Michael Russo, Chief Technology Officer at Shift4, has over 30 years of experience in the hospitality and healthcare technology space, building cutting-edge software products, leading agile teams, driving strategic business initiatives, and developing go-to-market strategies. Russo took the time to speak with VAR Insights about how to help merchants struggling to reopen, new payment methods, and what emerging technologies VARs need to be aware of.
According to Russo: “In general, both consumer and merchant preferences are shifting toward contactless payment methods given the current environment. With contactless payments, however, you’ll see industries using them in different ways. For example, retail and counter-service businesses have relied heavily on NFC payments while restaurants have used methods like QR codes, which can be printed on bills and receipts for the guests to scan and pay with their phones, never touching a payment device.”

- Driven by consumers and merchants alike, contactless payment is becoming more and more omnipresent. Though relatively new to the contactless payments’ scene, Apple pay, Google pay, and QR codes are quickly making their way to the top of the list of solutions your customers prefer.
- But they have been gaining in popularity now that they are an accepted payment method in the U.S., spurred on by the World Health Organization’s recommendation that consumers avoid handling cash and general trends toward the adoption of digital payments. The potential for this opportunity is underscored by a Grand View Research report that found that the overall contactless payment market is expected to hit $4.68 trillion by 2027. QR codes are going to play a major role in that growth, particularly in quick serve and retail markets. Get your low cost solution now
