Billing and checkout for New York document software sold to demanding buyers.

Codeeo delivers document management subscription website development New York software companies use to sell plans to law firms, insurers, property managers and agencies without stalling every deal in procurement. We build pricing and plan pages, checkout, annual and monthly billing, New York sales tax by user location, renewal terms that meet state law, and a portal where clients manage seats, storage and invoices. The goal is simple: a buyer in Midtown should be able to subscribe, expand and renew without emailing your finance team.

The document repository is your product. Our work is the revenue layer wrapped around it. We work with New York clients remotely, and discovery, design reviews and acceptance testing all happen by video call with your product, finance and legal leads. Nothing in the commercial layer locks you to us; your team can run it after handover.

Inside the subscription site

Document management SaaS website development New York buyers trust with their files.

New York buyers of document software are often regulated, careful and busy. A firm in the Financial District may need a security review before it pays a cent. A Flatiron agency wants to add five seats on a Friday without a call. A Brooklyn property manager pays by ACH and needs each building on its own invoice line. The state adds its own layer: remotely accessed prewritten software is generally taxable here, sourced to where users are, and the General Business Law sets rules on automatic renewals and online cancellation. The site has to carry all of that quietly. These are the parts we build, chosen and ordered for how New York customers buy. Each item below can be phased, so the first release covers what blocks sales today.

Explain your project
  • Vendor review pack before checkout

    A trust center with security practices, data location, subprocessors, encryption, backup and retention details, plus a gated request form for your full questionnaire answers or reports. Buyers covered by the NYDFS cybersecurity regulation must assess third party providers, and this gives them what they need without a dozen emails. Your sales team gets an alert when a large prospect requests the full pack.

    Security review moves alongside the trial rather than after it.

  • New York sales tax by user location

    New York generally taxes prewritten software accessed remotely, and the rate depends on where users are, with New York City carrying its own local share. Customers with users in several places can supply an allocation, and the tax engine applies it to each invoice and stores the evidence. Exemption certificates from nonprofits and schools are stored with each account.

    Invoices that survive a sales tax audit.

  • Renewal terms under General Business Law

    Automatic renewal terms shown clearly before purchase, affirmative consent captured, an acknowledgment emailed with the cancellation method, and notice before a price increase. Customers who subscribed online can end the plan online, as New York's renewal statute expects. Consent records keep the exact wording each buyer saw on the day.

    Renewals that hold up if a customer complains.

  • Seat, storage and matter based plans

    Pricing can combine users, storage, client matters or properties, and features such as ethical walls, legal hold or external portals. A law firm can buy per lawyer while giving paralegals lighter seats, and a property manager can buy per building portfolio. Comparison tables use the same names your product uses, so nothing is lost in translation.

    Plans that read naturally to each type of New York buyer.

  • ACH, cards and wallets

    Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay for quick self serve sign ups, plus ACH debit and invoice payment for firms that avoid cards. Hosted payment fields keep card numbers off your servers, which keeps PCI DSS scope narrow. Receipts and failed payment notices go to the billing contact, not every user.

    Each buyer pays the way their controller prefers.

  • Invoices split by office or client

    Invoices can show separate lines per office, practice group, building or client account, with purchase order numbers and billing addresses for each. Firms that pass software costs to clients can export usage per matter to back up their own bills. Credits and refunds appear on the same layout so reconciliation stays simple.

    Accounts payable approves without sending invoices back.

  • Self serve plan changes

    Admins add or remove seats, buy storage, switch from monthly to annual and update billing contacts in the portal. Upgrades are prorated immediately, while downgrades take effect at the next renewal so a firm never loses access mid-matter. Every change is logged with the admin who made it, which helps when a partner questions a bill.

    Expansion that does not need a sales call.

  • Breach ready customer data handling

    The SHIELD Act requires reasonable safeguards for private information of New York residents. We limit what the billing site stores, encrypt it, log admin access and document where billing data lives, so your incident plan has accurate facts if something goes wrong. Retention of billing records follows your tax obligations, and nothing else is kept longer than needed.

