Why Mobile Payment Solutions are not a Long Term Solution

Why Mobile Payment Solutions are not a Long Term Solution

Mobile payment solutions are not a long term solution. In fact, they can be detrimental to the growth of the mobile payments market in India. The key reason for this is that they require merchants to invest in hardware and software specifically designed for mobile payment acceptance, which is expensive and time-consuming. This means that the merchants will need to invest in hardware and software whether or not they intend to accept mobile payments. In addition, merchants may choose against accepting mobile payments as it is often slower than card transactions or cash payments, or because of security concerns.

What is a Long Term Solution?

A long term solution is one that does not require merchants to invest in costly equipment and software, nor does it require them to take any risks at all when accepting mobile payments. A long term solution requires no additional investment on the part of the merchant at all but instead grants him complete control over how he accepts mobile payments. The merchant has complete flexibility to accept mobile payments at any time, and the customer can pay using any payment method he chooses.
