November 2025 Newsletter

We are thrilled to give you a first look at what our new self-service platform, launching in Q1 2026, designed to empower publishers and creators to instantly set up new subscription or contribution models can do, with no sales agents or project managers required. To put these powerful new tools to the test, we've launched PledgeBear.com, our new direct-to-consumer voluntary contributions platform. It allows individuals, groups, and charities to create fully customizable recurring donation pages in just minutes. Check out the future of self-service capabilities at pledgebear.com

Flexibility at checkout is key to conversion. We're excited to announce that Flip-Pay now supports native PayPal integration alongside your existing payment processors. Our platform's ability to support multiple processors simultaneously means you don't have to choose. You can continue running Stripe, Authorize.net, PayWay or others, complete with Google Pay and Apple Pay, while also offering PayPal, giving your customers the payment choices they trust most. PayPal will be available as an option to all publishers effective December 2025.

We've upgraded our HIVE IDMS (Identity Management System) with enterprise-grade security. Flip-Pay now fully supports Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) to facilitate secure corporate Single Sign-On (SSO) and provide a compliant solution for staff access. We recently showcased this flexibility by integrating the European Parliament's SSO for Euractiv's Pro products. This enhancement also allows us to offer "Sign in with Microsoft" as a convenient login option for your consumers.

As social login preferences shift, we're seeing a clear decline in demand for Facebook and a sharp rise in requests for professional network logins. We're delighted to announce that "Sign in with LinkedIn" is now a standard option within our HIVE IDMS. This is an essential addition for B2B publications, professional journals, and any publisher looking to provide a seamless login experience for their business-focused audience.

We are expanding our global reach by welcoming Orchestrate to the Flip-Pay strategic partnership program. This collaboration provides a powerful payment orchestration layer, giving Flip-Pay and our clients access to all essential local payment processors across Latin America. This means you can now process payments with local providers, ensuring higher success rates and allowing you to launch in new territories faster than ever before.
