How are U.S. consumers paying in-store?

Following a pandemic that transformed shopping habits and impacted the subsequent return to in-person activities, many consumers have permanently changed how they pay.

To report on the latest payment habits, Paysafe commissioned a study that surveyed 2,000 consumers in the U.S., asking them about how they pay for in-person transactions.

This piece shows how Americans are using contactless payments and how the product or service being purchased strongly affects the choice of payment method. The data also reveals important takeaways for merchants and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

The research for this paper was conducted on behalf of Paysafe by Sapio Research in April 2022 and surveyed 2,000 U.S. consumers.
