As SaaS startups grow, their sales processes get more complex. Simple transactional sales systems, like Stripe, can't keep up. Seasoned SaaS founders can tell you, the days of simple deals are over. A sales pipeline full of complex quotes and multiple selling motions are on the horizon.

Here are seven reasons why startups are outgrowing Stripe

• Sign and Pay in One Motion: Stripe doesn't offer integrated eSignature. This means your sales team can’t have customers sign and pay within the same process.
• Limited Pricing and Packaging Flexibility: Stripe’s product catalog isn't made for the complex pricing seen in B2B SaaS. It's built for simple, direct-to-consumer transactions.‍
• Trust and a Better Customer Experience: The customer experience will benefit from a quoting and deal signing experience that isn’t disjointed—with integrated quoting, billing, contract signing, and customer provisioning all in one platform.
• Empowering Sales Teams to Shape Deals: Sales teams using Stripe need help from other departments to shape deals, which slows down the sales process.

• Tough to Manage PLG and Up-Market Sales at the Same Time: When using Stripe, going upmarket while using a PLG motion is tougher. This is because entitlements need to be custom-built, which can add to your development team’s workload.
• A Disjointed Sales Process: Stripe is an excellent payment processor. But it lacks integrated quoting, contract management, and customer onboarding features. These are important parts of a smooth sales-led experience.
• Limited Flexibility for Expanding Accounts: Stripe limits sales teams' flexibility in upselling and shaping deals to expand inside customer organizations.
