The document discusses a survey conducted by Adyen on consumer shopping preferences, highlighting insights from 2,000 consumers and 500 retailers in the UK. It reveals that while physical retail is not declining, long queues significantly deter shoppers, with many preferring more efficient payment methods and the option to browse in-store. Additionally, it emphasizes the growing importance of online shopping convenience, with many consumers abandoning carts due to high delivery costs, and retailers lagging in digital innovation offerings.
