About

What sets Advantage apart as a superior subscription & product order management system is total flexibility. The flexibility allows you to efficiently run your business the way you want to. And with the rapid expansion of consumer preference for access to content through subscription and membership models—whether you’re a publisher, membership organization or product distributor—you need a market-responsive order-to-cash solution. Ecommerce is increasingly a critical revenue source for publishers and membership associations. But tying eCommerce into complete customer and related financial information is critical. Since Cider is built on the same system logic as Advantage, you immediately realize the power of 1,000s of features.
