Subscriptions are everywhere-from software and streaming to fitness and education-but many teams still struggle to accept subscription payments smoothly. The most common pain points emerge at the worst possible moments: confusing checkout flows that spike abandonment, security and compliance anxiety that slow launches, and cancellation experiences that feel like mazes and erode trust. Addressing these issues upfront turns recurring billing into a dependable revenue engine, rather than a source of support tickets.
The NCAA and online payment service Venmo announced a partnership Tuesday aiming to combat abuse and harassment of college athletes, some of whom have reported receiving unwanted requests for money from losing bettors and solicitation for inside information. The NCAA-Venmo partnership features a dedicated hotline for athletes to report abuse and harassment, education on account security, and increased monitoring. Venmo's security team will monitor social media trends and events during games, such as last-second missed field goals, that have triggered surges in unwanted interactions.
