SaaS Studio turns one Perfex installation into a platform: every customer gets their own Perfex workspace with its own database, the modules of their plan, limits, backups and upgrades — sold through your pricing page, billed with Perfex invoices or Stripe and PayPal subscriptions, and run from one console.
Why Perfex SaaS Studio
Running Perfex for many customers usually means many copies, many upgrades and a spreadsheet of who pays for what. SaaS Studio automates the platform around Perfex while every customer keeps a real, separate Perfex.
Copy files, create a database, import a template, send the login.
With SaaS StudioA customer picks a plan on your pricing page, verifies their e-mail and their workspace is provisioned in the background from your template — they get a one-time login link.
And one of them always breaks.
With SaaS StudioUpgrade the shared code once and queue tenant upgrades: each takes a lock, makes a backup first and stays in maintenance if anything fails.
Limits are promises nobody checks.
With SaaS StudioPlans define modules, quotas, trial and domains; usage is measured; billing runs through Perfex invoices or Stripe/PayPal subscriptions, and unpaid workspaces become past due, then suspended.
What is inside
Tenants
Each workspace is a Perfex with its own database, its own database user without global privileges, its own files and only the modules of its plan. Shared code is linked, not copied, so a hundred workspaces do not mean a hundred copies.
Plans and modules
A plan sets prices per currency and billing interval (or one-time), a setup fee, taxes, the trial, the modules and the limits. Plans can carry their own branding, an industry template and their own SMTP.
Module features per plan · updated in 1.0.2
Modules add their own switches to your plans. Plans › Module Features shows them side by side for every public plan; changes reach the workspaces right away.
Pricing page and signup
A public pricing page lists your plans; signup checks the company, contact and workspace address, verifies the e-mail and shows provisioning progress. Bot timing and optional reCAPTCHA keep spam out.
Billing
Every plan can be billed with Perfex's own recurring invoices and payment gateways. Plans without add-ons or coupons can also run as native Stripe or PayPal subscriptions; combinations with add-ons and coupons stay on the Perfex invoice route.
Operations
The platform cron runs due tenants through CLI workers — never one HTTP request per tenant. Upgrades are queued, locked and backed up; failures stay in maintenance for a clean retry.
Security & isolation
One database and one database-only user per tenant, no global privileges; cookies and CSRF bound to each workspace.
Credentials encrypted; a signed tenant registry; platform SMTP never handed to tenants; secrets never shown twice.
Tenants share one PHP user: run trusted modules only, and use containers or separate OS users for untrusted code.
Upload and activate on the platform install, then open Health and Settings and fix anything red.
A pool of empty databases or a database admin account, tenant and backup folders outside the web root, and one cron line.
Register a template workspace, create your first plan and switch on the pricing page.
Roadmap
What we are building and planning. Plans can change, and we never promise dates: an item ships when it is ready and tested.
Tenant databases and folders on shared hosting panels, fully supported.
Sentinel and Design Studio shared by every workspace instead of copied.
Turn each new SellMyCode module on or off for each plan.
Update the module from the Perfex admin, with a backup first and a way back.
Pricing

Yes. Offering Perfex CRM to others as a service requires the Perfex CRM Extended Licence from its author. SaaS Studio's own licence covers one main installation with unlimited tenants.
A VPS or dedicated server is recommended: PHP 8.1 for web and CLI, MySQL/MariaDB where you can create databases and users (or a pool you created beforehand), cron, HTTPS and folders outside the web root. For a small pilot 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM; for about 100 light tenants plan 4–8 vCPU and 8–16 GB RAM, then measure with your real modules and traffic. cPanel and Plesk work through Beta adapters.
Yes — its own database and its own database-only user, plus its own files and private module copies where needed. Shared Perfex code is linked to save disk.
Yes, per plan. Reviewed modules are linked; unknown modules run as private copies until you review them. Each module you offer keeps its own licence terms.
Every plan can be billed with Perfex's recurring invoices and your Perfex payment gateways. Plans without add-ons or coupons can also use native Stripe or PayPal subscriptions with signed webhooks.
Yes, when their plan allows it: they add the CNAME (or A record) and a TXT verification record; you can require approval. Subdomains need wildcard DNS and a wildcard certificate.
No core file is replaced. Activation adds one guarded line to application/config/app-config.php (with a private backup) so tenant requests load their own configuration. Health can repair that line.
Yes. The interface ships in English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Italian, Dutch, Turkish and Russian.
