As consumers embrace new ways to pay, sellers are recognizing the ways to accept payments. From contactless payment options like mobile wallet payments to QR code payments, the future of payments is rapidly evolving. 

Customers are interacting with brands where it’s most convenient. Whether shoppers start their journey on your website, through social media, or discover it in person, they’re gravitating to more contactless options when it comes to checking out. Of shoppers surveyed in the Square Future of Commerce 2022 Report, 29% prefer contactless payment methods like mobile wallets, contactless kiosks, or QR code payments.

For business owners, an omnichannel strategy to reach their customers and support those sales with payments that accommodate a multitude of transaction types has become critical to growing their business.
