Can I sell subscriptions without Stripe?

The problem“I want recurring revenue, but every subscription tool I find runs on my own Stripe account.”

Yes. A Merchant of Record bills the subscription for you. With AgentaOS you create a monthly or yearly plan, share its link, and the buyer’s card is charged every cycle, with trials, upgrades and cancellations handled, and payouts to your bank twice a month.
