Why Ecommerce Is Exploding in 2025

The barriers to starting a business have never been lower. Platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Wix allow anyone to create a sleek online storefront in just a few hours. Social platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook Marketplace make it easy to sell products directly to customers.

In fact, according to Statista, global ecommerce sales are projected to surpass $7.4 trillion by 2025, nearly double what they were in 2020. And in the U.S. alone, over 33 million small businesses are operating — many of them online-first or online-only.

This surge in entrepreneurship is great news. But with growth comes a major challenge: getting paid reliably.

The Pain Point: Taking Payments as a Small or “High-Risk” Business

While launching a store is easy, setting up payments isn’t always simple. Traditional banks and processors often:

• Reject new businesses without long credit histories.
• Flag industries like CBD, cannabis accessories, adult products, vapes, alcohol, and supplements as “high risk.”
• Charge excessive fees or hold funds for weeks.
• Fail to provide modern checkout experiences that today’s customers expect.

For many entrepreneurs, payments become the roadblock between a great product and a successful business.

The Stats: How Small Businesses Handle Payments

• According to the Federal Reserve, over 80% of small businesses rely on digital payment systems (credit cards, mobile wallets, or online gateways) for daily transactions.
• Yet, nearly 40% of small businesses report issues with payment acceptance, high fees, or frozen accounts.
• In high-risk industries, that number is even higher.

This creates a gap: millions of new ecommerce stores need payment solutions designed for their industries, not against them.
