In this episode of Payment Pulse by Clearent by Xplor, hosts Steve and Max unpack the impact of economic and policy uncertainty on the payments industry. They delve into how tariffs—government-imposed taxes on imported goods—can drive up prices, fuel inflation, and shift consumer spending habits, while also offering temporary advantages to domestic producers. The discussion highlights recent tariff actions, including policy reversals that have added to market unpredictability, and explores how these economic forces influence transaction volumes and cash flow for payment providers. Perfect for small business owners and industry insiders alike, the episode offers practical advice on navigating rising costs, adapting pricing strategies, and leveraging integrated payment solutions to manage uncertainty. Tune in for clear, informed insights designed to simplify the complex world of payments.
