The the next two years biannual ShopKeep Small Business Index (SSBI) has disclosed that 87% of retailers had noticed little or no uptake of mobile payments at their businesses over the last 6 months. Devised by ShopKeep, a cloud-based point of sale (POS) system that streamlines the sales process, this survey evaluated acceptance rates of this new payment technology across a wide range of businesses including bars, restaurants and shops. ShopKeep remains optimistic despite this lack of interest, claiming this is the norm in the early stages of implementation; however, this will change as businesses and customers become familiar with the technology. They expect 50% of customers will use mobile payment systems within 2016.
