In today’s fast-moving retail environment, in-store experiences must evolve as quickly as online ones. Customers expect the same seamless, modern checkout options whether they’re shopping in a physical location or browsing a website. SuiteCommerce InStore (SCIS), part of NetSuite’s omnichannel retail suite, provides a robust platform for unifying digital and physical commerce. But without the right payment integrations, it can fall short of delivering the kind of frictionless experience today’s shoppers demand.

Let’s explore how advanced payment integrations, including digital wallets and Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options—enabled by SensePass—can elevate SCIS from good to exceptional.

The Limitations of Traditional SCIS Payment Methods

While SCIS is highly capable as a point-of-sale (POS) system, out-of-the-box support for modern payment methods is limited. Merchants often face the following challenges:

• No built-in support for Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or cryptocurrencies
• Complex integrations required to add BNPL providers like Klarna or Afterpay
• Fragmented reporting between digital and physical payments
• Checkout delays due to hardware limitations or rigid workflows

These gaps can cause friction at the point of sale—leading to lost conversions, lower customer satisfaction, and poor adaptability in dynamic retail environments.

• Digital Wallets: Accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, Samsung Pay, WeChat,and more
• BNPL Options: Seamlessly integrate Klarna, Afterpay, Splitit, Sezzle and other split-payment services
• Multiple Processors: Choose Your Own and Negotiate Better Fees
