In June, Clink expanded subscription monetization, payment routing, merchant onboarding, and financial management for multi-product portfolios.

Phased subscription pricing

Apply different prices automatically across billing periods.

Visual payment routing

Configure rules, traffic splits, and Smart Retry more clearly.

Product portfolio management

Manage multiple products, prices, and local currencies in one place.

​
Products and subscriptions

​
Subscription schedules with phased pricing

Merchants can now configure consecutive pricing phases when creating a subscription, allowing one subscription to use different prices across billing periods. For example:
1

Introductory price

Charge $9 for the first month.
2

Second phase

Charge $39 per month for the next two months.
3

Ongoing renewal

Continue renewing at $59 per month.
Each phase can define its price and duration. The final phase can continue indefinitely. This supports introductory offers, scheduled price increases, and limited-time plans without combining multiple coupons. If a customer upgrades or downgrades, the active schedule ends and the subscription continues on the new standard plan. Learn about products and prices · Learn about subscription integration

​
Control upgrades and downgrades separately

Customer Portal settings now let merchants independently allow customers to:
  • Upgrade to a higher plan
  • Downgrade to a lower plan
This allows businesses to enable only the changes supported by their entitlement and provisioning workflows. Learn about Customer Portal

​
More subscription API and billing-cycle data

This release also adds:
  • Immediate subscription cancellation
  • The number of completed renewals in subscription responses
  • Improved subscription schedule display in Checkout and Customer Portal

​
Smart routing and payment orchestration

​
Upgraded visual payment routing

The payment routing experience now provides a clearer visual rule builder. Merchants can:
  • Prioritize routing rules
  • Match transactions with conditional nodes
  • Branch based on payment results
  • Configure channel splits and Smart Retry
  • See whether each rule is enabled
Routing rules can be enabled or disabled independently. Disabling a rule preserves its configuration while removing it from payment matching, so temporary strategy changes no longer require deleting the rule.
These controls help merchants tailor payment paths to markets, payment methods, and transaction conditions while reducing duplicate configuration. Explore Clink Smart Routing

Product portfolio management

​
Subscription and pricing management across a portfolio

Clink Product Studio provides one place to manage:
  • One-time and subscription products
  • Weekly, monthly, and annual billing intervals
  • Multiple prices for one product
  • Localized prices for different markets
  • Free trials and tax categories
  • Product archiving with compatibility for existing subscriptions
Merchants can use one Price ID for multiple local-currency prices and connect products to Checkout, subscriptions, and invoices. Learn about Product & Price

​
Tenant-level bills and multi-merchant finance

Tenant administrators can now generate bills for all merchants or a selected set of merchants in one operation. The result is downloaded as a ZIP file with a separate bill for each merchant, supporting central finance operations while keeping merchant records distinct.

Merchant operations

​
Insights and detailed exports

The dashboard now includes additional insights and more export fields for transaction analysis, customer payments, and business trends. Transaction lists also support amount ranges, routing-rule filters, and multi-select filters for faster investigation. Learn about order and transaction data

​
Self-service onboarding and production activation

Merchant onboarding now includes self-service production KYC, invitation-code registration, and test-environment information synchronization. Merchants can complete registration and integration validation in the test environment before moving more smoothly into production activation. Learn about going live

​
Developers and checkout

​
Webhook management and event replay

Developers can create Webhook Endpoints and replay events from the Dashboard when delivery fails, a merchant service is temporarily unavailable, or business processing needs to run again. Order responses now include more payment details, including card brand, last four digits, issuer country, issuer, and account information for methods such as PayPal.

  • Payment without saving a card
  • Elements embedded payments
