Subscription Genius overview

What is Subscription Genius?

Subscription Genius is an online subscription and mailing list management tool for publishers, which offers tools for tracking and managing subscribers, setting up a website paywall, processing payments and configuring recurring payments, creating a custom branded eCommerce portal, launching email marketing campaigns, and more. Subscription Genius is a fully cloud-based solution which allows businesses to automate daily processes from subscriber checkout to subscription renewals.

Businesses can utilize Subscription Genius to track, manage, and maintain subscriptions, with tools for tracking the start date of subscriptions, viewing payments, and accessing a full subscriber database with individual customer profiles. Users can create a custom branded eCommerce portal to facilitate subscription purchase, and this can be integrated with existing checkout systems and payment processors such as Authorize.Net and PayPal to manage secure payments. Subscription Genius also offers the tools to define promotions, run automatic renewals, and organize competitions for website visitors.

With Subscription Genius, publishers can set up paywalls to limit access to certain areas of the publication website to only paying subscribers. Website visitors who want to view restricted content are then required to pay for a subscription in order to fully access all content, and businesses are able to gather insights on how subscribers are interacting with the content. The Subscription Genius big data tools allow users to analyze the customer journey and identify their most engaged subscribers, as well as those who are at risk of unsubscribing. Marketing campaigns can be created and scheduled within the Subscription Genius platform, and businesses can create customer segments and target visitors with personalized content relating to their behavior or demographic.

Key benefits of using Subscription Genius

  • Manage and track subscribers within the subscriber database which contains information on when a subscription started, how long until renewal, payment details, and more for each customer.

  • Trigger email reminders and marketing content to send to clients who are nearing the end of their subscription, and enable automatic renewals for clients that don’t opt-out.

  • Process payments within the Subscription Genius app by integrating with a range of payment gateways including Authorize.net, PayPal, and more.

  • Customize billing and invoicing with the ability to offer different pricing tiers depending on the job title or industry of the subscriber, and manage discounts and promotions.

  • Gather data from subscribers in order to generate reports on metrics such as subscribers by demographic, daily behavioral habits, and more, and filter these reports for a deeper understanding. Subscription Genius also integrates with Google Analytics to create custom reports on business performance.
