A guide on transitioning to a decoupled billing system, and ensuring PSP redundancy with minimal development effort.
Seed/Series A
Stripe Billing is great for early stage companies due to their ease-of-use and powerful features. But as your business grows, Stripe Billing can quickly become restrictive (and expensive).
Need for global payment methods
Stripe supports a variety of regions, but has gaps when it comes to local payment methods and currencies, hampering growth potential.
Need for pricing flexiblity
Stripe Billing supports several pricing options, but lacks support for sophisticated monetization strategies and bespoke enterprise pricing plans.
The ability to charge your customers is critical. Relying on a single vendor exposes your business to the risk of a single point of failure.
Series B
Decoupling from Stripe Billing
The first step is to introduce an alternative billing platform next to Stripe Billing. Solvimon offers a powerful migration tool that makes it possible to migrate your Stripe customers, products, pricing & subscriptions easily without any engineering effort.
Series B
Running billing through Solvimon
With Solvimon’s billing platform, you can continue to accept payments via Stripe.
Zero disruption
Solvimon is integrated with Stripe Payments, so payment processing remains uninterrupted.
Flexible pricing
Take advantage of Solvimon’s flexibility and customization on pricing models, incentives and subscriptions.
White label UX
Customize your customer billing portal without Stripe’s branding.
Series C
Enable Adyen or additional PSPs
You can now enable Adyen or other PSPs with a few clicks of a button, unlocking new Local Payment Methods. The new setup will allow you to route Customer Initiated Transactions (CIT) to a PSP based on your preferences.
Series D & Beyond
Reach full PSP redundancy by introducing a token vault
Add a Token Vault to your payment stack and import the card tokens from Stripe and Adyen to enable dynamic routing of merchant-initiated transactions (MIT).
Series D & Beyond
Using Solvimon as a Headless Billing System
If you’d rather maintain full control over customer-facing portals, Solvimon offers a headless billing option. This approach provides backend services while allowing your team to build and maintain a completely custom frontend experience.
Transitioning from Stripe Billing to a more sophisticated billing setup doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing endeavor. Whether you choose to implement just the first couple of steps or go all the way to a fully headless solution, each phase delivers tangible benefits while laying the groundwork for future expansion:
Reduced vendor dependency and associated costs
Improved viability for international expansion
Better system reliability through redundancy
Greater control over customer experience
Future-proof infrastructure that scales with you
Your billing infrastructure directly impacts your ability to monetize effectively and serve customers efficiently. By taking control of this critical business function, you're not just solving today's challenges – you're building a foundation that can support your business's growth for years to come.
Approach the steps at the pace that makes the most sense for your organization at a given time. The modular nature of these options means you can take a phased approach based on your monetization needs as your business continues to expand internationally.
