How to Turn Payments Into a Growth Lever: Reduce Processing Costs and Recover More Revenue

In this session, I break down the practical levers you can use to reduce payment processing costs, improve authorization rates, recover failed payments, and increase subscription revenue—without relying solely on acquiring more customers.

You’ll learn how to think about:

• Payment economics: where processing costs come from and how to reduce them

• Authorization rates: why legitimate payments fail and how to recover more of them

• Routing & orchestration: when multiple processors, local acquiring, and smarter routing matter

• Involuntary churn: how retries, dunning, payment updates, and recovery flows protect recurring revenue

• Global payments: how payment methods, currencies, and local optimization affect conversion

• Measurement: the metrics growth and monetization teams should actually monitor

This is designed for Growth, Product, Monetization, Payments, and Subscription leaders who want to find revenue that is already sitting inside their existing payment funnel.
