What if the majority of your customers added payments?

Say goodbye to adoption headaches

You’re not alone. The average inbound SaaS platform sees fewer than 20% of its customers using its payments offering. Why? Because payments adoption doesn’t just happen—it requires strategy, execution, and expertise.

Simplify signups

Many SaaS companies assume customers will “just sign up” once payments are enabled. When that doesn’t happen, they shift the responsibility to support, customer success, or existing SaaS reps. Payments need to be sold through customer education, targeted outreach, and a dedicated motion.

Price with precision

Pricing payments isn’t as simple as picking a flat rate. Customers are used to different models—interchange plus, surcharges, convenience fees, monthly fees—and pricing must align with industry standards and business size. Using our extensive data set, Forward helps you benchmark and optimize your pricing to ensure maximum adoption.

Frame 1

White-label sales support

Can you prove to your customers that switching to your payments program will save them money? Probably. But can you quantify those savings today? Probably not. Forward’s statement analysis tools give you the power to provide real-time savings comparisons, turning uncertainty into a closed deal.

End-to-end program design

Not all customers adopt payments at the same rate. Forward applies an attribute-based approach, segmenting your customer base to ensure you’re targeting the right cohorts with the right messaging, maximizing adoption without wasted effort.

Will adoption move the needle?

Payments adoption isn’t just another revenue stream, it’s the single most important factor in driving the success of your payments program. High adoption rates don’t just increase payments revenue, they double or even triple ARPU (average revenue per user).
