Payment Testing for 2027: Are Your Payments Market-Ready?

Payment systems face a new wave of complexity heading into 2027. Agentic commerce is gaining momentum, transforming how people buy, while introducing new risks and complexities. Changing international regulations and new technology are transforming the way that cross-border transactions are conducted. And consumer payment preferences are constantly shifting, with considerable differences in markets around the world. Internal QA teams cannot sufficiently test these payment experiences alone.

Join Senior Director of Testing Services Zeb Winzenried as he breaks down the growing complexity of payments. Drawing on his experience helping leading brands test complex payment experiences around the world, he will demonstrate what a testing strategy built for the next generation of payments looks like.

Wednesday, October 21, 9am PT / 12pm ET / 6pm CEST

• Why conventional testing approaches are not suitable for new agentic commerce and AI-driven payment flows

• What emerging payment methods mean for your testing roadmap for 2027 and beyond
