In today's fast-paced world, the way we shop and sell has totally changed. Customers want super easy transactions without leaving their favourite apps - whether that's email, social media, or messaging. So, businesses have stepped up, selling on Instagram and even sending invoices over WhatsApp, ditching the old-school platforms. But, with all this convenience comes a new challenge - juggling payments across all these different channels can be a real headache.
