At the heart of Content Syndicate’s subscription model is our world-class billing and subscription engine, built ground up for the content industry, which empowers publishers to buy, sell and even tailor-make subscription packages to suit every niche and budget.
We understand in a dynamic market scenario, publishers need a flexible solution that will enable them to create, launch, and test new products and pricing plans. Traditional systems like SAP and Oracle are built for the manufacturing world, not the online commerce and subscriptions world. Hiring consultants is expensive and leaves publishers with hard coded systems that may not support future pricing models. Everyone’s talking about solving this problem for publishers, but everything is still years away.
Content Syndicate’s online commerce platform that makes it easy for publishers to monetize their online content – immediately. Now publishers can use the same proven platform that is already the de facto standard for subscription businesses in the technology industry to create and test new products, start taking subscriptions online, and manage all their backend recurring billing and payments.
What are you waiting for? Its simple to price your content, create packages and get paid.
