Flutterwave Payment: Simple Payments & Powerful Subscriptions
Accept one-time payments and recurring subscriptions with flexible plans — daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly.Ecartify: Flutterwave Payment Gateway
Modern e-commerce isn't just about selling products once—it's about building recurring revenue streams through subscriptions, memberships, and repeat purchases. Businesses need payment solutions that handle both simple one-time transactions and complex recurring billing with ease.
Traditional payment gateways force you to choose between basic payments or expensive third-party subscription management tools, creating complexity, higher costs, and poor customer experiences.
That's exactly why we built Ecartify: Flutterwave Payment Gateway — a comprehensive payment solution that combines simple product payments with powerful subscription management, all integrated seamlessly into CS-Cart with flexible billing cycles from daily to yearly.
Key Features of Flutterwave Payment Gateway
Unlike traditional payment gateways that only handle basic transactions, our Flutterwave integration gives you complete flexibility to sell products as either one-time purchases or recurring subscriptions.
- Process standard one-time product purchases
- Enable subscription-based recurring payments per product
- Let customers choose between purchase or subscribe
- Mix regular and subscription products in the same store
- Toggle subscription mode on/off per product easily
This dual-mode approach gives you ultimate control over your revenue model without needing multiple payment systems.
Create subscription plans that match your business model perfectly. Our addon supports five different billing frequencies to accommodate any subscription strategy.
Available Subscription Plans:
Each plan can have custom pricing, iteration limits, and individual activation status—giving you complete control.
For each product, create and manage multiple subscription plans with detailed control over pricing, duration, and billing cycles.
- Plan Name: Create custom names like "Premium Monthly" or "Basic Weekly"
- Plan Type: Select from daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly
- Subscription Amount: Set the recurring price per billing cycle
- Number of Iterations: Define how many billing cycles (e.g., 12 months, unlimited)
- Status: Activate or deactivate plans individually
All plan details are managed through an intuitive subscription plan table directly in the product editor.
When subscriptions are enabled for a product, customers see clear subscription options on the product detail page, making it easy to choose their preferred plan.
- Subscription plans displayed clearly on product page
- "No Subscription" option available for one-time purchase
- All active plans shown with pricing and frequency
- Selected plan pricing automatically applied to cart
- Clear indication of billing frequency and total iterations
- Seamless checkout process with Flutterwave
Customers can easily understand and select the subscription that fits their needs without any confusion.
Once a customer subscribes, the system automatically handles recurring billing according to the selected plan schedule.
- Automatic recurring charges based on plan frequency
- Iteration counter tracks completed billing cycles
- Subscription automatically ends after set iterations
- Failed payment retry logic built-in
- Email notifications for successful charges
- Complete payment history for each subscription
Set it and forget it—the system handles all recurring billing automatically.
Admins get a specialized backend interface to monitor and manage all subscription-based orders separately from regular orders.
- Access via Orders → Flutterwave Subscription Orders
- View all active and completed subscriptions
- Track completed iterations for each subscription
- Monitor subscription status and payment history
- See customer subscription details at a glance
- Export subscription data for reporting
Complete visibility into your recurring revenue stream with professional subscription management tools.
