Virtual Payment Terminal (POS) Market 2021 COVID-19 Impact Analysis, Regulatory Landscape & Growth Opportunities – KSU

With the recent trend of going “ cashless ”, there has been a subsequent increase in the adoption of digital cashless payment systems. Small businesses, in particular, will serve as a vital growth platform for virtual point-of-sale terminals. This is mainly because they refrain from investing in complex hardware and systems, making virtual terminals an indispensable resource for accepting payments online. Virtual terminals have gained their own notoriety with the advancement of mobile applications and the growing need to improve interactions between merchants and consumers. Businesses focus on adapting to new digital consumer behavior by replacing traditional payment systems with virtual payment terminals (POS).

However, with increasing competition in global markets, businesses face challenges in meeting growing customer needs for safety and security in transaction processing. Manufacturers have used this restriction to their advantage by integrating data encryption or tokenization into their virtual payment platforms, thereby improving the security of payment processes. These advances towards a cashless future have compelled TMR analysts to conduct an in-depth analysis of the Virtual Payment Terminal (POS) market. In its new study, TMR highlights the key drivers and changes in consumer behavior that are opening up growth opportunities in the industry.

Main trends that deserve special attention

Digital wallets will remain in the foreground

Not only do digital payment systems provide a fast shopping experience, they instill a sense of security among consumers by eliminating the need to enter credit or debit card details over and over again. In addition, digital wallet companies are increasingly offering digital wallet solutions that are easy to integrate. The e-commerce sector, in particular, has proven to be the focal point for the growth of digital wallet solutions. Another reason for the growing inclination of consumers towards digital wallets is the reduction in cart abandonment due to cumbersome shopping procedures.

Extension of contactless payment terminals

With the increase in the number of services offered on mobile devices, there has been an increase in the adoption of Near Field Communication (NFC) services. This service allows the exchange of data between two mobile devices placed a few centimeters from each other. Many retailers such as Macys, Walgreens, and Target have implemented NFC payment terminals. When an NFC integrated smartphone is located near this terminal, it automatically deducts the purchase amount from the card linked to the phone. This technology also provides additional security, as it uses a one-time code instead of the credit or debit card number. Instead of recent credit and debit card breaches, the future of NFC solutions should shine.
