What is Moov?
Moov keeps absorbing the payments plumbing its customers would otherwise build themselves.
Moov is shipping on a steady quarterly API cadence with monthly increments in between, and the recent run has been about rail coverage and merchant-facing control. FedNow support arrived through the instant-bank-credit method with automatic network selection between FedNow and RTP, Google Pay landed earlier for both acceptance and payouts, and surcharging went from launch to test-mode card coverage. The embedding surface has been widening too — resumable onboarding Drops, custom Dashboard roles, fee plan disclosure, user-defined amounts on payment links.
What is Zoho Billing?
Zoho Billing is growing a checkout surface for one-off items, not just subscriptions.
The July window is split between reporting and payment collection. On reporting: Active Subscriptions by Country and by Product, plus a Payment Method Summary that surfaces cards nearing expiry. On collection: hosted payment pages for individual items, shareable as a URL, QR code, iframe or HTML button, and a redesigned single-page checkout template in early access with abandoned-cart recovery and saved checkout progress. Role-based access on the SKU field and bulk TDS import round it out.

Moov

Moov keeps absorbing the payments plumbing its customers would otherwise build themselves.
◆ Current state
Moov is shipping on a steady quarterly API cadence with monthly increments in between, and the recent run has been about rail coverage and merchant-facing control. FedNow support arrived through the instant-bank-credit method with automatic network selection between FedNow and RTP, Google Pay landed earlier for both acceptance and payouts, and surcharging went from launch to test-mode card coverage. The embedding surface has been widening too — resumable onboarding Drops, custom Dashboard roles, fee plan disclosure, user-defined amounts on payment links.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is consistent: take a decision a platform customer would otherwise have to make and make it Moov's problem. Network selection, surcharge regulatory caps, tipping presets, account connection scoping all follow that shape. Versioning discipline is a visible part of the story, with in-development versions previewed and deprecations announced ahead of the stable cut, which matters for a product whose customers embed it rather than integrate once.
◆ Prediction
Expect the v2026.10.00 cycle to firm up around the in-development changes now surfacing in previews, with the same pattern of a preview period before the stable release rather than a single large cut.
Zoho Billing
6.3FINANCE
Zoho Billing is growing a checkout surface for one-off items, not just subscriptions.
◆ Current state
The July window is split between reporting and payment collection. On reporting: Active Subscriptions by Country and by Product, plus a Payment Method Summary that surfaces cards nearing expiry. On collection: hosted payment pages for individual items, shareable as a URL, QR code, iframe or HTML button, and a redesigned single-page checkout template in early access with abandoned-cart recovery and saved checkout progress. Role-based access on the SKU field and bulk TDS import round it out.
◆ Where it's heading
Two directions are visible. Reporting is being cut by dimensions a subscription business actually plans against — country, product, payment-method expiry — which is groundwork for retention and dunning work rather than accounting output. More significant is that Zoho Billing now collects money for a single item outside any subscription, records it, and raises the invoice, which puts it in reach of transactions it previously had no surface for.
◆ Prediction
Expect the redesigned checkout to leave early access for all organizations, and the item payment pages to gain the recovery and portal features the subscription checkout just received.
