Section 01
Deal Qualification
Is FlexiCart the right deal? What's our entry strategy?
Multi-PSP Complexity
3 separate integrations (Stripe, dLocal, PayU) across 18 countries. 3 codebases. 3 PCI audits. 3 reconciliation processes. This is exactly the problem orchestration solves.
Active Approval Rate Pain
Mexico 68%, Colombia 65%, Argentina 61%. dLocal says "that's normal." It's not — it's cross-border processing, which Yuno fixes with local acquiring.
Payment-Failure Churn
18% of subscriber churn from failed recurring payments. Smart retry + local routing = direct churn reduction. Resonates with both Priya (approval rates) and Laura (cost).
Genuine 90-Day Urgency
dLocal contract expires in 90 days. CFO-mandated payments review. This is real urgency — not manufactured. The window is open right now.
📈
Compounding Growth
$840M GMV at 40% YoY. By Year 3: ~$1.6B. Yuno's orchestration fee compounds with every dollar of growth — this is a $4–8M TCV deal.
🎯
Engineering Bandwidth Constraint
22-person dev team stretched thin. Reducing from 3 integrations to 1 frees ~2 FTE-equivalents. New markets: 4 months → 2–3 weeks. David's ROI story.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGY
Phase 1 — NOW
LatAm + SEA Optimization
Replace dLocal & PayU · $118M GMV · 10 countries · Stripe untouched
Entry Point ✓
Phase 2 — Month 9+
North America Expansion
Once ROI proven · $655M+ GMV · Right-of-first-negotiation in contract
TBD after proof
Laura (CFO) explicitly said "don't touch Stripe." David trusts Stripe's API. Starting with LatAm/SEA wins Laura's budget, reduces David's risk, and gives Priya a fast approval rate win — all before the dLocal deadline.

Section 02
Stakeholder Strategy
Three stakeholders. Three deals to win. Click each to see the tailored pitch.
"Can you actually improve our approval rates in Mexico and Colombia? dLocal keeps saying 68% is industry standard."
🎯
Her #1 Priority
Approval rate optimization. 14 months of "that's normal for cross-border" has her ready to switch. She just needs proof Yuno can actually deliver — not promises.
The Core Message
68% in Mexico is normal for cross-border merchants. Yuno connects FlexiCart to locally-domiciled acquirers — Mexican banks trust local entities. That's the structural fix dLocal cannot offer.
🛡️
Her Concern
Migration risk. "We can't afford downtime." Answer: shadow mode for 2–4 weeks before any live traffic switches. She controls every go/no-go decision.
🏆
The Close
Offer contractual approval rate SLAs with fee credits if missed. dLocal offers "improvement projects." Ask dLocal to match our SLA guarantee in writing. They won't.
"Why should I rip out integrations that took years to build? Stripe's orchestration pitch means we keep the API we know."
⚙️
His #1 Priority
Developer experience and team bandwidth. 22 engineers stretched thin. He needs to know Yuno is worth 15–20 dev-days — and that Stripe's "free" orchestration isn't actually neutral.
🔑
The Core Message
Yuno doesn't rip out Stripe. Phase 1 replaces dLocal and PayU only. Stripe stays live. Zero North American code touched. Then: Stripe is a PSP — its orchestration routes to its own rails. Yuno is pure software. We're neutral.
💡
ROI for His Team
2 fewer codebases. 2 fewer PCI audits. Reconciliation from 3 dashboards → 1. New markets: 3–4 months → 2–3 weeks. ~2 FTE-equivalents freed up.
🏆
The Close
Week 1: live sandbox routing demo with our SE. Show a Mexican transaction going to a local acquirer vs. cross-border. He built payment systems — he'll understand immediately. Let the API speak, don't sell.
"How much money do you save us, and how fast? I need a path to 2.5% of GMV. Don't tell me to rip out Stripe."
💰
Her #1 Priority
Unit economics for Series C. Processing at 3.1% of GMV. Target: 2.5%. She needs cost savings now, not approval rate theory — but the combined story is $2M net Year 1.
📊
The Core Message
Phase 1 doesn't touch Stripe. LatAm/SEA only. Year 1: ~$2M net impact ($1M cost savings + $0.9M recovered revenue + $0.5M churn reduction, minus ~$590K Yuno fees). Full payback before Series C closes.
🛡️
Her Concern
Migration risk to her budget and timeline. Answer: 90-day exit clause. ~15–20 engineering days total. Conservative ROI model. And position this as a Series C story — clean unit economics heading into fundraising.
🏆
The Close
Week 2: Yuno VP/CEO 30-min call with Laura — CFO-to-CFO. She needs to trust Yuno's stability. Frame the deal as: "Investors will ask why you're losing 35% of Mexican customers at checkout. This fixes it."

*dLocal rumored to discount Brazil cards → 3.4%, Mexico cards → 3.7%. Even then, Yuno is cheaper — and dLocal's discount does nothing for approval rates.

Section 04
Approval Rate Analysis
The structural problem dLocal cannot fix with a discount — and how Yuno solves it.
The Root Cause: dLocal routes FlexiCart's LatAm transactions cross-border (through their US entity). Mexican, Colombian, and Brazilian issuing banks trust local acquirers far more than foreign ones — they apply extra scrutiny to cross-border transactions. Yuno connects FlexiCart to locally-domiciled acquirers in each market. Issuers treat local acquirers like local businesses. That's the fix.

