Problem: We’re Facing the SaaS.O.S.

SaaS companies exploded in the investor market in the 2010s, soaring to triple-digit valuations. The recent upending of macroeconomic conditions have impacted investor sentiment, and the drawdown hit SaaS companies hard. This is uncharted territory for many SaaS executives, and they must now consider long-term decisions to weather through their first industry-wide recession according to Forbes.

In today’s macroeconomic climate, it’s more important than ever for SaaS platforms to create lifetime value in their product, retain customers, expand their product features, enhance the user experience, and acquire new customers. All of these factors go hand-in-hand to increase SaaS platform growth year over year. But there’s another way: Enter Payments-Led Growth.

All Software Companies Are Payment Companies. They Just Don’t Know It Yet.

The SaaS economy is facing a slowdown, and it’s become justifiably more difficult to grow in a saturated industry. Traditionally, SaaS platforms rely on a subscription model and monthly SaaS fee to grow revenue. Instead of relying on only subscriptions, Stax built a robust, simplified, and frictionless Payments-Led Growth platform to help vertical SaaS companies scale revenue through integrated payments.

Payments-Led Growth creates company-wide alignment across revenue teams—from product to sales and marketing—around payments—a significant, sustainable, and scalable business growth source.

Before Payments-Led Growth

Limited Customer Experience

Without payments, your customers will use a third party for payment processing, or worse, jump ship to a platform that caters to all of their needs.

Limited Revenue Growth

You're missing out on an additional pillar of revenue by not monetizing payments with generous revenue-sharing programs.

Limited Valuation

Investors look for promising revenue growth and customer acquisition to determine if your platform is worth investing in. Payments can be an easy win in their eyes.

Limited Data

Without payments, you have no insight on your customers' processing volume, or their sub-merchants transactions. Using that data can be key in informing your market.

After Payments-Led Growth

Better Customer Experience

Having an all-in-one solution where customers can process payments, view transactions, and manage revenue means they won’t need to jump ship in the era of SaaS.O.S.

Unlock A New Stream of Revenue

Rather than relying solely on a subscription, you’ll see huge growth in revenue by giving your customers the power to take payments on your platform.

Increase Valuation

Doubling revenue with sticker features bundles into one conclusion: Increased valuation and more investors interested in your product.

Access to Useful Data

When your customers process payments elsewhere, you are in the dark about their true revenue potential, as well as other insightful data in your market. By owning payments, you can track key metrics and collect data on your customers’ processing volume, transaction fees, and more.
