The Power Behind Digital Payment in Retail

Episode 4 Summary

2021 has been a landmark year for payments. Between the surge in demand for contactless payment options, to the success of “just walk out” experiences, and demand for “buy now, pay later” services, payment has become a critical conversation in the customer experience world. Not to mention, cryptocurrency is the new buzzword that everyone is yearning to learn about. But what can retailers do to determine which payment options and experiences are right for their business (and their consumers)? What technical complexities emerge and are there any tax considerations that executives need to note? 

In this episode, we’ll highlight some of the top trends in payment and dig into associated vendors/players. Then, we will outline some of the considerations, questions and talking points that need to be addressed internally before retailers move forward.
