Impact & Ongoing Partnership
Our solution has enabled these women-focused brands to efficiently manage their growing affiliate networks while handling complex international payments between the US and Canada. Both administrators and users now have clear visibility into their financial transactions, subscriptions, and affiliate earnings.
The implementation of the Stripe Customer Portal has significantly reduced the administrative burden of subscription management, allowing the team to focus on content creation and audience growth rather than payment processing.
Our continuing partnership with TL;DR Quebec focuses on technical growth, platform scalability, and implementing new features to support business expansion. As these brands continue to grow, we're enhancing the system with additional payment methods, more sophisticated reporting tools, and expanded affiliate management capabilities.
