The article explains why payment has become a central part of the e-commerce customer journey rather than simply the final step of a sale. It describes how businesses can integrate cards, digital wallets, QR payments, payment links and online-store tools while keeping the buying process simple.
Background you need
Online retail increasingly combines websites, social networks, messaging, physical stores and several payment systems. The article is practical and commercial in tone, using the payment platform Nave as an example, so readers should distinguish general e-commerce advice from product-specific promotion.
