Stablecoin Payments Glossary
Subscription Billing
Subscription billing is the recurring charging of users for ongoing access to a product or service.
Explanation
In stablecoin contexts, subscription billing may require specialized authorization models because token transfers are not natively identical to card pull payments. Providers may combine wallets, smart contracts, and merchant systems to manage recurring collection.
Why it matters
Subscription billing is a major commercial use case that tests whether stablecoin payments can support mainstream business models.
