Embedded Payments Built for Growing SaaS Platforms
The Challenge
SaaS companies rely on recurring revenue - but managing subscriptions, billing logic, and payment infrastructure can become complex as you scale.
Today's software users expect far more than basic payment processing.
They want to onboard quickly, send invoices, collect recurring payments, manage payment methods and track payment status without leaving your platform.
For SaaS businesses, building all of this internally requires significant development, compliance and ongoing operational resources.
As your platform grows, payments become much more than transaction processing. You'll need infrastructure that supports:
-
- Embedded merchant onboarding
-
- Card payments and direct debit
-
- Recurring and variable billing
-
- Failed payment recovery
-
- Automated reconciliation
-
- Real-time payment visibility
-
- Merchant management
-
- Reporting and operational controls
-
- PCI-compliant infrastructure
-
- Future PayFac capabilities
Choosing the right infrastructure early helps you avoid costly redevelopment later.

Impeccable customer service + technical wizardry. Onboarding was a breeze with clear and straightforward instructions. The portal is refreshingly well made and easy to use. Being able to send pre-approvals to collect payment information is great for us so we don't waste time setting clients up for payment and most importantly reconciliations are done automatically via the terrific Xero integration! If you are looking to take the next step with your business' billing solutions, I highly recommend you give Pinch a go - their system and workflows mesh so well with ours that it's opened so many possibilities with us to further improve our processes and in some cases even think about new pricing models.
Moe, Online Marketing Gurus
Signed up as I wanted another payment option for my clients and was surprised how easy the app is to use. The flexibility it gives my clients on payments is awesome.
Monika, Ashawed Accounting
Forced into looking for a change by a sudden decision by the existing provider to charge a minimum monthly fee which was 4 times what I had been paying I found and implemented Pinch. Super easy to set up and no hidebound bureaucracy such as encountered from banks. Have been using Pinch for 6 weeks and no issues to date. Particularly like the way it collects monthly subscriptions without any interaction from me. Data flows to Xero accurately and in a timely way. Would thoroughly recommend.
Stella, 1 to 1 Mobile Computer Training
The team at Pinch have been amazing and I couldn't recommend them more highly. Paul and Bill have been great in helping me setup the payments system and integrate it into my business. Always available to help and quick to pick up the phone. Thanks Pinch
David, StudentPay
We have recently signed up with Pinch and can't believe how easy and efficiently it integrated with Xero accounts. Also love the auto-reconcile of payment fees. Pinch also makes it very easy for our clients to pay their bills. Thank you Blake for all your help. We would definitely recommend Pinch!
Valerie, Infinite Print
We've tried and tested out dozens of payment solutions over the years at Digit both with our business, and in helping other businesses move to digital payments. The team at Pinch have been amazing at finding technical solutions to meet bespoke needs. They've helped us leverage their Xero capabilities for variable billing, combined with the ability to push in through their API payer details when people sign our agreements. They're the perfect balance of automation combined with customisation, backed by a super attentive team. Can't recommend them highly enough.
