Having a profound positive impact on your customer’s trajectory is fulfilling, to say the least. Helping your customer reach profitability? That’s what we’re here for. What’s the deal though, why do platforms need Revenew for this? Our perception about this has shifted over the past months. With our team’s deep payments background, we assumed the biggest challenge for platforms was pricing payments. And I’m not going to downplay the challenge of platform payments anytime soon. They are: Maintaining margins amidst unpredictable IC++ fees? Good luck. And solving this pain point is still core to our offering to platforms. But what’s really at stake when managing platform payments? The answer is customer growth. At both ends of the payment. Buyers and sellers. Needless to say, the stakes are huge. To butcher a quote from Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises: the rollout of embedded payments has happened "Gradually, and then Suddenly" for platform businesses. Well, here are just a few examples to paint the picture: ?? Squarespace: Once only enabled users to build websites - now allows users to also take payments for products or services offered on their websites. ?? Noovy: Once only enabled users to manage their hotel operations like room management, checkin etc. through a single platform - now also includes taking payments for bookings or on-site. What this meant from a business model perspective? Well, most platforms operated on a subscription model, usually offering a couple of modules, which in their composition made up a specific package. Payments was thus a new module offered to customers and paid for as part of an overall subscription package. Great. But the issue many platforms come to realise when selling payments to their customers is this: they want to offer the best price for payments, but don’t really know the cost of these payments. Because the payments ecosystem, starting with the card networks and the banks, all the way to PSPs, makes this extremely difficult. IC++ pricing is a beast of complexity and we’ve covered this at length on our blog, if you’d like to learn more. So as a result, more often than not, platforms plugging into Revenew for the first time realise that they’ve been losing money on many or most of their embedded payments, with profound impacts on their bottom lines. Making selling payments more of a risk than an opportunity. Just look at how we have helped Dockwa in a relatively short space of time (link to the full case study in the comments). What’s next? We’re empowering sales teams to sell payments with confidence. Embedded Payments has been all the rage for the past couple of years, yet it’s often not included in sales compensation strategies. For the reasons I’ve just mentioned. Today, it’s expected of a platform to offer embedded payments. It’s about time platforms are empowered to sell them with confidence. #payments #stripe #adyen #fiserv #airwallex #embeddedpayments
