About

A leading consumer finance and payments provider needed to scale merchant acquisition beyond high-value enterprise deals into the high-volume SMB segment. Its existing model relied on dedicated sales teams and static PowerPoint demos that were expensive to scale and difficult to keep current as the payment plugin evolved. Veltris replaced the traditional sales motion with live, integrated demo stores that enabled SMB merchants to discover, self-test, and self-qualify through the marketplace.

When the product experience sells itself, acquisition can scale without adding sales overhead.

Challenge

Scaling SMB acquisition beyond a sales-led model.

Static PowerPoint demos and a manually driven enterprise sales model limited the organization’s ability to reach high-volume SMB merchants. Rapid changes to the payment plugin also made version control across sales decks increasingly difficult. The organization needed an acquisition model that could scale, remain continuously current, and reduce sales dependency.

PAIN POINTS

Sales-led acquisition difficult to scale across SMBs
Static demos disconnected from the live product experience
Frequent plugin updates creating version-control challenges
Manual sales involvement increasing acquisition overhead

Scalable acquisition. Lower sales dependency.

Solution

Live product experiences built for automated merchant acquisition.

Veltris replaced static PowerPoint sales decks with live, fully integrated demo stores built on each target e-commerce platform. The payment plugin was integrated directly into sandbox storefronts, allowing prospective merchants to experience the actual checkout journey rather than a static approximation.

The demo stores were connected to e-commerce platform marketplaces, enabling SMB merchants to discover, explore, and self-test the plugin without sales team involvement. A continuously synchronized demo environment automatically reflected software updates, eliminating manual maintenance and version drift across platforms.

STEP FLOW

Discover → Explore → Test → Self-Qualify → Acquire

A live product experience can turn discovery into acquisition.

WHAT CHANGED IN THE WORK

Static sales decks → Live product experiences
Sales-led discovery → Self-service merchant discovery
