Empowering Alternative, Local Payment Methods to Maximize Cloud Revenue

Cloud-billing offers merchants dependable, recurring revenue while offering consumers a simple and automated way to pay, typically by credit card, right?

Not necessarily. While in America credit card is king, in Japan consumers often pay for their online purchases at a local convenience store. In Brazil, Boleto Bancário is a popular choice and in Germany wire transfer reigns supreme.

Such a wide variety of regional payment methods has a significant impact on cloud business revenue. During this session, we will discuss alternative payment methods that keep consumers comfortable and maximize subscription revenue. By the end, you’ll take away practical advice for optimizing your product pricing strategy with alternative, local payments in mind.
