Contactless payment
Customers don't want to use cash anymore and don't want to touch their credit card terminals either? So what should we do?
Welcome! It's a new world!
Could it be because this
sentence was reported in the latest Bloomberg article?
"Even with retail stores cleaning more often than ever—if
they’re open at all—handling cash or touching payment keypads stands out as a
major risk.”
Now it makes perfect sense. Interestingly, many merchants feel
the same way. They also don't want customers to touch anything on the
front-desk including POS. Many merchants attached ‘Please use contactless’ on
their POS.
Haven't switched to contactless yet? You're not late
though. It wasn't long Walmart went completely contactless with its payment
system.
No matter how you feel, no one wants to hand you cash or touch
your handset anymore.
What you have to decide is, ‘So I have to change
too’ or ‘How much will that affect sales? I will not change!’. If you don't
change it, you'll probably get more attention from customers. However, if you
are not ahead of the times, but you think you will at least follow them, you
can change it a lot easier than you think. However, if you
think you will at least follow the trends even though you can't lead them, you
can change or prepare the equipment a lot easier than you think.
Currently,
contactless payments usually use two technologies. 1) Wirelessly communicate
with the terminal with a smartphone 2) Shake a credit card using the technology
built into the card near the terminal. The technology used by smartphones is
called near field communication or NFC.
Technology for contactless payment
When making a purchase using a smartphone, customers use an app on their phone, usually using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay. So, no matter which POS you use, for contactless you need to make sure that the terminal you choose can accept Apple Pay, Google Pay and NFC.
Are these technologies as secure
as swiping or inserting cards? It is secure because it sends the same unique
one-time token to the terminal for each transaction. Tokens do not contain card
details, so even if the purchase is not completed and is aborted, the tokens
cannot be used for other purchases. This means that switching to contactless
does not compromise security.
If you haven't yet
switched to offering contactless payment options at the point of sale, people
say you'll experience a gradual decline in sales opportunities. Accepting
contactless payments is now emerging as one of the many criteria customers use
when choosing a Merchant. It's sad that Covid-19 has changed a lot, but that
doesn't mean you should lose yours for a small reason in the world changing.
