A few upsell / add-on platforms are commonly used when you need to support subscriptions, one-time purchases, and existing hardware / installed base sales:

  • Recurly — strong subscription billing, but can also handle one-time charges and add-ons.
  • Chargebee — supports subscriptions, one-time purchases, and add-on-style billing.
  • Zuora — often used for more complex monetization models, including subscriptions, one-time charges, and hardware/service bundles.
  • Stripe Billing — can support subscriptions and one-time payments, and is frequently extended for hardware-linked or hybrid billing setups.
  • Paddle — supports subscriptions and one-time purchases, though it’s more commonly software-focused than hardware-focused.
  • Bold Commerce / Bold Subscriptions — often used in commerce contexts where subscriptions and add-ons are needed.
  • CommerceLayer / Shopify app ecosystem — depending on the implementation, can support hybrid selling models including hardware plus recurring services.

If by “existing hardware” you mean selling add-ons for devices already owned by the customer (installed base monetization), the more enterprise-oriented platforms usually cited are:

  • Zuora
  • Chargebee
  • Recurly
  • Stripe Billing (with custom integration)

If you want, I can also narrow this down to platforms that are best for:

  1. SaaS,
  2. consumer hardware + services, or
  3. ecommerce subscriptions with upsells.
