Cash Cows
The Tier 1 merchant cohort, with a retention rate of 98% in fiscal 2025, supplies Riskified with predictable annual recurring revenue of roughly $340 million, requiring minimal marketing spend and funding new product R&D.
These multi‑year contracts have high switching costs, supporting a gross margin uplift to ~68% for Tier 1 accounts in 2025, so Riskified can reliably "milk" cash flows for growth.

The United States is Riskified's most mature market, with ~45% of revenue in FY2025 and penetration across roughly 60% of the top 1,000 US retailers, yielding steady low-double-digit growth (~12% YoY in 2025) and strong operating cash flow (~$120M in FY2025). This cash is being redeployed into emerging-market expansion and R&D, funding a 30% YoY increase in international sales spend and a $45M 2025 product development budget.
Riskified's Strategic API Integration Suite for Shopify Plus and Salesforce Commerce Cloud now generates low-maintenance revenue, costing under $2m annual maintenance while delivering ~$48m in gross merchandise value (GMV)-linked fees in FY2025.
Once adopted by partners, these integrations need minimal capex, with maintenance <2% of initial build and 85% uptime, funneling steady mid-to-large merchant volume into Riskified's fraud platform.
