Tips to drive merchant e-payment adoption.
Merchant mobile payments are still not widely used despite the advantages that e-money payments bring, including recipients of digital cash assistance. This includes increased privacy and convenience of paying for goods and services directly through people’s own mobile money accounts or e-wallets.
This tool explains why merchant e-payments matter and how humanitarian/development teams can boost acceptance among merchants. It outlines benefits like security and efficiency, identifies common barriers to adoption among merchants (fees, missing infrastructure, complexity), and provides counterarguments and practical solutions. By addressing these issues and advocating for incentives, organizations can drive adoption, enhance transparency, and promote financial inclusion.
