Real-time payments has had a significant impact on the retail industry in the last few years, with the recent launch of FedNow® Service likely to contribute to the further adoption of real-time payments.

According to data from The Clearing House, the volume of real-time payment transactions in the third quarter of 2023 — the first quarter after FedNow Service was introduced — reached a historic peak of 64 million. While the FedNow platform is still in development, the growth prospects for real-time payment systems in retail are promising. In anticipation of this growth scenario, retailers plan to enhance and innovate their capabilities in this field.

In an age where digital presence is synonymous with brand identity, establishing a robust and resonant online persona is imperative for e-commerce success. As the virtual face of your enterprise, your e-commerce platform should effortlessly reflect your brand’s ethos, aesthetics, and aspirations. But how does one translate the essence of their brand into a digital experience that not only captivates but converts?
