Before we shutdown our previous project the intention was to go with a merchant account at one of the major banks, eWay as the payment gateway, and Spreedly as the recurring processor and CC database. At the time Spreedly was selected it had the best support for Australian payment gateways, and from what I've seen it still seems to.

Definitely I would love for Stripe to come down to Australia, but we're a very small market. Perhaps people here that have experience with banking in Australia should have a go at creating a comparable startup?

Cheers,
Dominik

thanks for the tips Dom.  We're pre launch, so waiting isnt really a
problem at this point.  I read about stripe on HN this morning
actually, and i'm not sure how quick they'll be to the aussie market,
probably slower than what i'd like. spreedly is a good lead tho' thx.

There's also Spreedly (spreedly.com) which is a reoccuring billing service,
they hook into eWay among other processors. If you could wait a while longer
there's a new integrated payment system startup called Stripe (stripe.com),
but as with most things they're USA only for now, hence the wait.

Hi Jason,

I recommend looking at http://chargify.com and http://recurly.com

My experience is with Chargify and the API is pretty good and you'll
be able to build your app around it. You can also setup web hooks to
get notified about expired credit cards, those type of events.
Chargify can handle things like different plan choices, free trials,
pro-rating mid-month plan changes. You can also setup coupons codes
and many other things you'd probably expect from such a billing
service.

The thing you should look at sooner rather than later is which payment
gateway to integrate with. For Australia, Recurly supports PayPal and
Chargify supports Payment Express. Your choice of billing solution is
probably going to come down to which one of those payment gateways
suits your business.

Cheers,
Vincent

HI all,

In the (hopefully near) future I'll be launching a startup that
requires a monthly billing cycle (as well as one off payments).  I've
checked out eway and am pretty impressed with them, however its not
exactly what i'm after.  integrating with eway would mean writing our
own billing platform, something to handle expired cards, non payments
incorrect payments etc etc.

What i'd like is to outsource the billing platform and fee collection
side and focus on our core business.

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing they'd be
willing to share? ideally it would be nice to integrate into some kind
of CRM, a one stop shop for customer data..
