Professional services SaaS payment technology

Compliant surcharging

Offset the cost of high-ticket invoices and increase professional services margins with compliant surcharging through Stax Connect. We natively handle the mechanics and disclosures required for legal surcharging, with built-in guardrails to keep your merchants compliant.

Recurring billing & retainers

Our recurring billing infrastructure is tailored to the specific needs of professional services teams, featuring automated card-on-file billing for credit and ACH payments and an account updater add-on to aid in expired card churn. We’re experienced in legal trust-funded retainers, monthly client advisory services and bookkeeping retainers, agency retainers, and more.

Digital invoicing

Easily embed digital invoicing capabilities (email, SMS, client portals) directly into your SaaS professional services platform. We offer card-on-file technology for automated invoice collection, as well as omni-channel and portal integration, allowing you to natively embed hosted payment links, virtual terminals, and secure client portals into your software for easy online invoice payments.

Simplified API

The Stax Connect API allows SaaS companies to integrate payments in days, not months. Our simplified API shrinks the engineering workload, offering an ease of integration that frees your team to focus on building a better billing experience, not embedding payments.

Trust/IOLTA-compliant payments

Stax Connect’s reporting surfaces funding account details for each transaction, allowing law firms to verify deposits and debits for trust vs. operating accounts. Our strong IOLTA guardrails ensure zero commingling by strictly preventing any debits from trust accounts.

Security and compliance

We are fully PCI DSS v4.0 compliant. Stax Connect is designed to offload technical and regulatory burdens, such as compliant surcharging, KYC and AML compliance, and underwriting risk management, allowing ISVs to minimize their PayFac scope while still securely monetizing payments.
