Online Payments: Risks & Opportunities

Accepting online payment is a cornerstone of entrepreneurs' journey in going digital, yet there are a lot of unknowns and hidden risks in accepting online payment and dealing with card payments.

DBWC members and community were invited to join a webinar that discussed how online payments work, the risks and opportunities to merchants, how to get started and what are the pros and cons of adding an additional payment method.

This session was facilitated by Tarek Ghobar, Co-Founder, PayLink. Tarek is a three-time tech entrepreneur with fintech and e-commerce focus.
