Welcome to the Rob Clegg blog. The digital transaction field is getting more and more crowded. Sure, there are industry standards like PayPal. But small business owners have a lot of digital payment options when it comes to accepting payments from your customers and clients.

In 2018, 8 billion people around the world purchased goods online, according to data from market research firm Statista and fifty-three percent of online shoppers prefer to pay with their credit cards, data compiled by Shopify. Digital payment systems, such as Apple Pay, are at a close second of 43%, while 39% of shoppers use their debit cards. 

Contactless payments are not only simple, but they’re also fast, allowing you to reduce your checkout time. Whether it's shopping or ordering a pizza at home, customers increasingly prefer digital payment. 

According to  finance industry veteran Rob Clegg, contactless payment options are becoming increasingly popular because they guarantee the necessary distance between cashier and customer and are an excellent alternative to handling physical money.

With mobile payments you can carry out transactions directly from your smartphone. As a merchant, encouraging and being able to offer different payment solutions is definitely an advantage. When deciding which digital payment options your company will adopt, consider what your needs are and then pick the service that suits those needs.

Offering your customers different payment methods increases your business revenue. Today's digital payments are more convenient and faster, greatly improving the payment experience for everyone.
