Wonder if you could elaborate more on this for someone not a hardcore techie
Does this target a specific niche or another version of Recurly, Chargify or ChargeBee?

Hey Jonathan do not worry, slowly things will fall into place. I wish you luck and pray for you and will also curse this unfair world for you. Stay strong and instil your little ones with confidence and happiness. Take care.
I use Skype almost every other minute, and never witnessed any huge battery drains either from my Windows Phone or Windows RT tablet or even in an iPhone. Guess its an android issue

Ofcourse it does not have a transparent pricing or subscription module, but you could overcome that by integrating with any third party app spreedly, chargebee etc
Offtopic: Isn't 2checkout & its recurring module avilable for Nigerian merchants?
Re:Why do credit card forms ask for Visa, Mastercard, etc.? on Saturday February 01, 2014 @05:03AM (#7161299)
I wonder if this was used to discourage AmEX cards(Higher processing fee), as to my knowledge these forms have originated in pre-checkout JS era and have just been copied thereafter. Would be helpful if we could get a look at the processing rates 6-7 years back.

Disclosure: I know I'm with ChargeBee, not a pitch just an observation.
