4. SIMPLIFY CALCULATING TAX WITH AVALARA
Businesses based in Canada can now breathe a little easier, at least when it comes to taxes.
Zoho Subscriptions' integration with Avalara has been simplifying the tax process in the United States and we are also extending it to Canada now!
The tax rates are specific to location and subject to vary from time to time. Keeping track of all the changes is complicated enough but when you want to expand your business to sell to customers from other states as well, complicated doesn't even begin to cover it.
With Avalara AvaTax, you only need your customers' addresses for your tax computation to be automated. It's just that simple!

5. ACCEPTING PAYMENTS THROUGH EXPRESS CHECKOUT
Make the checkout experience as undemanding as possible for your customers. Express Checkout helps your customers subscribe to your product in as little as three clicks. Express Checkout with Payflow Pro is the latest addition to the payment options for Zoho Subscriptions users, along with cash, credit card, check, ACH/echeck.
6. HAVE CONTROL OVER YOUR PAYMENT OPTIONS
Integrated with Payments Pro or Payflow Pro?
Payments Pro and Payflow Pro offer both credit card and Express Checkout options.
With Zoho Subscriptions, you can now have absolute control over which payment options you want to display in your Hosted Pages. Choose the option that you think will be popular with your customers!

7. IMPORT AND EXPORT INVOICES WITH EASE
Zoho Subscriptions allows you to import and export invoices to make sure that you have all the invoices that you need in the same place. If you've just migrated from a different system to Zoho Subscriptions, use the import option to have an updated record of your invoices. Exporting invoices is also made easy with options to export all invoices or those generated for a particular date range.
8. GET NOTIFIED ON BEING PAID ONLINE
Whenever an online payment is received (through ACH, PayPal account or a credit card payment), get notified through an email from Zoho Subscriptions.
Give these features a try and do let us know what you think. Keep an eye on this space for more updates next month!
