Quadrant Knowledge Solutions’ Market Insights research provides detailed insights to users about the significance of providing multiple user-preferred payment options.
Traditional merchant payment platforms can be limiting and expensive for businesses, as they often only support a limited range of payment methods, require specialized hardware, and are tied to a single bank. This can result in higher transaction costs, poor customer service, and difficulty in processing transactions if the bank’s payment service is down. Additionally, traditional platforms don’t provide advanced reporting and insights, making it difficult for businesses to gain a detailed understanding of their customers’ purchasing patterns and habits.
Modern merchant payment solutions offer a variety of payment methods through a single platform, including newer options such as digital wallets. They also provide multi-bank connectivity and independence, giving companies more control over their payment strategy and access to a wider range of benefits for improved flexibility and control. Modern payment gateways eliminate the need for front-end re-engineering when switching to alternative banking gateways, providing companies with greater control over their payment process. Overall, modern merchant payment solutions offer businesses greater flexibility, control, and ease of use when it comes to processing payments.
