Pixpie offers customers an image compression tool as a plug-in to WordPress. The service is free for up to 500 compressions per month, and anything over 500 compressions per month goes onto a paid plan.
After launching the image compression plug-in, founder Dmitry Osipa faced a big challenge when trying to figure out an efficient billing strategy. As he explains: “The integration process for billing and invoicing was pretty cumbersome.”
Rather than create and manage this workflow himself, he tasked a Pixpie team to research a better alternative, and they quickly found Invoiced via a Google search. Invoiced was the first platform they tried.
The Pixpie team chose Invoiced because of the easy setup and intuitive layout. “The design was very professional looking, which is exactly what we want to present to customers,” clarifies Dmitry.
Taking full advantage of the benefits offered by Invoiced, Dmitry set up recurring billing for customers, as Pixpie’s image compression service operates on a subscription basis. He also sometimes uses the coupon feature to offer discounts to new or existing customers.
The sign-up pages feature of Invoiced further allows Pixpie customers to set up their monthly subscription themselves. “I can link to the sign-up page right in WordPress, and customers can enter all their information for the subscription,” notes Dmitry.
In the future, Dmitry plans to set up a new integration using Invoiced’s API.
“Invoiced took what could have been a complex process and made it simple,” he concludes. “We are really happy with the service and its ability to simplify invoicing for us.”
