Lago: Open-Source Billing & Subscription Management

Lago

Lago is an open-source billing and subscription management platform that serves as an alternative to popular payment processing services like Stripe Billing and Chargebee. It is designed to help businesses and developers manage their subscription billing and payment processing needs, including invoicing, payment processing, and customer management. Lago provides a flexible, easy-to-use interface that enables users to create and manage subscriptions, invoices, and payments with ease.

Key Features:

Subscription Management: Lago allows businesses and developers to manage subscriptions for their customers, including creating, updating, and cancelling subscriptions. Users can also configure subscription plans, pricing, and billing intervals.
Invoicing and Payment Processing: With Lago, businesses can easily create and send invoices to customers and accept payments online. Lago supports a wide range of payment methods, including credit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers.
Customer Management: Lago provides tools for managing customer data, including their billing and payment history, subscriptions, and contact information.
Open-Source: Lago is an open-source platform, which means that it is free to use and users can access its source code. This makes it easier for developers to customize and extend the platform to meet their specific needs.

How it works:

To use Lago, users need to set up an account and connect it to their payment gateway. They can then configure their subscription plans, pricing, and billing intervals. Once the subscriptions are set up, Lago will automatically generate invoices and send them to customers at the designated billing interval. Customers can then pay their invoices through the payment gateway, and Lago will automatically update their subscription status based on the payment received. Lago also provides a dashboard that allows users to monitor their subscription activity and customer data in real time.
