In 2024, 15% of Canadians are using virtual wallets on their smartphones to make everyday purchases. As these numbers grow, merchants need to adapt to keep up with changing consumer preferences. Enter DCGlass.
A core component of our acquiring solution, DCGlass empowers merchants to transform any smartphone into a mobile point of sale. A faster and more convenient way to accept payments from customers, the downloadable app allows you to simply tap your smartphone to your customers’ and accept payment of their virtual or physical cards. This passes on cost savings to the merchant, eliminating the upfront costs for buying and maintaining a physical POS terminal.
By 2027, it’s estimated that 23% of retail purchases will be made online—so if your business lacks an online sales platform, it may be missing a significant opportunity to broaden its customer base and increase sales.
