Is your payment service provider holding your business back?

An online shopper reaches the checkout stage with a full cart. They go to pay but their usual method isn’t listed. They hesitate, then open a new tab to check a competitor’s site. They don’t come back. Many merchants judge their payment setup solely on whether it works. Payments go through, refunds are processed. On paper, everything looks fine.

How successful beauty brands win with seamless purchase experiences —from checkout to after-sales

The most successful beauty brands don’t consider checkout and after-sales as separate elements of the customer journey. They consider it to be one connected and seamless experience. And it’s that shift in thinking that separates brands with strong repeat purchase rates from those that continually have to reacquire customers they’ve already won.

Refund transparency: The most underestimated driver for fashion customer loyalty

In fashion retail, refunds are a fact of life. So, what if your brand could transform its refund process from a necessary hassle into a driver for fashion customer loyalty? The answer is refund transparency.

How Haibu Simplified B2B Purchasing with Riverty’s Monthly Invoice

Professional buyers order often, in varying amounts, at whatever hour the working day allows. For the merchants who supply them, every one of those orders traditionally comes with a payment moment attached. Haibu, a supplier to professional hairdressers and salons, saw how much friction that added up to – and worked with Riverty to remove it. With Riverty’s Monthly Invoice, Haibu’s customers now consolidate all their purchases into a single invoice at the end of the month.

The €300 Problem: Why Home & Garden Merchants Are Losing Sales They’ve Already Won

The customer found the garden sofa. They spent 20 minutes on the product page. They opened the size guide, checked the reviews, shortlisted the colour. Then they closed the tab. Not because they didn’t want it, but because €890 due immediately felt like too much of a decision to make in one click.

CCD2 is sorted. Now ask the harder questions

A new regulation has landed in Germany. For most BNPL providers, it means new compliance steps, additional verification, and changes to the checkout experience. For merchants using Riverty’s 14-day invoice, the situation is currently simpler – this product is temporarily exempt from these requirements, so the checkout experience stays as it is; no additional friction, no new steps for your customers. For merchants in Germany, it’s a concrete advantage at a moment when competitors are adding steps.

Fintech 2040: DeFi and the Future of Payments

More real-time, more automation, and more decisions directly within the payment flow. DeFi stands for decentralized finance—financial functions executed via programmable digital networks, wallets, and smart contracts rather than exclusively through traditional, closed banking and payment infrastructures.

Agentic Commerce: How Autonomous Agents Reshape Payments and Strengthen Trust

Agentic commerce is changing how people buy online. Instead of making every decision themselves, consumers increasingly rely on AI-powered agents to compare options, manage budgets, and even select how to pay.

Why Loyalty Is Built On Clarity During And After Checkout

In beauty ecommerce, the relationship between a brand and its customer doesn’t end at checkout. It’s tested there – and then again in everything that follows. Whether a customer returns for their next skincare order or quietly switches to a competitor often has less to do with the product itself than with how confident they felt throughout the payment journey. Clarity – at checkout and beyond – is what builds that confidence. And in a category where repurchase behaviour drives the majority of revenue, it’s one of the most underused loyalty levers available to merchants.
