Android Payment Solutions Can Be a Game Changer for SMBs

In the last couple of months, you might have come across few blog posts from my colleagues that discussed a range of topics related to SMBs. From preparing for 2021 with technology solutions to looking at other factors that can help SMBs boost business. Both articles discussed a very vital aspect of the SMB ecosystem – their access to new and innovative technology.

Low price points, cheap delivery options, intuitive eCommerce design and usability from retail giants have eaten into the SMB market share. This has also hit the SMB merchants harder during the pandemic. Small businesses have been the backbone of our economy for decades, but they are also the most vulnerable.

Three Common Challenges to Effectively Deploying Payment Solutions in Grocery

If you are an ISV catering to grocers, you know that deploying payment solutions in this environment can be challenging. In a typical grocery store, there are many points of interactions for the consumers, and since these are essential businesses, uptime of payment acceptance is critical to running a smooth operation.
