Beyond Mobile Coupons: Integrated Payments on the Horizon

Mobile coupons are a booming online marketing category right now. Unfortunately, using them is not a seamless transaction as most consumers still cannot pay for the discounted product using their smartphone.

For the most part applications that integrate the mobile coupon with the payment piece are only available on a limited basis to a small subset of an already small user group. However as they become main  [...]

Online Retailers Tackle Sales-Tax Hurdles

Sales taxes - or the absence of them - are one of the big reasons why some online retailers can often beat out their brick-and-mortar counterparts that also sell online. Simply put, many e-tailers do not collect taxes from their customers if they don’t have a presence in a state.
