Q: Pre sales questions
Hi team critical questions:
1. CUSTOMER PORTAL
Saw "unibee-user-portal" on GitHub but AppSumo suggests you don't have one. Clarify:
- Can customers update payment methods when cards fail?
- Self-service upgrades/downgrades or admin-only?
- White-label with custom domain?
- Spanish language support?
2. MULTI-ENTITY (same company, 4 brands)
- SEPARATE invoice numbering per brand?
- DIFFERENT branding and payment gateways per brand?
- Customer isolation per brand or cross-brand subscriptions allowed?
3. iOS/Android app for customers? For admins? Both? Neither?
4. Can admins process upgrades/add-ons from backend without customer portal access?
5. If cloud service discontinues, how hard is migration to self-hosted open-source version?
Thanks!

Oct 29, 2025A: Thanks Pablo — let me go through each point briefly and honestly based on how UniBee works today.
1. CUSTOMER PORTAL
We don’t have a full standalone “customer self-service portal” in the Cloud version yet.
What we do have today:
• Hosted Checkout + Hosted Subscription Update page, where end customers can update payment method when a card fails and keep paying.
• Admins can upgrade/downgrade plans, add add-ons, change subscription status for any customer directly from the UniBee admin panel (so you can still operate without exposing a portal).
Spanish: our checkout / emails are already moving toward multi-language (Spanish is in scope); invoices are currently in English and multi-language invoices are planned.
2. On the multi-entity / multi-brand question:
We already support operating multiple brands / legal entities under one UniBee account.
For each payment gateway you add, you can configure a different “invoice identity” for that brand — including:
Company name shown on the invoice
Company address
Registration / tax numbers (VAT, etc.)
That means Brand A can have its own legal name, address, tax ID and payment gateway, and Brand B can have a completely different set. Invoices generated through each gateway will show the correct company details for that brand.
This is how we handle:
different payment gateways per brand,
different company info per brand,
and effectively separate invoice information per brand.
We do not force a single global company identity across all invoices.
3. Mobile (iOS / Android)
We don’t ship a public mobile app right now for end customers or for admins. Current usage is via web dashboard.
4. Admin control without portal
Yes. As an admin you can fully manage a customer from the backend: upgrade/downgrade, add extras, adjust pricing, handle failed payment, etc. You do not need to wait for the customer to self-serve.
5. Migration / self-hosted option
We also offer a self-hosted / open-source deployment. Data (customers, subscriptions, invoices) can be exported out of the Cloud version. But maybe this part we need to discuss more deeply.
Thanks for take the time to answer all the questions, I’m going to buy right now. About the migration: I’m not interested in self hosted, but I’m worried you are a really young project and all in want to know is if I can move my business to another self hosted option in the case something happens. Thanks.