    Less personal data held, and every copy accounted for.

  • Dunning that protects access to records

    Failed payments trigger retries, reminder emails and admin banners. During the grace period, files stay readable and downloadable; only new uploads pause, and deletion follows your published retention terms after clear notice. Admins see each stage clearly, and support can see what the customer was told.

    Payment problems never turn into lost client files.

  • Accessible pricing and portal

    Plan tables, forms, consent boxes and the billing portal are built to WCAG 2.2 AA, with keyboard access, labelled fields and clear error messages. Website accessibility claims under the ADA are filed often in New York federal courts, and an accessible checkout also converts better for every buyer.

    Fewer accessibility complaints and fewer abandoned checkouts.

Who this is for

Four New York starting points.

Document software companies in New York come to us with different pressures. Some are being slowed by enterprise procurement. Some sell to small firms and need self serve. Some are expanding from one vertical into another. Some have outgrown the billing setup they launched with. Each one changes what the first release should contain, and we decide that together before writing the scope. In New York the deciding factor is often who signs off on the purchase: a partner, a controller, a board or a team lead.

01

Vendors selling to law firms and legal departments

Legal buyers in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan ask about confidentiality, ethical walls and legal holds before they look at price. We build plan gates for those features, matter based billing where it fits, and a portal where a firm administrator controls seats without seeing client content they are not cleared for. Annual prepaid plans with invoice billing match how most firms budget.

Confidentiality questions come first, price second.

02

Platforms for insurers, lenders and financial firms

Buyers regulated by the Department of Financial Services must assess the security of their vendors. We put the evidence they ask for on the site, add a quote and order form flow for annual contracts, and keep a self serve plan for smaller brokers and agencies that can buy on a card. Order forms and online signature close annual deals without printing anything.

03

Property and real estate records software

Managers of co-ops, condos and rental buildings across the five boroughs keep leases, board packages and inspection records. We price by building or unit count, split invoices per property, and let managing agents run several client portfolios under one login with separate billing for each. Board packages and lease files stay with each building when a portfolio changes hands.

Per building billing is common and easy to get wrong.

04

Agencies, publishers and creative firms

Media and agency teams in Flatiron, SoHo and DUMBO buy quickly and change headcount often. They need monthly plans, fast seat changes, simple invoices and a checkout that works in two minutes. We focus the build on conversion and expansion rather than procurement paperwork. Monthly seat reports help agency finance teams pass costs to client accounts.

How the build runs, in six stages.

  1. 01Discovery with finance and counselWe review your pricing, contracts, renewal terms, tax position and buyer requirements by video call, agree which features belong in the first release, and note what can wait.
  2. 02Pricing and portal designPlans, comparison table, checkout, trust center and portal are designed and prototyped, then reviewed with a few real customers before any build starts.
  3. 03Billing, tax and consent setupBilling provider, New York tax rules, allocation handling, renewal disclosures and consent logs configured in your accounts and tested with simulated renewals.
  4. 04Product and finance linksPlan limits flow to your document platform through its API, and invoices, payments and credits flow to your accounting system and CRM.
  5. 05Acceptance testingYour team signs off each scenario: new sign up, ACH payment, seat change, allocation invoice, failed payment, cancellation and data export.
  6. 06Launch and iterationGo live with monitoring, then monthly reviews of conversion, failed payments and renewal results that shape the next changes.

Technology

What we build this with.

We pair a billing provider such as Stripe Billing, Chargebee or Recurly with a tax engine that supports user allocation, a consent log, and a front end your developers can extend. We document every setting so a future finance hire can understand it quickly.

What New York document software vendors ask us.

Your price list, contracts and the product's plan limits.

Bring your current plans and any custom deals, your standard subscription agreement and renewal terms, a list of existing subscribers, the billing and accounting tools you use, and documentation for your product API. If you have answered security questionnaires before, share those too. With that, discovery is short and the scope is accurate. We also ask for any complaints or disputes from the past year, since they often reveal where billing confuses customers.
