In terms of payment, the online shopping market has experienced several significant changes in recent years. In recent years, payment methods have diversified and many new payment methods have become available. Mobile payments have grown explosively and a lot has been invested in the security of payments, e.g. regarding two-factor authentication. Online retailers want to invest heavily in a seamless and smooth payment experience and make paying easy. Stores that also invest in international trade have had to think about the well-known payment methods and currencies of the target countries.

1. Who are Svea's payment methods aimed at and what are their benefits?
Svea offers a comprehensive selection of payment methods for online shopping, including bank, card and mobile payments, as well as sales financing (invoice and installment payment). A company invoice is also available for trade between companies, which also includes the right-to-purchase registry service. It can be said that the payment methods offered by Svea are suitable for anyone. However, the utilization rate of different payment methods depends to a large extent on the sums of the orders. Offering sales financing in the online store takes on an important role, especially when the product selection is focused on more valuable products, in which case the customer can be offered payment in monthly installments that suit him.
2. What are the current trends in payment?
As consumers expect payment to be easy, hassle-free and flexible in all channels, in the future it will be increasingly important for merchants to offer their customers versatile payment methods both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. In addition, payment must be secure. The focus of development is currently mobile payment and digital wallets.
3. The future of payment: What should merchants (especially the furniture industry) pay attention to now?
The general economic situation and inflation can also be seen in the furniture sector. From the point of view of payment, merchants should offer their customers the option to pay in installments and also take advantage of various payment time campaigns, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. It has also been noticed that the avarage purschases has been increased with the right installment payment options.
