When a customer makes the payment without a physical touch with their smartphone, mobile wallet, QR codes, or any other device for the contactless card, key fob, etc, it is known as the Contactless payment method. Various innovations have been introduced to support the trend of contactless payments that emerged in the current COVID times.
As per the report, ‘Contactless Payment Industry Outlook’ (forecast period of 2020-2025), ‘the Contactless Payment Market size is expected to reach $19.1 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 12.1%.’
As per Statista, the digital payments in India touched 35.6 billion Indian rupees as of December 2020 for the FY 2021 and had shown a notable increase from 20.7 billion Indian rupees in FY 2018. The debit card was constant since 2019 and BHIM surpassed in value since 2018 showing remarkable growth in the period between 2018 and 2021.
For your physical store, you might have installed the QR code for ‘scan and pay’ or you might have a POS machine that may or may not enable the payments with the contactless card with the ‘tap and pay’ option. These are used in a routine these days to support the online payments demand from the customer which is also a sheer need today.
This is a need today, however, soon this will become a habit and a way of life due to the comfort, convenience, and time-saving that it offers. Merchants get the benefits of the increase in transaction volume, customer retention, and loyalty.
With the wave of trends emerging, payment service providers have been introducing new and innovative ways by which you can offer the contactless payment method to the customers.
PayKun also has a product to enable the merchants to accept contactless payments at the offline store.
