Subscription billing built for California's renewal law from day one.

Codeeo provides subscription billing software development Los Angeles brands use for streaming services, creator memberships, boutique fitness, beauty boxes and SaaS products. We build the system that signs customers up with valid consent, renews them on the right date, chases failed payments politely and lets them cancel online as California expects. The work includes the billing engine, account screens on web and mobile, and a back office for support and finance, all running in accounts you own.

California's Automatic Renewal Law is among the strictest in the country, and its July 2025 amendments added consent records, annual reminders and cancellation through the same channel a customer used to join. For a Los Angeles company, billing compliance is part of the product, not a legal footnote.

Built for
Media, creator, fitness, wellness, consumer goods and software companies in Los Angeles that charge customers on a recurring basis.
Typical timeline
Discovery ends with an agreed first release and a written delivery plan, shaped by your plan structure, migration size and the systems we connect.
What you own
Code, cloud account, billing database, consent records and processor relationships, all held by your company rather than by us.

Capabilities

The billing features Los Angeles subscription brands ask for.

Recurring revenue in Los Angeles skews toward consumers. Streaming and podcast networks around Burbank and Culver City, creator platforms and apps in Santa Monica, Venice and Playa Vista, studios and clubs in West Hollywood and Silver Lake, and direct to consumer brands shipping from warehouses across the county all bill people rather than procurement departments. That puts consent, reminders and cancellation at the center of the build. Plenty of these businesses also sell outside California, so the rules have to be applied per customer rather than switched on once. Teams who ask us for custom subscription billing software development Los Angeles regulators and auditors can follow usually have outgrown a plugin checkout. Our team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works remotely with Los Angeles clients, running discovery, design reviews and demos by video call. The features below are the ones that come up most.

Explain your project
  • Consent capture and evidence

    The checkout shows renewal terms clearly next to the purchase button, collects affirmative consent separately, and saves a snapshot of exactly what the customer saw, with time, device and plan. California now expects that proof to be kept for years, so the record lives in your own database and can be exported on request. When terms change, the new version is stored alongside the old, so every subscriber links to the wording they actually accepted.

    Proof of consent ready when a regulator, a court or a card network asks.

  • Online cancellation path

    Customers who joined online can cancel online, in the account area or the app, without calling anyone. Retention offers can appear, but the cancel button stays visible and the flow never loops. Confirmation arrives by email with the effective date and any remaining access. Cancellation reasons are captured in one optional question, which gives product teams real feedback without adding friction.

    Cancellations that close cleanly, with fewer disputes and chargebacks.

  • Reminder and notice scheduling

    Annual reminders covering billing frequency, amount and how to cancel, notices before a free trial converts to paid, and notices before a price increase go out on rules you set per state. Each message is logged against the subscription, so you can show it was sent.

    Every required notice sent, recorded and searchable.

  • Tiered memberships and creator plans

    Free, supporter and premium tiers, per creator subscriptions, bundles across several channels and gift memberships. Revenue shares to creators are calculated from settled payments, so payouts reflect money actually received rather than invoices raised. Creators can see subscriber counts and earnings by tier in their own dashboard.

    Creators paid correctly from real settlement data.

  • Class packs and studio memberships

    Unlimited monthly plans, class packs that expire, intro offers, freezes and late cancel fees for studios across Los Angeles. Booking and billing share one member record, so a member with an expired pack is prompted to renew before taking a spot. Instructors see who is booked and whether each member's plan covers that class.

    Classes booked only by members with a valid plan.

  • Box and replenishment commerce

    Skip a month, swap products, change ship dates and pause for travel, all from the account screen. Charges line up with fulfillment cutoffs at your warehouse, and shipping and handling are shown upfront as California's pricing rules expect.

    Fewer cancellations from customers who only wanted a break.

  • Payment recovery

    Retries timed to decline type, card updater services, Apple Pay and Google Pay as backup methods, and reminders in English or Spanish linking straight to a payment update screen. Access can step down gradually during a grace period instead of cutting off at the first failure. Collections dashboards show which recovery steps work best for each plan.

    Recovered renewals without aggressive messages.

  • Privacy controls under CCPA

    Subscriber data requests for access, deletion and correction, opt outs of sale and sharing, and honoring Global Privacy Control signals on your web properties. Billing records you must retain for tax and accounting are kept, everything else follows the request.

