Accelerate payments

What is Stax Connect Plus?

Stax Connect Plus is a managed program built for vertical SaaS platforms that want to grow faster without adding operational overhead.

By combining payments expertise, proven adoption playbooks, and  dedicated sales and support teams, Stax Connect Plus helps drive higher payment attachment, faster activation (time to revenue), and stronger long-term retention.

The challenge

Selling and supporting payments is complex and outside the core focus for most vertical SaaS teams. Without specialized resources, platforms often face low attachment rates and fail to capture the full value of integrated payments.

Higher adoption

Platforms see 70%+ average attachment rates versus industry averages of 25-40%

Better customer experience

Payments expertise with sales and award-winning tier 1 support built in

Greater revenue

Higher adoption directly translates into higher payments-driven revenue

How does Stax Connect Plus work?

A typical flow looks like: Stax receives a lead, contacts the merchant to complete the application, submits it to underwriting, works pended items, and supports onboarding and early adoption through a growth specialist

What co-marketing support does Stax Connect Plus include?

Stax works alongside your marketing team to drive payment adoption through initiatives like co-branded landing pages, back-book email campaigns targeting your existing customer base, and strategic outreach programs. The goal is to generate warm, qualified leads that feed directly into the Stax sales funnel, so you’re not relying solely on your own team to surface payment opportunities.

What’s the difference between front-loaded underwriting and deferred underwriting, aka “instant approvals”?

Front-loaded underwriting: We verify the business, owners, and bank details before you go-live (KYC/KYB, OFAC, risk review). Once approved and activated, payouts are predictable, and surprise holds are rare.

Deferred underwriting (“instant approvals”): Processing can start in minutes while verification finishes later. If issues surface during post-approval reviews, payouts may be paused or limited until resolved.
