Consider channel preferences
Prepare for a shift in the mix of in-person, phone, ecommerce, partner/distributor and other sales. How can you take advantage of these shifts? Look for new channels to open. Study shopping and buying approaches that can be carried out remotely or with social distancing and mask, gloves and sanitization.
Merchant services can support payment by card for ecommerce—and do so with contactless payment, a requirement for customers during social distancing. Electronic transfers like PayPal can make payment easy. Remote buying can minimize cash handling and contact for those buying in person.