    Privacy requests handled through a workflow, not ad hoc email.

  • Usage and seat billing for software

    Not every Los Angeles subscription is consumer facing. Production software, ad tech and SaaS firms around Santa Monica and El Segundo bill business clients on seats, rendered minutes, API calls or storage. Metering counts each unit once, prorates mid-cycle changes and shows customers a live usage meter, while invoices carry purchase order numbers and net terms for larger accounts.

    B2B invoices that match what the customer's own team measured.

  • Finance and revenue reporting

    Invoices, refunds and deferred revenue post to your ledger, and dashboards show recurring revenue, trial conversion, churn by acquisition channel and recovery rates. Finance and marketing read the same figures, which ends arguments about whose churn number is right.

    One version of subscription revenue for every team.

Who this suits

Four Los Angeles teams we often work with.

Subscription billing software developers in Los Angeles meet the same tension again and again: marketing wants frictionless signup and creative offers, legal wants every term disclosed and every consent stored. The platform has to satisfy both without slowing either. The situations below are where that tension shows up most clearly, and where a tailored build pays back fastest. Each one leans on a different mix of the features above, so no two scopes look the same.

01

A streaming, podcast or media service

Monthly and annual plans, ad supported and ad free tiers, bundles with partners and in-app purchases through Apple and Google stores. We build one subscriber record that reconciles all channels, so a customer who joined on an iPhone and upgraded on the web is still one person in your reports, and cancellation works in whichever channel they used. Partner bundles, such as a plan included with a phone carrier or a hardware purchase, carry their own entitlement rules and reporting so you can settle with each partner accurately.

App store and web subscriptions reconciled in one place.

02

A creator or community platform

Fans subscribe to individual creators, creators expect transparent earnings and fast payouts, and the platform carries tax reporting duties for those payouts. We design tiers, payout calculation and the earnings dashboard together, with clear statements creators can check against their own records. Refunds and chargebacks reverse the right share automatically, so a disputed payment never leaves a creator overpaid or the platform out of pocket. Payout timing and minimum thresholds are settings, not code changes.

03

A studio or wellness brand with several locations

Yoga, pilates, cycling, recovery and med spa operators across Los Angeles sell memberships that combine booking and billing. If any service involves medical treatment, health information is handled under HIPAA and kept apart from marketing data. We build the member app and the front desk view on one platform. Members who visit a Santa Monica location on weekdays and a Pasadena one at weekends keep one membership, one card on file and one history.

Health data separated from billing and marketing data.

04

A consumer brand selling subscriptions nationwide

Beauty, supplements, coffee, pet food and apparel brands headquartered in Los Angeles ship to every state. That means sales tax nexus beyond California and renewal rules that vary by customer address. We connect a tax engine, apply notice rules by state and keep your storefront and subscription engine in step. Skips, swaps and pauses update inventory forecasts, so the warehouse plans for next month's boxes with real numbers.

Shopify storefronts can stay; billing logic moves behind them.

From first call to first clean renewal cycle.

  1. 01Offer and plan inventoryEvery plan, trial, bundle, promo code and retention offer you run or want to run, written down so legal, finance and marketing review the same list before anything is designed.
  2. 02Compliance review with counselCalifornia renewal rules, CCPA duties, pricing disclosure and the states where you sell, mapped to specific screens and messages with your lawyers.
  3. 03Experience designSignup, plan change and cancellation screens designed and tested on phones first, since most consumer subscribers join and leave on mobile.
  4. 04Engine and integration buildBilling logic, processor link, tax engine, ledger and CRM connections built sprint by sprint, each demonstrated over video call.
  5. 05Migration and soft launchExisting subscribers moved with their tokens and renewal dates, invoices compared against the old system, and a small cohort billed first.
  6. 06Measure and refineTrial conversion, involuntary churn, cancellation reasons and support load reviewed after launch to decide the next release.

What Los Angeles founders and finance leads ask us.

California's renewal and pricing rules, and a heavy consumer focus.

Most Los Angeles subscription businesses sell to individuals, which brings the Automatic Renewal Law, the CCPA and California's rules on showing the full price into every screen. Consent capture, reminders and cancellation need as much design attention as the payment flow itself. The local mix of media, creator and fitness models also means pricing structures are rarely simple. We plan for trials, bundles and partner deals in the first data model, because retrofitting them later is where billing systems usually break.
