Congrats, Chargify merchants! You’re growing your businesses quickly!

In January, 2012, in the aggregate, Chargify merchants billed their customers a total of $5,300,000.

That’s a huge step above December, 2011, which was $3,900,000. That represents month-over-month growth of 36%!

Thanks for using Chargify!

One of the main things we’re working on at Chargify these days is improving the user experience, especially with regards to the speed of the site and the API.  If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ve probably seen things slow down quite a bit over time.  If you’re new, Chargify probably just seems slow most of the time.  I’m here to tell you that we don’t find the current state acceptable, and we’re working on it.
