This trend is expected to continue even after it ends. In response to customers’ changing preferences, merchants are increasingly using digital wallets and other payment options.
Q: How will cannabis payments processing evolve in the future?
John Smith: We believe technology will continue to improve cannabis payment processing and that consumers’ preferences will change. We anticipate more innovation in the field of digital payments with the adoption blockchain technology and other decentralized systems. We expect to see more collaboration among payment processors, banks, as well as other financial institutions, to provide better services for cannabis industry.
Q: What are some of industry’s challenges and how can they best be solved?
