Where do you need to pay sales tax?
Nexus, also called “sufficient physical presence,” is a legal term that refers to the requirement for companies doing business in a state to collect and pay tax on sales in that state.

States finding more sales tax revenueby broadening definitions of nexus
• Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, (1992)– United States Supreme Court ruling concerning use tax. – Quill had no physical presence in North Dakota but it had a
licensed software program that some of its North Dakota customers used for checking Quill's current inventories and placing orders directly.
– North Dakota attempted to impose a use tax on Quill, which was struck down by the Supreme Court.
• Remote sellers can no longer assume that Quill v. North Dakota means they don’t have to collect sales tax.
Businesses need to reach customers quickly
• Manage inventory in new places• Distributed warehouses• Fulfillment by Amazon• Drop shipping
…but, these activities can increase your tax exposure!
Driving traffic through affiliate programs can increase customer reach

Life is Good: Expanding through affiliates
“We knew we couldn’t be tax experts in every state. We needed a company to provide that expertise.”
– Bob Romano, VP of Finance
Chempoint.com: Growing sales globally
“If you have a lot of transactions, you really need to look into automating. I don’t think you could manage your own tax system, in the United States, at least. It just doesn’t make sense in this day and age.”

“Recurring revenue business models are not a little bit better than non-recurring models. They are 10x better.”
– Jeff Bussgang, General Partner, Flybridge Capital

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
CLV (simple)
Revenue per Customer * Lifespan of the Customer
CLV (complex)
Gross Margin per Customer * Discounted Retention Rate

Measuring outcomes – it’s about approval rates
What does an increase of 1% in authorization approval rate
mean for your revenue?
70DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
1M auths / month * $10 * 85% Approval Rate = $8,500,000
1M auths / month * $10 * 86% Approval Rate = $8,600,000
$100,000 / month lift
Approval rates – a hypothetical example
71DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
What does an increment of 1% in approval rate mean for your revenue?
$100,000 * 12 months = $1.2M in annual revenue
Measuring outcomes – it’s about approval rates

“1% - 2.5% churn per month is acceptable. Higher than that, you are filling a leaky bucket.” -- David Skok, a VC with Matrix Partners
http://www.forentrepreneurs.com/saas-business-models-slide-deck, slide 41
73DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Churn – The Key to Longevity
More than 2.5% churn = a leaky bucket
Early on, new bookings outpace churn.
4 years on, churn gets harder to replace with bookings!

Small Moves = Big Gains

Account Updater - 2013-2016 DisruptionSource: Vantiv eCommerce data – 2013-2016
77DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Payments Data That Impacts CLV
Revenue per Customer:- Method of payment (Visa, MasterCard, wallet, direct debit)- Card type (credit, debit, prepaid, gift card)
Lifespan / Churn Rate - Approval rate and decline responses- Account updater participation by the issuing bank- Card type- Issuing bank
78DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Payments Data That Impacts CLV
Gross Margin per Customer- Account updater participation- Method of payment- Fraud check response data
79DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Account Updater Data – Take Action
• Account Number Changed and Expiration Date Changed responses – look for “spikes” that indicate a breach or portfolio swap
• Closed Account – these are not temporary blocks! You’re going to need another method of payment.
• Contact Cardholder – could be temporary. Retry, resubmit AU request, reach out to the customer
80DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Account Updater Data – Take Action
Issuer Does Not Participate – DO NOT IGNORE THIS
Contact high value customers immediately for a new payment card after hard declines
Ask your processor for a list of issuers that do not participate in account updater
81DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Account Updater Data – Take Action
One account update request per month is not enough
If you receive a “no change” response, but get a decline, keep requesting as
you recycle
82DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Stark Differences – Credit / Debit / Prepaid
Ask your processor to indicate for each transaction:
• Credit / Debit• Prepaid – Reloadability, Available Balance• Corporate / Consumer / Country of Issuing Bank
https://blog.kissmetrics.com/how-to-calculate-lifetime-value/
83DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Method of Payment – Take Action
Credit Cards:
• Type of card can indicate capacity to spend• Visa Signature, MasterCard WorldCard have higher
limits
Debit Cards:
Recycle on Fridays (payday!) – we have seen a 3% lift in approval rate
84DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Method of Payment – Take Action
Prepaid Cards:
• Block non-reloadable cards for recurring and installment billing products
• If you MUST accept prepaid cards for installment payments, consider a wallet (PayPal or pre-authorized direct debit account)
• Don’t recycle non-reloadable cards
• Leverage partial authorizations to recoup CAC
85DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Decline Responses – Take ActionResponse Action
Soft Declines Retry aggressively
Hard Declines Request account updates, retry conservatively
Restricted / Lost / Stolen Card Beware of card testing
CVV Decline Remove CVV for recurring payments
87DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
Issuers – What are they thinking?
• Track decline codes by issuer
• Don’t send “made-up” data for AVS or Expiration Dates – leave it blank!
• Monitor sudden drops in approval rate, month-over-month
• Don’t over-react to large approval rate swings over short time periods
• Does the issuer like your MCC? Compare your data to that of other merchants in your MCC
89DIGITAL IDENTITY & COMMERCE TOUR
And what about wallets?
• Unquestionably higher conversion
• But provisioning is key
• Do your users have an Apple Pay account? An iPhone 6? A MasterCard or Visa?
Ask your customers, then implement!
