Why This Matters For Customer Success
Money flows are now part of product value. When invoices, payouts, and approvals run inside the product, renewal risk drops and time‑to‑value improves.
AI shifts CS from reactive to proactive. Agentic workflows catch billing errors, failed payments, and approval delays before they land in your queue.
Vertical SaaS is standardizing on Ops + Payments + AI. That stack is fast becoming the new retention moat.
