Description

When vertical software companies transition from referral-based payment providers to an embedded solution, one of the critical challenges is bringing payments support in-house.

Vertical SaaS veterans Emi Keshler and Kyle Scott joined us this week to share their experiences supporting day-to-day operations for embedded payments at vertical software companies, and how to transform payments support from cost center to revenue driver.

We discussed:

  • How support and payment operations directly contribute to payments adoption and revenue
  • Product gaps that create the vast majority of payments-related support tickets – and how to find and fix them
  • Why an internal payments advocate is essential for a profitable payments product 
  • How to move from reactive support to proactive support, and become your merchants’ trusted partner
  • The hidden decision that can drive 2x revenue when vertical SaaS companies get it right
