At the recent Inbound 2023 event, HubSpot announced a significant evolution: the relaunch of their Commerce Tool as the “Commerce Hub.” Designed primarily for B2B SMBs, this free tool aims to streamline the opportunity-to-revenue process, accelerating payment times, enhancing revenue generation, and leveraging automation to save time.
Common Challenges in Commerce
The world of commerce can often seem like a labyrinth, filled with challenges that demand smart solutions:
- Paying up: getting paid on time can be tough. We all want faster and clearer ways to handle bills and keep the cash coming in.
- Earning more: all businesses want to make more money. This means better ads, great deals, and a smooth sales process.
- Easy payments: with so many ways to pay, things can get confusing. The goal? Keep it simple and user-friendly.
Commerce Hub steps in as the game-changer. It's more than just a tool—it's a gateway to efficient sales and payment solutions, driving revenue while ensuring a seamless customer experience from start to finish.
Why Choose Commerce Hub?
- Get paid swiftly: HubSpot now offers an intuitive toolset designed to significantly reduce the time from opportunity to payment. Whether you're creating invoices directly from Contacts, Companies, Deals, or Quotes, HubSpot ensures the process is quick and reduces risks of human error. These invoices are payable through HubSpot Payments*, Stripe Integration** (both ACH and Credit Card), or can be manually marked as paid for other payment methods like wire transfers, checks, or PayPal.
* HubSpot Payments is available to U.S. based customers only using a Starter+ edition of any hub
** Stripe Integration is currently in Public Beta and is available to all Free+ customers
- Uplift your revenue: the power of subscriptions! With the Commerce Hub, you can effectively manage, collect, and report on recurring payments. It’s about ensuring every renewal opportunity is seized.
- Integrate & sync: no business tool is an island. You can connect payments with your favorite accounting tools like QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, and Chargebee. It makes financial reconciliation a breeze.
- Seamless automation & reporting: the automation tools in Commerce Hub alleviate hours of manual work, especially when it comes to billing. Plus, the custom reports are intuitive, letting businesses craft revenue and customer growth reports with ease.
