In an online exclusive with Supply & Demand Chain Executive, Clarus Commerce CEO Tom Caporaso discusses the importance of Amazon’s Payments Partner Program on the online retail industry. Utilizing its sizable user base to further spread its reach and expand its e-commerce services, the e-commerce giant’s payments program would allow merchants to offer a “Pay with Amazon” option at checkout, making the process both simpler and quicker. The move is a clear signal from Amazon that it intends to ramp up its competition with other payment service providers, like PayPal, Visa, Apple Pay, and others.
