  • Stax Payments, founded in 2014 and based in Florida, offers an API-connected payments platform with data analysis and customer management for North American merchants and SaaS businesses.
  • APPS, post-acquisition, will become Stax Processing and provide a foundational processing layer with enhanced multi-channel capabilities, better data reporting, and customization options.
  • The new functionality is expected to launch in Q4 2023, with additional developments planned for the following year.
  • Paulette Rowe, the CEO of Stax Payments since August 2023, believes this acquisition boosts innovation and technology, enabling a unified, customizable payment experience.
