One key topic of discussion will be the impact of decentralised commerce and online retail on payments. As more businesses move online, traditional payment methods like cash and bank transfers are becoming less relevant. Instead, consumers are turning to digital wallets and mobile payments.

To ensure businesses can accept a range of payment methods while protecting against fraud and security risks, entrepreneurs and businesses need to stay up-to-date with the latest payment technologies.

The panel will also discuss the role of the e-commerce entrepreneur in this rapidly changing landscape. As businesses move online, entrepreneurs need to find innovative ways to stand out and provide unforgettable customer experiences. This means focusing on customer service, building brand loyalty, and creating a seamless and easy-to-use online shopping experience.

The Sentech Africa Tech Week Conference 2023 will also look at the role of the e-entrepreneur as well as upcoming e-commerce regulations.

Finally, the panel will discuss e-commerce regulations that businesses and entrepreneurs need to be aware of in 2023. By staying up-to-date with the latest developments and ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations, businesses can avoid legal complications and continue to provide excellent customer service.

To prepare for the future of payments, businesses and entrepreneurs should attend the Sentech Africa Tech Week Conference. By doing so, they can stay ahead of the curve and capitalise on the opportunities presented by the e-commerce explosion in Africa.
