Stash Preferred Payment Method

Improve subscription collection by $3M/month

Overview

Today, the Stash Platform selects the best available payment method from which to collect a subscription fee on a per-collection basis, which means the user’s fee payment method may be different each billing cycle.

This creates a confusing and unpredictable experience for customers and makes it more challenging for Stash to provide fee collection transparency in the UX.

With this initiative, we’ll improve fee collection transparency and predictability by giving users the ability to select a “preferred payment method,”that we’ll always try to collect from first.
