# Payment integration

Build, Connect, Get Paid is the launch of the Fremont community—a gathering for local founders, merchants, operators, nonprofits, and builders to meet, exchange ideas, and have practical conversations about how businesses get paid.

Throughout the evening, we’ll Build the foundation of the Fremont community, Connect through introductions, conversation, and a little friendly competition at the golf simulator, and Get Paid by exploring the real payment challenges businesses face.

A centerpiece of the event will be our interactive Payments Machine, where attendees can identify friction across checkout, invoicing, recurring payments, fraud, fees, reporting, payouts, and reconciliation. Add your own payment pain point, see what others are experiencing, and find your “payment twin” to compare notes and ideas.

Come ready to meet people, share what you’re working on, learn from other local businesses, and help shape what the Fremont community becomes next.

The Payments Machine | Find Your Payment Pain

Payments are a system—and every system has friction.

Using our interactive Payments Machine, identify where your business experiences payment challenges—from checkout and invoicing to recurring payments, fraud, reporting, fees, and reconciliation.

Add your sticky notes to the corresponding parts of the machine and discover which challenges you share with others in the room.

Find it: Where does payment friction show up in your business?

Stick it: Add your challenge to the corresponding part of the Payments Machine.
