What is retail?

Retail is a rather broad term. Online retail lets customers buy goods and services from the Internet stores or shopping platforms. To shop online, customers need to use devices like smartphones, desktops, or tablets with Internet access. Besides this, consumers need to have valid payment tools that allow online payments. This might include but is not limited to MasterCard and Visa cards, PayPal, e-wallets, etc.

In the digital era trust plays an important role, so it’s vital to build brand awareness. It takes time but helps you establish strong relationships with your customers. Merchants with a well-known brand (e.g. they have brick-and-mortar shops) can usually skip this step. As people know and trust your brand they tend to become return customers.

Considering the broadness and versatility of retail, every merchant will have special needs.

To ensure global presence, the payment provider needs to offer a variety of currencies and payment methods. The more known payment options shopper see, the more confident and safe they feel. They will also feel more comfortable if it’s possible to pay in the local currency.

To ensure fair pricing, the PSP should have a wide network of banks. This lowers the processing fees.