David Chen — CTO
Technical Gatekeeper
"Stripe is offering orchestration for free and we love their API. Why migrate to Yuno?"
↳ Response

Stripe's API is excellent — I won't argue that. But Stripe's orchestration is a PSP feature, not neutral software. When Yuno routes a transaction, we optimize for FlexiCart's approval rate and cost. When Stripe routes, they optimize for their own network economics. That's not a conspiracy — it's their business model.

Concrete problem: Stripe's orchestration has no local acquiring in LatAm. You'd still need dLocal or a replacement for Brazil/Mexico — still three vendors, three codebases, three PCI audits. The "free" is a retention play to keep your $655M on their rails.

Ask Stripe this: "What local acquirers do you connect to in Mexico? What approval rate SLAs do you offer?" Watch what happens.

Laura Mendes — CFO
Economic Buyer
"ROI doesn't justify migration effort. These integrations work. What if something breaks?"
↳ Response

The integrations that "work" are declining 27–39% of customers who want to pay. That's not working — it's leaking. But migration risk is real, which is exactly why we de-risk it: Yuno runs in shadow mode for 2–4 weeks before any live traffic switches.

90-day termination-for-cause clause — if we miss migration KPIs, you exit with zero penalty. Engineering exposure: 15–20 person-days. That's it.

At $2M net Year 1 impact vs. ~$590K in Yuno fees, the payback lands before your Series C closes. Investors will ask why you're losing 35% of Mexican customers at checkout — this is the answer.

Priya Kapoor — VP Payments
Champion
"dLocal is promising approval rate improvements if we renew. How do I know Yuno actually delivers?"
↳ Response

dLocal's promise is structurally impossible to keep. They route cross-border — through their US entity — and Mexican issuing banks trust foreign acquirers less. A discount doesn't fix the routing architecture.

Yuno connects FlexiCart to locally-domiciled acquirers in Mexico — entities registered with CNBV that issuers treat like local businesses. That's a different acquiring relationship, not a configuration change.

Two offers: Reference calls with two Yuno LatAm customers who made this exact migration. And contractual approval rate SLAs with fee credits if we miss them. Ask dLocal to put the same thing in writing. They won't.

Competitive Threat
"Yuno is younger than Stripe or dLocal. What if they get acquired or run out of funding?"
↳ Response

Fair question — deserves a direct answer. Yuno is well-funded with strong investors and growing enterprise TPV. I won't claim Stripe's balance sheet because that would be dishonest.

But the real risk isn't acquisition — it's data portability. If anything happened to Yuno, payment data, tokenization, and routing configs travel with FlexiCart. Our APIs are documented and your data is yours.

dLocal is a publicly traded company under margin pressure. 14 months of "that's normal for cross-border merchants" is the answer of a vendor that stopped working for your business. The real risk: going into Series C fundraising while losing 35% of Mexican customers at checkout.

Risk Register
What could go wrong, and how we prevent it before it becomes a deal-killer.
David chooses Stripe orchestration
HIGH · Deal Killer
Week 1 SE technical deep-dive with live routing demo. Ask Stripe to answer: "What local acquirers do you use in Mexico? What approval rate SLAs do you offer?" They can't answer well. Let the contrast do the work.
Laura blocks on migration cost / Series C distraction
HIGH · Deal Killer
Phase 1 scope: LatAm/SEA only, Stripe untouched. 90-day exit clause removes financial risk. Executive sponsor call in Week 2. Frame as "Series C story" — clean unit economics before fundraising.
dLocal wins retention with discount + SLA promise
HIGH · Deal Killer
Pressure dLocal to commit approval rate SLAs in writing with fee credits. Their cross-border model structurally cannot guarantee 82%+ in Mexico. Use that contrast with Priya — "They won't put it in a contract. We will."
Engineering bandwidth delays migration timeline
MEDIUM
Shadow mode minimizes FlexiCart engineering involvement. SE does heavy lifting. Quantify upfront: "15–20 person-days." Offer to scope the sprint plan so David can budget before signing.
Brazil PIX dominance reduces approval rate upside
MEDIUM
Model this proactively. If Brazil is 70%+ PIX, pivot to payment method expansion (iDEAL in Europe, SEA wallet optimization) and cost savings as primary levers. Don't let a model assumption become a credibility problem.
Stripe has volume commitment from FlexiCart
LOW · Discover Wk 1
Phase 1 doesn't touch Stripe regardless. If a volume commitment exists, it affects Phase 2 timing only — align North America conversation to Stripe contract renewal date.
DEFINITION OF WIN
✓ Signed MSA covering LatAm + SEA
✓ Shadow mode live in Brazil + Mexico before dLocal expiry
✓ Laura has approved the budget
✓ Phase 2 right-of-first-negotiation clause in contract
"FlexiCart has a $2M/year problem in LatAm and SEA. dLocal's 90-day deadline gives us a clean entry. Stripe stays untouched. Phase 2 is already scoped in the contract."
