Amazon & Shift4 partner on walk-out checkout solution
Shift4 and Amazon have teamed up to offer checkout-free shopping experiences at stadiums and arenas.
Shift4 has implemented its VenueNext solution with Amazon's Just Walk Out technology for a seamless shopping experience for fans.
VenueNext-powered mobile wallets will be charged for items taken, eliminating the need to wait in line.
The United Center in Chicago is the first location to use this solution, with plans to expand to additional venues in the future. Learn more.
Visa helps to fight friendly fraud
Visa has evolved its dispute program to make it easier for merchants to fight first-party misuse for card-not-present transactions.
The rule change gives merchants more ways to show a disputed charge is valid and authorized, helping business owners keep money that is rightfully theirs.
The change is expected to save small businesses over a billion dollars in losses globally over the next five years.
The change is part of Visa's strategy for fighting all types of fraud on its network while also empowering small merchants to fight for payments they've rightfully earned through legitimate transactions. Learn more.
