Subscriptions & Mandates
Recurring payment tools for businesses and power users.
Subscriptions
Set up recurring billing for your customers. Define the amount, frequency (daily, weekly, monthly), and duration (or indefinite). Arcle handles collection and notifies you on each successful payment. Customers can be charged automatically when their subscription renews.
Subscription Renewal
Trigger the next charge for an existing subscription. Arcle processes the payment and updates the subscription status. Useful if a payment fails and needs to be retried.
Mandates
Mandates allow unattended batch payments from a platform escrow wallet. Create a mandate with specific terms — amount, frequency, recipient list — and execute it on schedule. Each mandate execution processes all payments in a single batch.
Useful for: platform payouts, recurring disbursements, scheduled vendor payments.
Subscription vs Automation
Subscriptions are for billing customers (you charge them). Automations are for your own recurring payments (you pay others). Both run on schedule, but subscriptions are designed for the merchant-customer relationship while automations handle your personal or business outflows.
