The analysis is based on the results of the author’s own survey, including a nationwide representative sample of 1,140 merchants operating in 19 industries. The obtained results allowed for establishing the level of interest in these innovations among retailers, taking into account a number of determinants, such as: the industry sector, company size and the fact of accepting payment cards. The market context and the impact of the network externalities were considered. The main barriers to implementation of mobile payments and mPOS by merchants were identified, and synergies occurring between these solutions were characterized.
