing subscription website development Birmingham software companies use to sell recurring billing, invoicing and revenue tools to the West Midlands businesses they know best: manufacturers, suppliers, professional practices and multi-site service firms. The site turns a sales process built on quotes, annual licences and posted invoices into one where customers can choose a plan, sign a mandate or pay by card, and manage their subscription themselves, while larger buyers still get a quote and a purchase order route.

We work with Birmingham clients remotely, with discovery, design reviews and testing held by video call. Our team is 80+ people across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, with 200+ projects delivered across the UAE and the US and a 4.7 rating from 23 Google reviews.

What the site includes

Online plans for smaller buyers, quotes and terms for larger ones.

A lot of billing software sold from Birmingham goes to firms that have bought software the same way for years: a sales visit, a quote, an annual licence and an invoice with thirty day terms. Many of those customers now want to buy online, but not all of them, and not for every product. A small accountancy practice in the Jewellery Quarter may happily subscribe by card. A components supplier in the Black Country or a property manager with offices along Colmore Row will still want a quote with their own reference on it.

The website has to serve both without becoming two systems. We build published plans and self-serve checkout for the customers who want them, a quote to subscription route for those who need approval, and one account area where every customer sees their plan, invoices and payment method, however they bought. Everything connects to your billing engine and your accounting package, so the move to recurring revenue does not create a second admin process.

Explain your project
  • Quote to subscription

    Buyers request a quote from the pricing page, your team adjusts seats, sites or volumes and sends a branded quote with its own link. The customer accepts online, adds a purchase order number and chooses card, Direct Debit or invoice terms. The subscription starts automatically on acceptance, with no retyping between the CRM, the quote and the billing engine.

    Larger deals close without a manual handover to finance.

  • Published plans for smaller customers

    Clear plans for firms that want to start straight away, showing what each includes, the billing cycle and how VAT is applied. Annual prepayment is offered alongside monthly billing for customers whose budgets work that way, with the commitment stated plainly before payment so nothing feels hidden.

    Customers who never wanted a sales call can buy today.

  • Multi-site and group accounts

    A parent company with several sites, branches or subsidiaries can hold one account, add locations, and choose whether each site is invoiced separately or the group pays centrally. Users are assigned per site, and each site's usage appears on the right invoice. This suits groups spread across Birmingham, Solihull and the wider West Midlands.

    Group customers manage every site from one login.

  • Direct Debit, card and invoice terms

    Direct Debit through a Bacs provider for customers who want it, cards with Strong Customer Authentication at sign-up, and invoice payment with agreed terms for approved accounts. The site checks which methods each customer may use, so card only plans stay card only and credit terms are offered only where your finance team has approved them.

    Each customer pays in the way you agreed with them.

  • Migration from annual licences

    Existing licence customers move to subscriptions at their renewal date, not all at once. The site shows each one the plan that matches their current licence, the new billing cycle and any change in price, and lets them accept online. Your team sees who has moved, who has questions and who still needs a call.

    Your installed base moves over without a spike in support calls.

  • Billing integration services

    Our subscription billing billing integration services Birmingham clients use link the website and quote tool to your billing engine, CRM, accounting package and, where relevant, your customers' own procurement systems. Invoices, payments, credit notes and purchase order numbers flow through automatically, with alerts if any update fails.

    One record of every customer, quote and payment.

  • Customer account area

    Customers download VAT invoices, update payment details, add users or sites, change plans and see renewal dates. Mid-term changes are prorated by your rules and previewed before confirmation. Accounts payable contacts can be given invoice only access, so the finance office at a customer firm gets what it needs without full admin rights.

    Billing admin moves from your inbox to the customer's own screen.

  • Failed payment follow-up

    Card retries on a schedule you set, Direct Debit failures picked up from the Bacs provider's reports, and messages that send the right contact straight to the payment update screen. For group accounts, the central finance contact is told as well as the site manager, because they are usually the one who can fix it.

    Fewer accounts lapse over an expired card or a changed bank.

  • Renewals, reminders and cancellation

    Renewal notices before each annual term, reminders for expiring cards, and a clear online cancellation route. Where some customers are sole traders, consumer protections apply as well, including cooling-off and the subscription rules expected in 2027 under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. We build these as settings you can adjust.

