Revenue growth is being redefined across industries.
Contents
Traditional growth levers such as geographic expansion, new product launches, and pricing optimization remain important, but they are no longer sufficient on their own. Today’s fastest-growing companies are rethinking how revenue is created, captured, and scaled by redesigning their financial infrastructure, embracing AI, and embedding payments deeper into the customer experience.
This whitepaper from Stripe brings together insights from ten industry leaders across technology, retail, SaaS, fintech, and global commerce. Through expert interviews and real-world examples, the report explores how modern businesses are unlocking new growth by reimagining revenue strategy at every stage of the customer lifecycle.
Rather than focusing on theory, the paper highlights practical lessons from companies actively navigating economic uncertainty, rapid innovation, and global expansion.
You will learn how:
- Revenue growth increasingly depends on payments, billing, and financial infrastructure
- Stripe leaders explain why payments have become a strategic growth lever
- AI is accelerating experimentation in pricing, personalization, and fraud prevention
- Companies reduce friction by embedding payments directly into products and platforms
- Usage-based and outcome-based pricing models unlock new revenue streams
- Global expansion requires localized payment methods and compliance
- Stablecoins and real-time payments are reshaping cross-border commerce
- Fraud prevention and authorization optimization protect revenue at scale
The whitepaper examines how companies are moving beyond static pricing and linear growth models. Leaders share how AI-driven experimentation enables faster testing of offers, pricing structures, and customer journeys, allowing teams to adapt in real time to market signals.
The report also explores the role of embedded finance in driving growth. By integrating payments, billing, identity verification, and compliance directly into their platforms, companies reduce operational complexity while creating seamless customer experiences that increase conversion and retention.
Several contributors highlight the importance of global readiness. As digital businesses scale internationally earlier than ever, revenue growth depends on supporting local payment preferences, currencies, and regulations. Stripe data shows that optimizing payment acceptance alone can unlock significant incremental revenue in new markets.
Fraud and trust also emerge as central themes. The paper explains how advanced machine learning models help balance fraud prevention with authorization rates, ensuring businesses protect revenue without sacrificing customer experience.
This whitepaper is designed for founders, CFOs, revenue leaders, product managers, and growth executives seeking practical insight into how modern companies are redesigning revenue engines for speed, resilience, and long-term scale.
