product, the perfect store design and a seamless supply chain. There
is another element which increases a retailer’s standing among
consumers and that is technology.
Elevating retailers among peers and changing his impression among
consumers are payment, checkout and loyalty programs, factors that
are extremely signifi cant in helping businesses thrive. Retailers today
are working towards fusing loyalty with payments technology to
simplify shopping for the customer.

into payment systems, relying more on technology than ever before.

them for repeat business, and they will keep coming back. Couple
these with cashier-, queue-less checkouts and retailers have a winning
combination.
