Payment Processor Detected

SaaSalyst checks whether your site integrates a payment processor like Stripe, Paddle, or PayPal. Payment processor integration is a strong signal that your SaaS product is actively monetizing.

What SaaSalyst Checks

SaaSalyst scans your page source for payment processor integrations including Stripe.js, Paddle.js, PayPal scripts, Braintree, and other payment SDKs.

Why This Matters

A live payment processor means your product can accept money today. Enterprise buyers and investors view this as a critical readiness signal — it proves you have billing infrastructure, not just a landing page. Products without payment integration cannot be evaluated on revenue metrics.

How to Fix It

  1. Integrate Stripe (stripe.com/docs) — the most common payment processor for SaaS products
  2. Add Stripe.js to your checkout flow or use Stripe Checkout for a hosted payment page
  3. For international SaaS, consider Paddle or LemonSqueezy which handle sales tax/VAT as merchant of record

Why is payment processing a high-severity check?
