We build subscription and payment platforms that our clients own outright.
Our core expertise is Stripe Billing: paywalls, plans and entitlements, subscription management, dunning and invoicing — for media companies, publishers and any business whose revenue is recurring. Around that core we implement Checkout (hosted and fully custom, web and in-app), Connect for marketplaces and multi-party payouts, and Terminal for in-venue point of sale.
Our flagship reference is The Pioneer, Germany's largest digital-native, subscription-based newspaper for politics and business. We built the complete platform — paywall, subscription management on Stripe Billing, live streams and event purchasing — and have developed it together with the client for more than five years, serving readers across web and app every day.
We work where standard plugins and template systems stop: complex subscription logic, multi-tenant platforms, migrations from legacy billing, and integrations into existing CRM, CMS and ERP landscapes. Typical engagements: greenfield subscription platforms, replatforming to Stripe Billing, and long-term product development as an embedded team.
code-b is a Berlin-based engineering team founded in 2010. Our team holds 11 Stripe certifications across developer and architect tracks, including three Certified Billing Developers. Two cross-functional Scrum teams — product owner, frontend, backend and full-stack — deliver in sprints with full technical ownership. Everything we build is documented, handed over and owned by our clients: your repository, your infrastructure, your team can take over any time. No lock-in, by design.
We work in German and English across the DACH region. Our track record includes The Pioneer, Bringmeister (API-first replatforming of a grocery e-commerce platform with no downtime) and in-venue point of sale for a restaurant platform.
