Subscription Billing for Media & Publishing in Nepal
Digital subscriptions, print, and streaming access all live or die on one thing: knowing who's actually paid. SUQO tracks every subscriber, sends renewal reminders automatically, and collects via eSewa and Khalti — so your paywall runs on real data, not a spreadsheet.
Start managing subscriptions
Manual subscriber tracking doesn't scale past a few hundred readers.
Every media outlet starts the same way — a spreadsheet of subscribers, WhatsApp reminders, and someone manually checking who's paid. It holds up at 50 subscribers. Past a few hundred, renewals slip through and nobody notices until a reader complains their access was cut — or worse, wasn't.
Chasing renewals reader by reader
Someone messages each subscriber before their plan expires — email, SMS, or WhatsApp. It's manageable at 50 readers. At 500, it's a full-time job, and renewals still get missed.
A spreadsheet standing in for a subscriber database
Subscriber names, plan types, renewal dates, and payment status — all in a shared sheet, updated by hand, wrong more often than anyone wants to admit.
Access decisions made by guesswork
A payment fails and nobody notices for a week — the reader keeps their access anyway. Or a payment goes through and access isn't restored fast enough. Either way, it's a manual check, not a system.
No clear line between print, digital, and bundled plans
Different tiers, different renewal cycles, different price points — tracked across separate sheets or notebooks with no single source of truth for who's on what.
Cash and bank transfers recorded nowhere reliable
A reader pays via bank transfer or in person, it gets noted somewhere, maybe entered into the sheet later. By month end, no one's sure what came in and what's still owed.
No real picture of subscription revenue
You can't see your actual recurring revenue without manually adding up the sheet — no trends, no churn rate, just a rough sense of how the month went.
Subscriber infrastructure for Nepal's media and publishing businesses.
Before SUQO, running paid subscriptions for a news site, magazine, or streaming service in Nepal meant spreadsheets, WhatsApp reminders, and manually deciding who still has access. SUQO replaces all of that — one platform that tracks every subscriber, sends renewal reminders automatically over SMS, and tells you exactly who's active, who's due, and who's lapsed. Wire it into your own site or app via the API to keep your paywall in sync automatically.
Built in Nepal, built for Nepal.
Everything you need to run subscriber billing for media.
One platform for your entire subscriber base — print, digital, or streaming.
Subscriber management
Every subscriber — active, due, overdue, paused, or cancelled — in one structured dashboard. No spreadsheet needed.
Renewal tracking
Know exactly who renews when across every plan and tier. See what's due today, this week, and next month — without digging through a sheet.
Automated SMS reminders
Renewal reminders go out automatically before and after the due date. Readers get reminded, you get paid — no manual follow-up needed.
Payment collection
Collect via eSewa, Khalti, and ConnectIPS through a subscriber payment link. Record cash and bank transfers manually too — every payment in one place.
Revenue reporting
See active subscriber count, overdue accounts, and collection history in real time. Always know what your recurring revenue actually looks like.
Flexible plan management
Create monthly, yearly, or bundled print-and-digital plans. Update pricing anytime — existing subscribers stay on their plan until you move them.
REST API for your platform
Sync subscriber status directly into your website or app so paywall access always matches what's actually been paid.
Three steps to structured subscriber billing.
Set up your subscription plans
Create plans for each tier — digital-only, print-only, or bundled. Set your pricing, billing cycle, and accepted payment methods. Takes under 10 minutes.
Add your subscribers
Onboard readers via a payment link or add them manually. Each subscriber gets their own billing cycle and renewal date from day one.
SUQO handles the rest
Renewal reminders go out automatically over SMS. Every subscriber is tracked: active, due, in grace, or cancelled. Whether you have 100 readers or 10,000, the same system runs without you touching it.
Built to be trusted with your revenue.
You're not just tracking subscribers — you're routing real payments through SUQO. Here's how that's protected.
Every business is verified
Sellers submit business registration and tax documents, and SUQO reviews and approves each one before they can start accepting payments.
Payments are confirmed independently
Every payment is verified directly with the gateway's own servers — never taken on trust from what a browser reports back.
Your data is backed up daily
The database and files are backed up every night, encrypted, and stored off-site — so a server issue never means lost subscriber or payment records.
Nothing is silently deleted
Removed records are archived, not destroyed, so your subscription and payment history stays intact for reporting and disputes.
Simple pricing. No surprises.
Free platform. Per successful transaction.

You want auto-debit. So do we.
Let's be honest about where Nepal's payment infrastructure is — and where it's going.
Reminder-driven collection. Fully structured.
Auto-debit isn't available in Nepal yet. Banking infrastructure hasn't opened that up. But subscription management is far more than one feature. SUQO handles everything that can be structured right now:
- Automated SMS reminders before and after renewal dates
- Payment links sent directly to subscribers
- Full visibility on who's paid, who's due, who's overdue
- Collection via eSewa, Khalti, and ConnectIPS
- Manual recording for cash and bank transfers
When auto-debit arrives in Nepal, SUQO will have it first.
Nepal's payment infrastructure is evolving. When auto-debit becomes available, SUQO is positioned to integrate it immediately — and you'll already be on the platform.
- First-mover advantage for businesses already on SUQO
- No migration — same subscribers, same plans, upgraded flow
- The subscription infrastructure is already built and running
