In 2024, we released more enhancements across the Omeda platform than ever before. All updates were designed to improve the experience of our clients to help them better engage their audience and drive more revenue.
Today, we’re reviewing the top releases of 2024, and we’re also sharing a preview of what’s to come in 2025.
Let’s get right into it!
Stripe Integration: Streamlined Payment Processing
Stripe payment processing is now available on the Omeda platform. Through this direct integration with Stripe, you’ll be able to accept payments from credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets, and other popular payment methods.
With all payment processes under one roof within the Omeda platform, you’ll no longer need external integrations with third-parties.
Benefits include:
✅ Flexible payment options make it easier for your subscribers to pay
✅ Risk mitigation with Stripe’s best-in-class fraud detection tools
✅ Streamlined workflows for both you and your subscribers

SMS Messaging Capabilities
Omeda’s SMS Builder allows you to send personalized, time-sensitive messages to your audience where they are most active – on their phones. You can set up and send SMS and MMS messages to your audience via Omeda’s SMS Builder, or via Odyssey (Omeda’s marketing automation platform).
Before getting started, you’ll need to set up phone numbers, collect and map opt-ins, and update your Omeda forms. Omeda clients should reach out to their Client Success Manager to get started.

Content Recommendations: More Options
Content Recommendations allow you to use your first-party data to recommend personalized content at scale, helping you turn one-time visitors into long-term audience members and subscribers. In 2024, we expanded your options so you can use Content Recommendations both onsite and via email.
Users can also choose between two algorithms when deciding how to recommend content to their audience: Collaborative Filtering (recommending articles based on engagement data from users with similar interests) or Tag-Based Filtering (recommending articles to each individual based on their past interests).
The top benefits of Content Recommendations include:
✅ Drive revenue & engagement through better personalization
✅ Convert unknown visitors to known leads
✅ Gain deeper audience insights & build up audience profiles

Empowerment Tools allow Omeda platform users to be more agile in their work processes. Certain tasks that previously required a support ticket can now be completed without one! To access these tools, please reach out to your Client Success Manager.
