Any business that wants to stay in business is going to have to tackle the e-commerce route. Too many people now expect a host of options to be able to pay for their products and services. And the technology is getting more streamlined and user-friendly all the time; many people are now able to function without a traditional wallet full of cards (much less cash) in favor of an app that they wave at a reader.
The use of these methods of payment only increases as the consumer gets younger, too. That's because millennials and generation z are digital natives—they've grown up expecting these options and are quick to adopt technology that helps them track and be online.
That means if you don't have a site that enables shopping, you're missing out on generations of potential business. What does e-commerce look like and what do you need to know? This graphic explains it.
