The Missing Piece in High-Ticket Payments

In this episode of the Merchant Sales Podcast, James sits down with Bob Lovinger, Founder and CEO of FlexxBuy and CEO of Coach Financing, to discuss why consumer financing remains one of the biggest untapped opportunities for agents, ISOs, and software providers. From coaching programs and professional services to home improvement and medical practices, Bob explains how financing can help merchants close more sales, increase average ticket sizes, and create a better customer experience.

The conversation explores the evolution of buy now, pay later, the growing demand for financing in today's economy, how financing fits into the sales process, and why many merchants are missing revenue simply because they aren't offering enough payment flexibility. Plus, Patti Murphy's Today in Payments segment covers the proposed $38 billion Visa and Mastercard settlement, interchange transparency, AI-powered payments, remittance taxes, and emerging automation trends shaping the industry.
