It depends which way you look at it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But on the way that we find is most important is our e-commerce clients.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So what we call the supply side of our business.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So when we're powering those actual transaction side.

Our revenue churn on a gross level for those is low single digits.

So we are net negative churn, if you will, on our e-commerce clients.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But on our advertising or product sale clients, it's a bit more fickle.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Like, you know, whatever product's being sold and whatever, you know, sort of like Google AdWords or Amazon sponsored product listings, people are coming in and out with different deals all the time.

And so the movement in that marketplace month to month looks quite high.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

On an annual or biannual basis, it's fairly steady, but you get a lot of movement by different seasons and months and that sort of stuff.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But we don't tend to think of that as churn, and it's more the marketplace dynamics of who wants to acquire more customers this month and who's trying to launch a new product and who's got a big push into...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

It's probably about neutral, but we tend to focus on the e-commerce side, which is a negative change for us.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I don't think I'd say it here.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So, you know, what I'd say is if you look at the business as a focus on the transaction moment, and we're sort of a, you know, we're an abstraction layer or a widget or an API to rule all the other widgets, you know, in a way to make them smarter to get into the e-commerce mode, into the e-commerce environment or that transaction moment.
