Webinar Replay: 2026 Payments Roadmap

Webinar Replay: 2026 Payments Roadmap

Payments are costing you more than you think


Payment failures still cost global merchants between 7% and 15% of revenue — and that gap is only getting harder to close. Rails like Pix, UPI, and FedNow are growing fast, digital wallets already handle nearly half of online transactions, and AI agents are starting to make purchases on behalf of consumers. The landscape looks nothing like it did two years ago.So the real question isn’t whether your payment stack needs attention. It’s where to focus first.

In 30 minutes, you will walk away with:
- What’s actually driving approval rates across North America, LATAM, Europe, and APAC — and what top merchants do differently

- How smart routing, intelligent retries, and predictive AI recover 20–40% of failed payments automatically

- Why local payment methods are a growth lever, not a checkbox. Skip localization and lose up to 30% of conversions

- What agentic commerce means for your business. AI agents will soon buy on behalf of your customers — here is how to prepare

- A practical prioritization framework to guide your 2026 payments roadmap
