Guide: Enhancing Payments Connectivity for Platforms 

Platforms have become big business and it’s a growth trend that’s unlikely to slow. While most people have heard of the big players in the digital commerce software space, there are far more platforms gaining ground in this space and helping merchants of all sizes to broaden their reach, offer great online shopping experiences and streamline their back-end processes. 

Many platforms are now specialising in specific verticals such as travel, gaming, ticketing, and digital goods, as well as within traditional e-commerce. While payments acceptance is a critical part of their offering to merchants, it’s not their core business, and as they scale, the complexity of payments infrastructure can start to cause issues. Disparate merchant expectations, heightened consumer demands, evolving technology, a broadening range of payment methods and growing regulatory burdens are creating a difficult environment for platforms to navigate. 

In our latest guide, we offer some insight for digital commerce providers on how to solve the resulting payment challenges and ensure they can support a profitable growth path as they expand.