    Renewals arrive with no surprises on either side.

  • Content, SEO and consent

    Sector pages for the industries you serve, integration pages and guides, edited in the CMS and built on fast templates with technical SEO and structured data. Cookie consent under PECR holds back non-essential tags, privacy notices match your UK GDPR position, and templates are tested against WCAG 2.2.

    Qualified visitors from search, on pages that meet UK rules.

Who this is for

Four Birmingham vendors and where each one starts.

Birmingham's software companies are spread across the Colmore Business District, the creative and digital cluster in Digbeth and a growing number of tech firms in the Jewellery Quarter, with others linked to the University of Birmingham, Aston University and Birmingham City University. Those selling billing tools often know one regional industry deeply. We shape subscription billing SaaS website development Birmingham vendors need around that industry's buying habits, and these four starting points come up most.

01

A vendor serving manufacturers and suppliers

Your customers make or move parts for the automotive and engineering supply chain across the West Midlands. They buy with purchase orders, expect thirty day terms and need invoices that match their own references. We lead with the quote to subscription route and invoice terms, then add self-serve plans for smaller workshops that would rather pay by Direct Debit and get on with their day. Sector pages speak the language of buyers in Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Coventry alike.

Purchase orders first, then self-serve.

02

A product for professional practices

Accountants, solicitors and surveyors around Colmore Row and the Jewellery Quarter use billing tools to charge their own clients on retainers or fixed fees. They will read your terms closely and want data handling explained. We put security information, data processing terms and clear plan limits on the site, and give practice managers an account area that handles users and invoices without a call.

03

A Digbeth team moving to self-serve

You built the product and sold the first customers through personal networks. Now you want strangers to sign up and pay without you. We build a focused first release: pricing, checkout, account area and help content, with plans editable in the CMS so you can adjust pricing as you learn which plan your Birmingham customers actually choose. Analytics with proper consent show which pages bring paying customers.

A small release you can learn from.

04

An established vendor replacing an old site

Your current site was built for leads, not for payments, and renewals still run on spreadsheets. We plan the move carefully: existing URLs redirected, licence customers moved to subscriptions at renewal, and payment details kept with your provider so nobody re-enters card numbers. Your support team sees each customer's migration status in one place.

How a Birmingham subscription site is planned and built.

  1. 01Discovery by videoWe map how each customer type buys today, from card sign-up to purchase order, along with plans, payment terms, tax, renewals and integrations, and write it into a scope your Birmingham team approves.
  2. 02Commercial rules written downWho may pay on invoice, when quotes need approval, how licences convert and how VAT appears, agreed with your finance lead and reviewed by your solicitor and accountant before design.
  3. 03Design for two ways of buyingPricing, quote acceptance, checkout and account screens designed so a workshop owner and a group finance manager can both finish without help, with accessibility checked in the designs.
  4. 04Build and integrateWebsite, quote tool, account area and connections to your billing engine, CRM and accounting package built in short cycles, each ending with a demo your team reviews and approves on a call.
  5. 05Test quotes, payments and taxQuotes, purchase order references, Direct Debit mandates, card authentication, proration, group billing, licence conversion and VAT cases tested in sandbox accounts, with every result recorded.
  6. 06Launch and convert the baseRedirects and consented analytics at launch, then licence customers moved to subscriptions group by group at renewal, with support and sales following progress on one dashboard.

Technology

What we build this with.

We fit the stack to your billing engine and your developers. Next.js with a headless CMS is a common choice, connected to Stripe Billing, Chargebee, GoCardless or your own platform, with quotes handled in your CRM or a dedicated quoting tool and hosting in a UK or EU region. Templates are built to pass Core Web Vitals on mobile, since many trade buyers first open your pricing page on a phone.

Questions Birmingham billing software vendors ask.

Mostly the quote rules, payment terms and integrations.

A site with published plans and card payment is the quicker build. Adding quote acceptance, purchase orders, invoice terms, group accounts and links to your CRM and accounting package each add time, and moving an existing licence base adds a planned migration. We give a written timeline after discovery and often release the pricing and checkout first, so sales can use them while the rest is built.
