We're coming at you live from Stripe Sessions 2026 next week. Join us at the Partner Theater at Moscone West for a panel discussion: Designing Embedded Payments for In-Person Services How do you build payments for businesses where trust is built face-to-face, not behind a device? Panelists from vertical SaaS and fintech tackle this question. Panelists: • Tiphany Hall, PhD, MBA, Chief Growth Officer, Aesthetic Record • Travis Brown, Co-Founder & COO, Shopmonkey • Oded Vakrat, VP Platform Partnerships, Sunbit (Moderator) Stop by Booth #603 right next to the Partner Theater for great swag and to connect with our team too! #StripeSession #EmbeddedPayments #VerticalSaaS #BNPL #Fintech

Thank you to Aakash Sahney and the Stripe team for the mention. Our partnership on Stripe Capital has delivered real outcomes for independent auto repair shops, including a 30% lift in payment volume, and we're proud to be part of the vertical SaaS story Tidemark's report captures so well

Stop patching together solutions that aren't built for your shop. Working on semis and big rigs requires tools as heavy duty as the trucks themselves. With Shopmonkey's integrated heavy duty labor guides built directly into the app you can: - Access Integrated Labor & Parts: Get accurate times and parts for heavy-duty vehicles without leaving the platform - Search Effortlessly: Simply search for the truck to pull the exact labor times and parts you need right inside the app - Streamline Your Workflow: Move away from "workarounds" and use a system designed specifically for your shop's needs Stop building workarounds and start working smarter with Shopmonkey.

In the world of semis, downtime isn't just an inconvenience, it’s a bottom-line killer. For fleet managers, every hour a rig spends in the bay is an hour of lost revenue. That’s why LTEK Diagnostics in San Diego has built a reputation on surgical diagnostic precision. They focus on analyzing complex systems to get heavy-duty assets back on the road faster and more reliably. By leveraging Shopmonkey, LTEK manages massive, high-complexity ROs with the digital infrastructure required for modern fleet maintenance. They aren't just fixing trucks, they are optimizing the supply chain, one diagnostic at a time.

Tax Day shouldn’t feel like a scramble, it should feel like a check in. For many shops, this time of year still means sorting through receipts, reconciling spreadsheets, and hoping nothing slips through the cracks. It’s time-consuming, stressful, and avoidable. With Shopmonkey, every job, invoice, and payment is tracked and organized throughout the year, so when it’s time to work with your CPA, everything you need is already in place. That way you save yourself the time and stress of digging through documents and wondering if you’ve missed something. The best time to prepare for next tax season is right now.

We recently went behind the scenes at one of Southern California’s most sophisticated heavy duty shops to see how they’re tackling the "unfixable" problems. This crew doesn't just manage a shop; they manage a high-output diagnostic lab. We watched them leverage Shopmonkey's reporting and workflow tools to turn complex electrical data into a seamless experience for their clients. Think you know who they are? Tag them in the comments if you recognize the shop!

Closing out a month of @lifted_rippers with some raw behind-the-scenes footage from the shop floor. Building at this level isn’t easy…it’s late nights, greasy hands, and zero room for "good enough." A massive thank you to the Lifted Rippers crew for letting us behind the curtain to see how these beasts are actually born.

From fuel pumps to transmission clunking, these sounds can mean big bucks. What sound under the hood immediately raises red flags for you? Let us know in the comments.
