Monthly subscriptions are a more sustainable choice for businesses. Not only do customers like them more for various reasons like lower price points, but they help lower your risk profile.
Lifetime access sounds appealingβhaving accessing for an entire lifetime. But that is also the catch. You have to support that product for a lifetime, and if you don't then those customers will win a chargeback suit against you.
If you're still interested in selling lifetime access, I've got a few tips for you in the video.

What to do when Square closes your account and you can't accept payments.
Just like with Stripe or PayPal or Shopify Payments, Square is keen on shutting down any account that has the slightest tinge of risk. If this happens to you, immediately open a backup accountβbut don't stop there. That acount is just for 10% of your transactions and to tide you over while you open a real merchant account.
Don't fall into the Square payments trap. If it's too easy to sign up and too good to be true, then run.

Shopify Payments, the gateway and processor that Shopify uses and AGGRESSIVELY pushes you to use is actually powered by...Stripe! So if you're not able to use Stripe, then you're also not able to use Shopify Payments and vice versa.
But luckily, I have some great alternatives for those of you who still want to use Shopify's platform without Shopify Payments.

The best Stripe alternative for your business really depends on what you sell and where you sell. Stripe won't accept a ton of risk, so returns and chargebacks can literally destroy your business. PayPal, Square, and Shopify Payments act the same. While there is a place for any of these payment services, there are also much safer options to keep your store running no matter what happens.

Click to Cancel doesn't have to be the downfall of your business. The FTC's new rule is aimed at protecting consumers, but also offers businesses a new type of sales funnel.
Cancellations can be a sales funnel. Don't let customers off the hook so easily, but don't force them to stay on. Finding the balance is key.

Stripe Tokens are super useful if you go all-in on Stripeβbut you should NEVER rely solely on one solution. As a business owner, it's risky to put all your eggs in one basket. Stripe Tokens don't let you move around so freely, though. So what can you do?
If you're selling subscriptions via Stripe and tokenizing that data (as you should be doing), then find a 3rd-party vault to transfer those tokens to. That way, you can use the same customer data and subscription data no matter when payment solution you choose.
