Why merchants keep coming back
Unfiltered feedback from the Annual Forum. Real attendees. Real takeaways.
Networking at PaymentsEd is my favorite part. Discussing common payment issues can feel isolating at times, but here everyone is motivated to help and help themselves. This helps cultivate fresh ideas to take back to my team to dig into.
It's great to get an update on what's going on out there and what I need to look into and worry about for the near future.
The 101's and 201's have been super helpful for me to have a basic foundation, and the in-depth sessions have been really informative. I've been able to connect with many individuals that have either gone through what we're going through as a company or have advice to share. It's been such a great opportunity for me to learn and network. I highly recommend others come and join.
I've been coming to PaymentsEd for 2 years now. I would rate the network 10 out of 10! I really enjoyed all the merchant-only sessions. Being able to learn about tokenization, PINless debit, and other payments topics we otherwise wouldn't talk about with other companies has been rewarding. It's been great meeting different vendors as well, and in general talking about payments with other people who are passionate about the industry!
My favorite session was the card testing session led by Stripe. It provided valuable insights into how card testing works, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how fraudsters operate. Understanding their tactics helps us strengthen our fraud prevention strategies.
