Case Study: Podium achieves over $3M in payment volume growth with Stripe

Podium enables $3M in payments to local businesses with Stripe & Affirm

Podium, a platform that helps local businesses grow through reviews, leads, and text campaigns, needed a modern way to offer secure and flexible digital payments beyond legacy in-store-only options. To solve this, Podium partnered with Stripe and used Stripe Payments, Connect, Identity, Terminal, Radar, and Capital to build Podium Payments, while also adding Affirm to support buy now, pay later options.

With Stripe, Podium launched a full-stack payments solution that simplified onboarding, expanded payment flexibility, and improved fraud protection for merchants. The results were strong: Podium clients using Stripe and Affirm generated more than $3 million in additional transaction volume on Podium Payments, and these customers were 75% less likely to churn than non-users.
