When Sales Machines Need Guardrails
Zaxaa’s great at moving digital product - until someone needs to press pause. That’s where ApproveThis comes in. We’re not here to slow your roll, just to make sure the wheels don’t fall off when refunds get sketchy or enterprise clients demand custom contracts.
Think of this integration as your compliance copilot. Zaxaa handles the money moves, ApproveThis handles the “did anyone actually sign off on this?” paperwork. And because we connect through Zapier, you’re not waiting on IT to make it work.
How This Plays Out in Real Life
Zaxaa’s triggers (new sale, refund, cancellation) become ApproveThis approval requests. No more switching tabs to hunt down managers for sign-offs. The kicker? Approvers only need email access - no extra Zaxaa seats required. Useful when your CFO needs to vet big discounts but shouldn’t have full platform access.
Use Case 1: High-Stakes Sales Approval
Scenario: An enterprise client wants 500 licenses of your $2k/year online course. Your sales team offers a 20% bulk discount. Without automation:
- Sales rep emails manager for approval
- Manager forgets to reply for 18 hours
- Client gets antsy, you lose the deal
With the integration:
Zaxaa detects the custom quote → Zapier fires to ApproveThis → VP gets email with deal terms and one-click approve/deny. Done in 12 minutes. Bonus: Set approval thresholds so small discounts auto-approve, only big ones need human eyes.
Use Case 2: Refund Audits Made Less Awful
Digital product refunds are tricky. Did the customer actually not use the course? Or are they scamming? Zaxaa + ApproveThis forces accountability:
When a $500+ refund hits Zaxaa → ApproveThis pings the support lead with:
- Customer’s login activity
- Previous refund history
- CSR’s notes
Approver either greenlights it or escalates to finance. No more rogue refunds tanking your margins.
Use Case 3: Cancellations That Actually Get Reviewed
Customer cancels their $299/month membership? Zaxaa auto-sends to ApproveThis where:
1. Retention team gets 24hrs to offer a discount
2. If no action, cancellation auto-approves
3. All attempts logged for quarterly churn reviews
Saves your CS team from playing phone tag with angry customers.
Who Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)
Sales Teams
Enterprise deals move faster when legal approves NDAs via email instead of waiting for them to log into Zaxaa. Set up sequential approvals – first sales director, then legal, then CFO – without the customer ever knowing there’s a backstage drama.
Customer Support
Ever had a new rep issue a $1k refund without checking? Now ApproveThis routes those to senior staff automatically. Plus, vacation delegation means out-of-office approvers don’t bottleneck requests.
Finance Teams
Custom approval thresholds mean invoices under $5k auto-approve, bigger ones get VP scrutiny. All tracked in ApproveThis’ dashboard for audit season. No more Excel hell.
Operations
When Zaxaa’s API is down (it happens), approvals fall back to email. Business keeps moving. Plus, calculated fields automatically apply your margin rules – if a deal dips below 15% profit, it requires CRO approval.
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
1. Zapier account (you’ve got this)
2. Connect Zaxaa → Choose trigger (new sale/refund/etc.)
3. Connect ApproveThis → Map Zaxaa data to approval fields
4. Test with a $1 test sale
5. Let it rip
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ conditional logic to skip approvers when Zaxaa sales hit certain revenue bands. Your VP doesn’t need to approve every $50 ebook purchase.
Why This Isn’t Just Another Integration
Competitors make you buy seats for every approver. With ApproveThis, your external partners (agencies, contractors) can approve via email without Zaxaa access. Saves license costs and reduces onboarding friction.
Other platforms can’t handle multi-stage approvals that adapt in real-time. Example: A Zaxaa sale triggers an approval that first checks inventory (via connected API), then routes to legal if custom contracts are needed, then finally to billing. All before the customer finishes checkout.
Bottom Line
Zaxaa’s the engine, ApproveThis is the guardrails. Together, they let you scale sales ops without imploding from compliance issues or decision bottlenecks.
