What jBilling is
jBilling is a paid billing platform for organizations modernizing billing infrastructure and invoicing across multiple offerings. Its plug-in architecture supports subscriptions, credit-card pre-payments, complex pricing, and surge pricing, with pricing elements that can be extended or customized. Subscription controls are available through the API, and the platform provides API access and webhooks. Customer management and payment operations support billing issue handling. Analytics, automated reporting, process automation, and auditability support operational and compliance work. AppDirect describes jBilling as open source, allowing users to inspect its source code, and says it can integrate with legacy environments and other billing systems. A customer story names PayPal, MailChimp, and Braintree integrations. The mediation, collections, and billing engines process transactions in parallel in real time, while the platform scales horizontally. jBilling is offered through API, web, and self-hosted options; on-premise deployment is available through approved partners.
