Stripe Sessions 2025: Unified Commerce Takes Center Stage

An omnichannel retail strategy involves integrating all of your retail systems and platforms to create a fully connected shopping experience.

Transforming Retail with an Omnichannel Strategy

Any retailer who can build an omnichannel commerce environment for their business is ready for the future. Consumers expect the same experience no matter how they shop—online, in-store, mobile apps, etc. To meet these growing expectations, merchants need to integrate payment systems that unify all sales channels.

Unlocking Omnichannel Commerce with an Advanced Payment Gateway

Integrating a payment gateway into your business connects existing systems (like a POS, e-commerce platform, and other third-party solutions) to a provider that securely orchestrates all transactions.

Understanding Payment Gateway Integration (And Why It’s Essential for Your Business)

Payment orchestration is the process of consolidating payment service providers (PSPs), payment methods, and other payment technology services into one global platform. This unified approach streamlines transactions for businesses while optimizing backend processes like routing payments and generating real-time analytics.

What is Payment Orchestration? A Comprehensive Guide

By integrating with a solution that offers advanced payment security measures like PCI-Validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) shaped by a unified commerce strategy, businesses can streamline operations, safeguard transactions, and deliver superior consumer journeys.

Payment Security & Unified Commerce: Perfecting the Customer Experience Together

Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) is the security practice that ensures payment data is encrypted starting the moment it’s captured at the point of interaction (e.g., a secure card reader) and is not decrypted until it’s received by the payment processor.

PCI-Validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE): Why It’s Important

To stay resilient and competitive, retailers must look toward future-ready technology that unifies commerce and unlocks omnichannel readiness.

For businesses aiming to adapt, grow, and stay ahead in a fast-changing marketplace, independent payment gateways provide unparalleled flexibility, resilience, and innovation that all-in-one solutions simply cannot deliver.

Why Independent Payment Gateways Outpace All-in-One Solutions

Implementing a unified commerce strategy and integrated payments provides a seamless customer experience, optimizes operations, gives actionable data insights, improves security & compliance, and accelerates your business in an omnichannel environment.

Why You Should Invest in a Unified Commerce Strategy

There are many players in a payment transaction, with each of them providing essential services to keep the process moving. However, a payment gateway differs from a payment processor and a merchant acquirer, as they all serve entirely different functions.

Payment Gateway vs. Payment Processor vs. Merchant Acquirer
