We're excited to announce a strategic partnership with Obsydian Pay to power payment processing across all Chestnut Mare Systems products. This collaboration ensures that our users benefit from seamless, reliable payment infrastructure built specifically for the needs of vertical SaaS platforms.
Why This Partnership Matters
Payment processing in niche industries comes with unique challenges. Generic payment solutions often don't account for the specific workflows, billing cycles, and transaction patterns that specialized businesses deal with daily. A saddle fitter collecting payment at a barn operates differently than a retail store, and their software should reflect that.
Obsydian Pay specializes in payment infrastructure for vertically integrated SaaS platforms. Rather than bolting on a one-size-fits-all payment solution, this partnership allows us to build payment experiences that feel native to each product and tailored to how our users actually run their businesses.
What This Means for Our Products
For SaddleWorks users, this partnership is already live. Payment processing is fully integrated into the platform, allowing service providers to invoice clients and collect payments without leaving the app or juggling multiple systems.
As we continue to develop BarnWorks and future products, the same payment infrastructure will carry forward. Consistent, reliable payment processing across the entire Chestnut Mare Systems product family, with the flexibility to handle the specific billing needs of each industry vertical.
Security You Can Trust
Obsydian Pay is backed by PCI DSS and SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure, meaning your payment data is protected by the same security standards used by major financial institutions. PCI DSS compliance ensures that all card data is handled, processed, and stored securely, while SOC 2 Type II certification verifies that rigorous security controls are in place and consistently maintained over time.
For our users, this means peace of mind. Whether you're collecting a deposit for a saddle fitting or processing monthly board payments, you can trust that your clients' financial information is protected by industry-leading security practices.
Building for the Long Term
This partnership reflects our broader philosophy at Chestnut Mare Systems: own the stack, control the experience. By working with a payment partner that understands vertical SaaS, we can deliver better products without being constrained by generic solutions that weren't built for our users.
We'll continue to share updates as we expand capabilities and roll out new features powered by this partnership.
