The ecommerce giant wants to capitalize on India’s huge digital payments growth, but it has to play major catchup to win UPI share

The layoffs aren’t a sign that the company is struggling. The network is reorganizing to push into high-growth areas

The one-click checkout experience rolled out to merchants earlier this month. Adding Adyen as a partner sets it up for growth

This tie-up helps the BNPL fintech keep up with major competitors Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay, which are all already integrated with the payments platform

But usage of the payment option remained quite limited compared with the share of buyers who use BNPL at any point during the year

It’s unclear whether customers understand what’s required for that level of personalization. Banks must bring customers up to speed about how they’ll do it.

This decision will transform the digital wallet competitive landscape, giving players like Google Pay and PayPal the opportunity to catch up to Apple Pay’s in-store presence

The tie-up introduces the BNPL player to a new purchase category, helping it diversify payments volume as key partnerships face risk

The move is part of the BNPL fintech’s efforts to become a super app, and the accounts’ tie-in to Klarna’s newly launched rewards should help spur adoption

On today's podcast episode, we discuss if ‘Just Walk Out’ technology will ever catch on at scale, how different generations respond to self-checkout, and what the next iteration of in-store payments will look like. Listen to the conversation with our analyst Sara Lebow as she hosts analysts Sky Canaves and David Morris.
