[Key Takeaways](#key-takeaways) What Is Subscriptionify? ------------------------ [Subscriptionify](https://github.com/revoltify/subscriptionify) is a Laravel package by Rasel Islam Rafi that handles subscription plan modelling, feature quota enforcement, and usage tracking entirely within your own database. Unlike Laravel Cashier, it is completely payment-gateway-agnostic — it does not wrap any billing API. That makes it a practical choice when you bill through a provider Cashier does not support, charge against a prepaid balance, or need to gate features without charging at all. It requires **PHP 8.2** and supports **Laravel 11, 12, and 13**. Installation ------------ ```bash composer require revoltify/subscriptionify php artisan vendor:publish --tag=subscriptionify-config php artisan vendor:publish --tag=subscriptionify-migrations php artisan migrate ``` The migrations create six tables covering plans, features, the plan/feature pivot, subscriptions, usage records, and direct feature grants. Making Any Model Subscribable ----------------------------- Implement the `Subscribable` contract and add the `InteractsWithSubscriptions` trait to any Eloquent model — `User`, `Organisation`, `Workspace`, or whatever fits your domain: ```php use Revoltify\Subscriptionify\Concerns\InteractsWithSubscriptions; use Revoltify\Subscriptionify\Contracts\Subscribable; class Workspace extends Model implements Subscribable { use InteractsWithSubscriptions; } ``` Four Feature Types for Different Quota Patterns ----------------------------------------------- Subscriptionify distinguishes four feature types, each with its own consumption semantics: - **Toggle** — a plain on/off capability gate. - **Consumable** — a depletable quota that resets on a schedule (e.g. monthly API calls). - **Limit** — a hard cap on a running total that can be freed again (e.g. active seats or projects). - **Metered** — pay-per-use tracking with no cap, charging per unit. Features are created once and attached to plans through a pivot that carries the allocation: ```php $plan->features()->attach($reports, [ 'value' => 500, // 0 means unlimited 'unit_price' => '0.02000000', 'reset_period' => 1, 'reset_interval' => 'month', ]); ``` Usage Tracking on the Subscribable Model ---------------------------------------- All consumption methods live directly on the subscribable model: ```php $workspace->subscribe($plan); $workspace->hasFeature('reports'); // feature available? $workspace->canConsume('reports', 10); // 10 units available? $workspace->consume('reports', 10); // record usage, throws on quota breach $workspace->tryConsume('reports', 10); // returns false instead of throwing $workspace->remainingUsage('reports'); // units left this period ``` For `Limit` features, `release()` hands units back — essential for slot-based resources like projects or seats: ```php $workspace->consume('projects', 1); // create a project $workspace->release('projects', 1); // delete it, freeing the slot ``` Direct Grants Independent of the Plan ------------------------------------- `grantFeature()` assigns quota directly to a subscribable on top of whatever the plan already provides. A plan with 500 reports plus a 1,000-unit grant yields 1,500 available units — useful for one-off top-ups or promotional bonuses without creating bespoke plans: ```php $workspace->grantFeature('reports', value: 1_000); $workspace->revokeFeature('reports'); // plan allocation still applies ``` Optional Overage and Metered Billing ------------------------------------ Billing is opt-in. Implement the `HasFunds` contract and the package charges overage against a balance you control. Amounts are passed as strings and compared with `bccomp`, so all arithmetic is arbitrary-precision rather than floating-point. Without `HasFunds`, features fall back to hard limits that throw on breach — meaning you can enforce quotas first and add billing later without rewriting consumption code. Route Middleware and Blade Directives ------------------------------------- Three middleware aliases protect routes and return `403` on failure: ```php Route::middleware('subscribed')->group(...); Route::middleware('plan:pro')->group(...); Route::middleware('feature:reports')->group(...); ``` Matching Blade directives gate view content, including `@onTrial` and `@feature` blocks. Lifecycle, Events, and Scheduled Expiry --------------------------------------- Subscriptions support `changePlan()`, `renew()`, `cancel()`, `cancelNow()`, and `resume()`. Each transition dispatches an event (`SubscriptionCreated`, `SubscriptionCancelled`, `FeatureConsumed`, etc.). An Artisan command handles expiry: ```php Schedule::command('subscriptionify:expire-overdue')->hourly(); ``` Key Takeaways ------------- - Gateway-agnostic: works with any payment provider or no provider at all. - Four distinct feature types cover toggle, consumable, limit, and metered patterns. - Direct grants let you top up individual subscribers without creating new plans. - Billing via `HasFunds` is opt-in; quota enforcement works without it. - Arbitrary-precision math (`bcmath`) prevents floating-point billing errors. - Middleware and Blade directives provide first-class access gating. --- *Source: [Laravel News — Subscriptionify: Feature-Based Subscription Management for Laravel](https://laravel-news.com/subscriptionify)* - [Laravel](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Laravel) - [Subscriptions](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Subscriptions) - [Package](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Package) - [SaaS](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=SaaS) - [Feature Flags](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Feature%20Flags) Frequently asked questions --------------------------- How is Subscriptionify different from Laravel Cashier?Laravel Cashier wraps a specific payment provider's billing API (such as Stripe or Paddle). Subscriptionify is gateway-agnostic — it tracks plans, feature quotas, and usage in your own database and does not integrate with any payment provider directly, leaving billing to you. Can I enforce feature quotas without setting up billing?Yes. Billing via the HasFunds contract is entirely opt-in. Without it, Subscriptionify enforces hard quota limits that throw an exception when exceeded. You can add billing later without rewriting any of your consumption code. What is the difference between a Consumable and a Limit feature type?A Consumable is a depletable quota that resets on a schedule, such as a monthly allowance of API calls. A Limit is a hard cap on a running total that can be freed again — for example, active project slots where deleting a project calls release() to free the slot for reuse. ![Mohamed Said](https://cdn.msaied.com/01M22N44A70A5MC2S599JP0MPH.webp)About the author ---------------- [Mohamed Said](https://www.msaied.com/public#person)Senior Backend Engineer specializing in Laravel, scalable SaaS platforms, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
