We’re introducing three updates to help fintechs launch products and grow internationally more easily: simpler payout management with Stripe Global Payouts, support for stablecoin cards in more countries, and unified APIs for building global financial products.
Applications rely on current Stripe data to fulfill orders, update customer accounts, and manage access to paid features. Until now, developers have had to build and maintain custom integrations to keep application databases in sync with Stripe. We’re introducing real-time sync to Postgres for Stripe Data Pipeline, which lets them keep databases current without having to build custom integrations.
Building meaningful business relationships is easier when trust comes first. While cold outreach can help you connect with new prospects, warm introductions often create stronger connections, better conversations, and more opportunities for growth. What Is a Warm Introduction? A warm introduction happens when someone who already knows both parties connects them. This could be a colleague introducing you to a potential client, a satisfied customer recommending your business, or a professional contact connecting you with a valuable partner. Unlike cold outreach, where you approach someone who ma
As usage, costs, and customer expectations change, AI companies are moving beyond traditional SaaS pricing. Leaders at Monetize 2026 shared how they’re combining subscriptions with usage-based billing, building spend controls into products, adapting packaging and value metrics, and making pricing readable for both human and AI buyers.
A strong referral network isn’t just a long list of contacts. It’s a group of people who know what you do, trust your work, and feel confident recommending you . The right network can create a steady flow of warm leads, partnerships, and new opportunities. Here’s how to build one that actually produces results. 1. Start With the Right People Focus on quality rather than quantity. Connect with customers, business owners, professionals, partners, and industry contacts who share your target audience or understand the value you provide. A smaller network of trusted relationships can be far more va
Asking for a referral can be one of the most effective ways to grow your business — but timing matters. A referral request should feel like a natural part of a strong customer relationship, not a sales pitch. When Is the Best Time to Ask? The best time is usually right after you’ve created a positive experience . Consider asking when: A customer compliments your product or service. You’ve successfully solved a problem for them. They give you positive feedback or a great review. A project has been completed successfully. They tell you they are happy with the results. They thank you for going ab
Sales teams are always looking for qualified leads, but not every prospect starts with the same level of trust. Referrals can help sales teams connect with potential customers through existing relationships, creating warmer conversations from the start. Turn Happy Customers Into Lead Sources Your existing customers can be one of your most valuable sources of new business. When customers have had a positive experience, encourage them to introduce your company to people in their network who may benefit from your products or services. Ask at the Right Time Timing matters. Instead of asking for a
Happy customers can do more than make repeat purchases — they can become powerful advocates for your business. When customers trust your brand and feel genuinely valued, they are more likely to recommend you to friends, colleagues, and their network. Start With a Great Customer Experience Referral relationships begin with the experience you provide. Make every interaction helpful, responsive, and consistent. Listen to customer feedback, solve problems quickly, and look for small ways to exceed expectations. A positive experience gives customers a reason to talk about your business. Build Relat
Token billing is useful infrastructure, but usually a bad customer-facing pricing model. Your invoice should define the value your product delivers, not break down what it cost you to create it.
