This looks neat. Can this be a replacement for Stripe for the most common B2B payment use cases?
@sumukhsridhara Hey Sumukh! Yes exactly - we are built from the ground up for B2B!
@andylouisqin We don't currently but we are experimenting some ideas to support checks smoothly. Is that a big use case for you?
@andylouisqin @lawlm We had ideas about using CV to have people upload automatically, does that sound neat?
The product looks so sleek and clean! Congrats on the launch again, this is huge!
@andyzg3 Appreciate you noticing the sleek UX - thank you! And appreciate your support!
@alvinsng Such a big question, Alvin! We believe that Pay Now will be a game-changer for B2B payments, and we’re excited about taking one step closer to our mission of bringing the world’s B2B economy online. What's next in store is continuing to refine pay now, and add more robust support for all it's feature. We're dedicated to building solutions to solve the pain points of our customers. Stay in tune for more on our roadmap! :)
@alvinsng We will do what it takes to help bring the B2B economy online :) Our roadmap is always packed
@davecyen Yes, it's insane how there are trillions of dollars moved every year in B2B transactions and the vast majority of that volume is still offline. Speaks to how clunky existing solutions are for B2B
@jmckellogg Yes :). It has always been our goal to build butter for B2B payments. We started with Buy Now, Pay Later for businesses and were laser-focused on delivering this capability as it is table-stakes in facilitating B2B transactions. Once we conquered BNPL, we set our time to build payments for B2B from the ground up. For B2B, made by B2B (us!) :)
@jmckellogg @alicevdeng Yes, our vision has always been to transition the B2B economy online as emphasized in USV's article https://www.usv.com/writing/2022...
Very cool! What differentiates Slope’s Pay Now product from others on the market?
@jmckellogg Great questions! Legacy B2B payment solutions have inefficient, lengthy, and painful integration processes, while newer alternative solutions do not support B2B-focused workflows! We are built from the ground up for B2B and we have best in class BNPL for B2B product which is the tablestakes part.
This is a game changer for merchants. The opportunity for in-house finance teams is being able to invest more in product and GTM, which is where companies *should* be focusing!
@bfaviero2 Yes that is exactly it! Especially in times like these, we all must focus on our core business. Let us take away the hassle of B2B payments
Congratulations on launching Slope Pay Now! Here's to a successful and frictionless experience!
@usamaejaz Appreciate the support! Yes - exactly our goal. Is to create a consumer grade experience for business buyers. What frictionless means is under 5 seconds underwriting :)
@alicevdeng Congrats on the launch! What are some use cases you envision this unlocking for merchants?
@rickyyean Many! Here are some examples:
- Instead of hiring a large finance and collections team, you can use Slope Pay Now to automatically reconcile and collect payments
- If you're an offline wholesaler that is starting to sell products online, you can add Slope Pay Now as your checkout
- If you're a U.S. merchant but have Mexican clients, you can use Slope Pay Now to accept MXN and get paid out in USD.
These are just some, so much more!
@alicevdeng nice, can I create pay now links for different installments whenever I want?
@alicevdeng @rickyyean Yes, you can create instant links to send to your business customers for Pay Now and Pay Later. You can offer installments, net terms, milestone-based payments, and custom plans. All of this with no code.
@rickyyean @ben_coolidge Great question! Stripe actually doesn't support milestone payments. We know this pain first hand because we were trying to facilitate B2B transactions that require a deposit or paying when something ships. We had to make a dozens of invoice link manually.
Other ways we are different than Stripe:
- We're built from the ground up for B2B. Stripe and other modern solutions focus on consumer payments hence enabling any merchants to accept credit cards. What this translates into product wise means accepting ACH, wire, cross border, etc.
- B2B workflows like milestone payments
- With Pay Now, we now support a comprehensive checkout that can facilitate payments AND financing (which is tablestakes for B2B and something Stripe does not support)
