How we created a complete portal with online sales, checkout, and recurring payments (AsaaS), and why this proves that Kaizen creates startups.
Creating a portal to sell products online is easy… in PowerPoint.
The challenge lies in building a true ecosystem: one with a checkout process that converts, flexible plans and packages, automated recurring payments, a customer area, file delivery, and an interface so simple that anyone can operate it—without needing a technical team on a daily basis.
And that's exactly what we did here.
In this article, I want to share the behind-the-scenes story of the development of this Portal—a complete digital product—and how it reinforces a positioning that Kaizen has been consolidating: More than a marketing agency, we are a Startup Creator.
The challenge: selling products online with a real business structure (and not just "a pretty website")
Most digital projects fail for a simple reason: they are born as "websites".
But a real online business requires much more. It requires:
- Solid checkout (simple, fast and with little friction)
- Product, plan, and package management
- recurring payment automated
- Customer's area
- Organized delivery of what was purchased. (files, access, benefits)
- Scalability (grow without breaking the operation)
The idea behind the Portal was precisely to bring all of that together in one place.

The solution: a portal with e-commerce + subscription + product delivery area.
What we built here wasn't just an e-commerce platform.
It was a hybrid platform:
Individual sale (product) + recurring plans + interface for content delivery and management
This allows you to scale the business model freely: you can sell on a one-off basis or by subscription, create upgrades, bundles, packages, and tiered plans.
In other words: startup structure.

1) Checkout with a simple experience and a focus on conversion.
The checkout process needed to be straightforward and quick.
Here, the priority was:
- fewer fields
- fewer steps
- Clarity regarding the value and what is being purchased.
- Trust (secure payment)
- compatibility with recurrence


2) Creating plans and packages (to scale revenue)
A strong startup doesn't depend on a single sale.
It depends on predictability.
Therefore, the Portal was developed to have:
- recurring plans
- packages by category
- upgrades and combinations
- possibility of new levels and offers without rebuilding the system.

3) Full integration with recurring payments via Asaas
Here came one of the pillars that transformed this project into a "real product".
We integrated the Portal with Asaas to enable:
- Automatic recurring billing
- subscription with configurable frequency
- billing issuance and control
- Automatic payment attempt when applicable.
- Payment flow within the Portal with traceability.
4) Complete interface for the client to make files available (and deliver value)
Another area where many platforms fail: delivery.
Selling is one step.
Delivering is what sustains retention.
So we created an area where the customer can:
- make files available by plan.
- Organize materials by packages.
- Update content without relying on a technical team.
- create access “libraries”

5) Customer area (post-purchase experience and retention)
The customer area was designed to be the "environment" for the product.
A place where the customer:
- View the plan status
- accesses content
- receives files
- historical record
- perceives ongoing value (and continues paying)

Why does this solidify Kaizen as a Startup Creator?
If you look closely, this Portal has all the fundamental elements of a startup:
- Operational digital product
- Scalable platform
- Automated recurring revenue
- Integrated checkout and monetization
- Offer management (plans/packages)
- Continuous delivery of value via the customer area.
And that brings us to the central point:
👉 Kaizen doesn't just promote products. We help create products.
Our work goes beyond just traffic.
We help companies build the structure that makes growth possible — from the business model to the recurring revenue engine.
Furthermore, this vision directly aligns with Kaizen's institutional positioning: performance, automation, and scale.
Traffic without product is just noise.
In the end, the objective here was simple and brutal:
- Create a platform that sells
- Create a platform that delivery
- Create a platform that scale
This Portal is not just a project.
It's a digital product ready for growth — with recurring revenue, complete operation, and user interface.
And it is precisely this type of delivery that reinforces the positioning:
Kaizen is a startup creator.

Artificial Intelligence in Marketing: Present, Not Future
Artificial intelligence is already profoundly reshaping digital marketing — from content generation to campaign personalization, from predictive lead analysis to automated customer service via chatbots. Companies that incorporate AI into their marketing operations today have a growing competitive advantage over those that resist change.
How AI is transforming digital marketing.
- Content generation and optimization based on search and intent data.
- Google Ads campaigns with Performance Max powered by machine learning.
- Intelligent chatbots that qualify leads 24/7 on WhatsApp and website.
- Predictive analytics: identifying leads with a higher probability of conversion.
- Personalization at scale for emails, landing pages, and ads.
- AIO (AI Optimization): Optimize content to be cited by AIs such as ChatGPT and Gemini.
The emergence of Google SGE (Search Generative Experience) and the massive adoption of AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are changing how people search for information. AIO (AI Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) strategies ensure your brand is cited and recommended by generative AI systems—a new frontier of SEO. Kaizen Agency is already implementing these strategies for visionary clients who want to lead in the era of generative search.
FAQ
Will ChatGPT replace Google for searches?
Not completely, but behavior is changing. A growing number of users are using AI for research, especially for complex queries. Therefore, it's important to have an AIO (AI Optimization) strategy—creating content that will be cited by AI—in addition to traditional SEO for Google.
What is AIO (AI Optimization) and how does it work?
AIO is the optimization of content to appear in the responses of generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. It involves: creating authoritative and well-referenced content, structuring information in a question-and-answer format, building domain authority (EEAT), and obtaining mentions in trusted sources that AIs use as references.
How can I use AI to improve my content marketing?
AI can help with: researching keywords and topics with high intent, generating initial content drafts (which should be edited by humans), creating ad variations for A/B testing, analyzing competitor content, and personalizing emails and messages at scale. AI speeds things up, but human review maintains quality and authenticity.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the new discipline of optimizing content for generative search engines (AI). Unlike traditional SEO (focus on keywords and links), GEO focuses on: source authority, clear and verifiable information structure, citations of original data, and presence in sources that AI models use to train their responses.
Do AI chatbots really qualify leads better than forms?
In many cases, yes. AI chatbots converse naturally with visitors, collect qualifying information non-invasively, answer questions in real time, and increase the conversion rate of traditional forms by 20 to 40%. The secret is to configure the chatbot with the right questions and integrate it with the CRM to automatically feed the funnel.
Understand how AI can be applied to your marketing strategy and avoid being left behind in the next digital revolution.
