As global online marketing platforms enable merchants to sell their wares, the demand for global payment acceptance solutions is only growing. Empowered consumers, mobile payments, and the bourgeoning U.S. adoption of NFC and EMV are among key trends driving gateway players to seek a future of cloud-based next-generation solutions that can manage intricacies, simplify payment interfaces, integrate channels, and enhance security. The key to this quest lies in e-commerce gateway business models, technology, and products.
"Providers that continue to distribute stand-alone payment terminals as a primary method of merchant acquisition face a rapidly diminishing target market as integrated POS solutions provide an ever-increasing set of cloud-based services at ever-decreasing prices," says Rick Oglesby, senior analyst with Aite Group and author of this report. "Those successful in marketing omni-channel payment gateway solutions will enjoy a solid opportunity—one that will coincide with EMV mandates."
The report references the following industry players: 3Cinteractive, ACI Worldwide, Alaric, Apriva, Braintree, Chase Paymentech, Digital River, Elavon, Element Payment Services, First Data, Intuit, IP Commerce, Linkable Networks, Merchant Warehouse, Mercury Payment Systems, Mozido, PayPros, Vantiv, VeriFone, Visa, and Wells Fargo.
