In-House BNPL: What it really costs in 2026

At first, building in-house BNPL makes sense: control over credit logic, no third-party dependency, the ability to move at your own pace. But the total cost of that control – engineering maintenance, fraud exposure, dispute handling, compliance overhead – rarely surfaces cleanly on the P&L. CCD2 has made that accounting unavoidable. This guide breaks down what running in-house BNPL actually costs, and what your options look like now.

The €300 Problem: Why Home & Garden Merchants Are Losing Sales They’ve Already Won

The customer found the garden sofa. They spent 20 minutes on the product page. They opened the size guide, checked the reviews, shortlisted the colour. Then they closed the tab. Not because they didn’t want it, but because €890 due immediately felt like too much of a decision to make in one click.

CCD2 is sorted. Now ask the harder questions

A new regulation has landed in Germany. For most BNPL providers, it means new compliance steps, additional verification, and changes to the checkout experience. For merchants using Riverty’s 14-day invoice, the situation is currently simpler – this product is temporarily exempt from these requirements, so the checkout experience stays as it is; no additional friction, no new steps for your customers. For merchants in Germany, it’s a concrete advantage at a moment when competitors are adding steps.

How Responsible Automation Strengthens Efficiency Without Losing the Human Touch

The future of finance will not be determined solely by the existence of AI and new technological innovations, but by the way companies shape and use them. AI in finance opens up new opportunities to identify risks early on, make communication more accessible, and avoid financial burdens.

Riverty shows how responsible automation enables preventive, fair, and more stable financial practices.

Agentic Commerce: AI Agents and the Future of E-Commerce

E-commerce evolves toward new directions in 2025: alongside traditional online shops and marketplaces, autonomous shopping agents increasingly enter focus in research, pilot projects, and strategy papers. These intelligent systems will prospectively assume not only product search for consumers but also price comparisons, purchasing decisions, and payments. Initial applications – such as automated ordering or loyalty programs – already represent reality. For merchants, this means new opportunities on one hand, challenges in preparing for this future on the other.

EV charging fraud prevention: expert insights from Plugsurfing and CRIF

Fraud in EV charging is growing in step with the market itself. As charging sessions and revenues climb, so do the risks of manipulation, non-payment, and identity theft. Charge point operators (CPOs) are already seeing the impact – and the cost of each case goes beyond the immediate financial loss. It multiplies through operational overheads, reputational damage, and customer churn.

The hidden EV Charging operational costs undermining profitability

Equipment costs are just the beginning for Charging Point Operators (CPOs). While DC fast chargers cost on average $50,000 and installation often exceeds equipment prices, the real EV charging operational costs are harder to spot: demand charges that dwarf electricity costs, unexpected repairs ($500–$2,000 per incident), and operational inefficiencies that drain resources. Hidden costs are embedded throughout EV charging operations—and the operators who identify them early gain a significant advantage.
