The current consumers are more empowered than ever before not only in their purchase decisions, but also in the method of payments. Since the advent of the debit and credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and contactless payment there has been a swift transformation of payment. When businesses fail to adapt, they will miss sales and customers are likely to be disappointed.
Imagine a food truck in a popular festival. A customer has already prepared to use his/her phone to pay, and the trader refuses to accept other methods except the cash payment. The result can be that customer walking away. To provide various options of payment is no longer an extra, but a must.
Fast foods, coffee shops and stores run on speed. The presence of long queues as a result of slow transactions or in a situation where there were limited modes or payment is a real push-turn off to a customer. Terminals with mobile connectivity and cloud linked EPOS systems guarantee payment is completed swiftly and easily wherever the company happens to be.
Modern payments systems do not only take money. They have the opportunity to follow sales patterns, identify what is selling the best and provide meaningful information on customer behaviour. The hospitality industry can use this to better plan its menus and till management resulting in better more profitable decisions.
In the wake of escalating fears of data breaches and frauds, companies have to keep data about the customers safe. A number of providers have extra fees when it comes to PCI, increasing the expenses. Security must be included not as a service option. Businesses need to pursue services providers, which offer these defense mechanisms without charge.
Problems do not keep to office hours. Malfunctions in payment systems are a nightmare because each minute that it is down, you may be losing revenue. That is why 24/7 support, the promise of next-day terminal replacement, is essential to every serious payment provider.
The world of technology changes and so do the expectations of the customers. These changes include the move towards cashless societies and the use of integrated loyalty programmes and payment systems must be numerous and flexible, to keep up. Selecting a provider that will also meet future growth will be an investment in the long-term success.
