Juniper Research Competitor Leaderboard Omnichannel Payment Platform Vendors
BASINGSTOKE, United Kingdom, Sept. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New research by global tech strategists Juniper Research found total revenue from omnichannel payment platforms will grow 57% over the next five years; rising from $56 billion in 2026 to $108 billion in 2031.
This impressive growth is being driven by increased adoption from merchants seeking to streamline their operational processes. By combining different channels into a single solution, merchants can reduce the operational burden of payments. The leading omnichannel payment platforms also integrate with third-party services, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions; increasing efficiency. The report highlights that omnichannel payment platforms must prioritise integration with third-party systems that add value for merchants in a tailored way; focusing on popular platforms in their target markets.
