As any retailer knows, in today's society, the customer is always right; and is increasingly more demanding in terms of what they expect when making purchase decisions. The customer now wants to be able to start, continue and complete their purchases anytime, anywhere and anyhow. Our online society facilitates purchase decisions being made, verified, reconsidered, amended or reversed, in any situation and through any possible channel, or indeed a mixture of many. As a result, providing a seamless payment experience that can follow the customer along their journey across the plethora of touch points is essential for a merchant to succeed in the marketplace.
