In the news
- Fraud prevention starts before the first payment. One of the more interesting themes in The Paypers’ Global Ecommerce Report 2026 is the growing convergence between payments and fraud prevention. In the chapter “Why Unifying Payments and Fraud Orchestration Is the Future of Ecommerce Security” (pages 72–74), the report describes how businesses are moving away from isolated fraud tools toward systems where security is integrated directly into the transaction flow.

- More payment choice shouldn’t mean more payment complexity. That is one of the clearest takeaways for us from The Paypers' Global Ecommerce Report 2026. In its chapter on Checkout Optimisation and Payment Orchestration (pages 65–90), The Paypers describes a shift away from payment setups built around a single provider towards more modular stacks, where merchants combine multiple PSPs, acquirers and payment methods behind one orchestration layer. The reason is straightforward: businesses want more flexibility, more local payment

Veel accountantskantoren werken vandaag met aparte tools voor planning, tijdregistratie, facturatie en betalingen. Samen zorgen ze nog te vaak voor manuele stappen, dubbel werk en versnipperde opvolging. Op 30 september schuiven we daarom samen met onafhankelijk accountant en Twikey-klant Elien Lefevere aan bij het webinar van Sterk Digitaal over hoe accountants hun kantoorwerking slimmer centraliseren én koppelen.
