Summary
What is Stripe?
Stripe powers payments for online and in-person retailers, subscriptions businesses, software platforms and marketplaces, and everything in between.
Stripe also helps companies beat fraud, send invoices, issue virtual and physical cards, get financing, manage business spend, and much more.
What is Hubspot?
Hubspot is a marketing platform that helps businesses grow their traffic, leads, and sales through inbound marketing strategies.
It allows users to create landing pages, design email marketing campaigns, and track analytics all in one place.
Why Is Hubspot Stripe Integration Crucial for Your Business?
A 360° customer overview gives you a complete picture of your customers’ preferences, behaviors, and needs.
When you have that information at your fingertips in your day-to-day tools, it’s easy to make better and smarter decisions for your Ops teams about how to improve your business.
It’s important to keep this kind of data about your customers because it helps you:
- Understand how well each customer fits into their ideal persona, which in turn will help you tailor your marketing messages and services to them better
- Know if any of your existing customers are being under-served, so that you can take actions to bring more value to them and increase your revenue
- Make sure you’re keeping up with the needs and expectations of your customers as they change over time, and that you’re meeting their needs as effectively as possible
