The problem

The challenges we solve together

Enterprise subscription businesses are forced to choose between best-in-class billing and reliable payment rails. Recurly and Nuvei remove that trade-off.

GATEWAY LOCK-IN

No single solution handles it all: Better billing and better processing shouldn't require compromise. Recurly handles the billing complexity. Nuvei handles the processing complexity. One integrated stack.

ENTERPRISE COMPLEXITY

Stuck with subpar billing tools: Vault migration risk shouldn't block better billing. Keep your Nuvei payment infrastructure. Recurly sits on top, advanced subscription management without touching your vault.

RIGID BILLING LOGIC

Pricing changes require engineering: Slow go-to-market shouldn't be a billing problem. Launch new plans, bundles, and promotions in minutes from Recurly's UI—no engineering ticket required.

REVENUE LEAKAGE

Involuntary churn from failed payments: Failed payments are recoverable revenue—if your platform is smart enough. Recurly's ML retry logic combined with Nuvei's authorization data saves transactions other platforms lose.

GLOBAL EXPANSION FRICTION

New markets mean new integrations: Expanding into LATAM, APAC, or EMEA shouldn't mean a new gateway project. Nuvei's global local payment methods and APMs are instantly accessible through Recurly's unified checkout. One integration, everywhere.

COMPLIANCE BURDEN

RevRec and audit complexity: ASC-606, IFRS-15, audit trails, invoice controls—Recurly's built-in compliance handles it all, so your finance team isn't drowning in manual reconciliation at scale.

How it works

How Recurly and Nuvei work together

The integration is designed so that merchants never have to choose between best-in-class billing and best-in-class payments. Each layer does what it does best.

Nuvei processes your payments

Your existing Nuvei merchant account and payment vault stay intact. No token migration. No risk. Nuvei handles authorization, local and alternative payment methods across all supported markets.

Recurly manages the subscription lifecycle

Recurly sits on top as the system of record for billing logic — handling plans, pricing changes, trials, coupons, proration, and the full subscriber lifecycle.

Intelligent recovery runs automatically

Recurly's machine learning retry logic uses Nuvei's authorization data to identify and recover failed transactions — maximizing revenue without manual intervention.

Finance and ops stay in control

Full audit trails, ASC-606 compliance, invoice controls, and real-time reporting give your finance and payments teams the visibility they need at scale.

Capabilities

What you get with the integration

A complete subscription stack, combining Recurly's billing intelligence with Nuvei's global payment infrastructure.

Recurly

• Intelligent dunning and recovery
  Machine learning-powered retry logic recovers failed payments before they become churn. Recurly's dunning engine averages $1.2B in annual revenue recovery for customers.

Recurly

• Flexible plan and pricing management
  Launch new pricing plans, bundles, trials, and promotions without engineering support. Supports hybrid billing models, complex coupons, and proration at scale.

Recurly

• ASC-606 and IFRS-15 compliance
  Built-in revenue recognition standards and full invoice audit trails. Edit, reissue, or backdate invoices directly — no cancel-and-resubscribe workarounds.

Nuvei

• High-acceptance transaction processing
  Nuvei's infrastructure is optimized for high-acceptance rates in gaming, travel, digital goods, and media — the verticals where most gateways fall short.

Nuvei

• Global local payment methods
  Turn on APMs and local payment methods in LATAM, APAC, and EMEA without complex new integrations. Expand into new markets without burdening your engineering team.

Joint

• Apple Pay, Google Pay, and mobile wallets
  Native support for key mobile wallets ensures mobile-first subscribers convert instantly. Capture the highest possible signup conversion rates for digital goods and media.

Joint

• Decoupled billing and payments
  Separating billing logic from payment processing eliminates single points of failure. If one layer needs maintenance, the other keeps running — and your subscribers never notice.

Joint

• Zero vault migration required
  Keep your existing Nuvei payment tokens and rails. Recurly integrates without requiring you to move your vault — eliminating the biggest barrier to upgrading your billing stack.

Recurly

• Multi-gateway orchestration
  Recurly handles the orchestration. Manage all your gateway relationships centrally, without building custom logic for each provider or region you operate in..

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for enterprise subscription businesses

The Recurly + Nuvei integration is purpose-built for merchants who have outgrown gateway billing and need a best-in-class stack that scales with them globally.

Gaming, digital media, and travel

Verticals where Nuvei's high-acceptance processing and Recurly's subscription engine deliver the most impact — particularly for mobile-first and high-volume transaction businesses.

Global expansion teams

Merchants looking to optimize acceptance rates in LATAM, APAC, and EMEA without rebuilding their payment infrastructure for every new market

CFOs and VPs of Payments

Finance and payments leaders evaluating best-in-class stacks — who need to solve for RevRec (ASC-606), recover lost revenue, and reduce operational risk simultaneously.

CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS

Is this the right fit?

The Recurly + Nuvei integration is best suited for merchants who meet these three criteria.

• Existing or planned Nuvei relationship: You have an active merchant account with Nuvei or you're ready to open one. This integration works alongside your existing Nuvei payment rails, not instead of them.

• Complex subscription needs: You've outgrown gateway billing — you need hybrid models, complex coupons, proration, or lifecycle management that your current setup can't handle without developer effort.

• Readiness to modernize: You're willing to adopt Recurly as the system of record for billing and subscription lifecycle management — with Nuvei as the payment processing layer underneath.
