As an independent software vendor (ISV), your customers expect you’re doing everything you can to make their job easier—including accepting payments. So if you knew their existing payment process was cumbersome (come to think of it, your own archaic billing system is, too!), wouldn’t you try to improve it? One powerful way to reduce friction in both these areas is with integrated payments.
These days, more and more ISVs are turning to integrated payments for the incredible benefits they provide. Share on X
There’s no better—or easier—way to create a more seamless user experience that also helps you generate revenue at the same time.
What are integrated payments?
Adding an integrated payment system into your software allows your clients to accept payments, within the software itself. Your clients can easily accept payments and generate invoices for their services, whatever they may be, within the software; and their customers, in turn, can pay those bills without having to leave the application.
Who should use an integrated payment system?
When it comes to software platform development, providing a way for users to accept payments is usually an afterthought. Every kind of software platform can benefit from implementing integrated payment processing. Making everything about your software seamless, including invoicing and payment processing, should be a priority for every ISV.
