Zuora Announcements

On October 24th, I was co-host along with Adnan Lapamuk of the inaugural Zuora San Diego Community Chapter. We had 5 attendees from CardConnect, Measurbl and PeakCommerce meet at the One American Plaza building near Little Italy.

We have two new groups in the Bay Area located in San Francisco and the South Bay! Meet our 3 Chapter Leaders from Optimizely, BlueJeans and Box who will be organizing Zuora Community Chapter events in their respective areas.

Last week on October 16th, I hosted the very first Zuora Community Chapter at Invoca’s Santa Barbara location with 6 attendees who arrived promptly at 6:00 pm ready to engage in all topics Zuora! It was a diverse group representing some of the largest technology companies in the Santa Barbara area: Procore, Appfolio, LogicMonitor and Invoca. 

This month’s update covers four Chapter events happening in October. So if you’re in any of these areas, join the group and meet some fellow Zuora users to “talk shop”.

Subscribed London is only for one day, and we want to make sure that you don’t miss out on anything next Thursday, October 3rd at the Tobacco Dock.

It's not too late to join us at Subscribed London on October 3rd! Check out our latest agenda.

For customers using Zuora Dashboard, we are excited to let you know that we recently released a new feature that complements the Dashboard called Explorer.

Running into issues with PSD2 and SCA?  We have a new Community group where you can ask questions, get help from others who are running into the same problems and also get updates.

Very rarely can you get an exclusive 45-minute 1-on-1 mentor session with a Zuora product expert, and we’re providing that resource for FREE at Subscribed London. 

After an amazing Subscribed San Francisco this past June, the Zuora Community team returns to Subscribed London on Thursday, 3 October 2019, providing access to Zuora’s crème de la crème in the Learners’ Lounge.

Welcome to the first of many updates about our new Zuora Community Chapters! I’ve got big news to share: we’ve just launched 4 new chapters organized by Zuora users just like you!

Come celebrate our Summer 2019 Product Launch with demos, drinks, snacks and good company.

At Subscribed San Francisco, we introduced Zuora Labs, an area for developers to get an early look at the latest Zuora platform features.

We understand that not everyone could attend Subscribed San Francisco in early June to hear the latest news with our products. That’s why we’re bringing part of Subscribed SF to you in our Summer 2019 Product Launch Webinar where we’ll reveal the latest with the Zuora Central Platform, Subscriber Portal, Collect and more.

This community post will help our customers understand the new PSD2 regulation, how it impacts them, and what they need to do to prepare.

Over the years, Community members have asked to meet other users in their respective locations or roles. To help our customers improve their use and experience of Zuora to solve real business problems, I’m excited to announce the launch of Zuora Community Chapters that will be led and driven by Zuora users like yourself.

If you are the only Zuora administrator in your company, being a team of one can be challenging since you don’t have anyone else to toss ideas around with. 

One of the most important parts of Zuora Collect is the Configurable Payment Retry feature. This video demos how Configurable Payment Retry can be leveraged to reduce involuntary churn.

If your business is constantly dealing with credit card transaction errors and involuntary churn then you’re not alone. Before Zuora Collect, TheStreet had a homegrown credit card processing system that had a 40% success rate. Watch the video below to see how Zuora Collect changed that.

Another Subscribed San Francisco is down in the books! From a Community standpoint, what’s especially notable about this year’s event is that we were able to roll out the red carpet for 25 Community VIPs

We’re structuring this year’s Subscribed 2019 conference specifically around YOU...our users. From our track sessions to the Learners’ Lounge, every minute detail of our agenda is laser-focused on Zuora users.
