From Local to Global: Building a World-Class Local Payment Method Strategy
Description
Local payment methods (LPMs) were once a regional afterthought; today, they are a competitive advantage for merchants who know how to deploy them globally. This session explores the full journey from the evolution of LPMs to the mechanics of cross-border deployment and the development of a sophisticated, market-by-market strategy. Using a real-world U.S. market case study as an anchor, this session provides merchants with a practical, actionable playbook. -

Discovered, Not Erased: How Merchants Win in the Age of Agentic Commerce
Description
AI agents are beginning to discover, evaluate, and buy on behalf of consumers — and that shift raises a new question for every brand: as agents mediate the purchase, how do you stay visible, trusted, and in control of your own customer relationship?
This session cuts through the hype to the tension merchants face: the risk of being reduced to a data point inside someone else's algorithm, versus the opportunity to reach customers in entirely new contexts. We'll look at how the commerce ecosystem, from brands to networks to agent builders, is approaching agentic readiness: staying discoverable to agents, enabling agent-initiated payments merchants can trust, and the identity, permissions, and infrastructure that make it work under the hood.

Break the Silos: Balancing the Payments Trinity for Frictionless Growth
Description
Every payment transaction requires balancing the "Payments Trinity" of conversion, risk, and cost. Yet, within most organisations, these levers are managed by separate departments, each operating with isolated objectives. When teams optimise in vacuums, it creates systemic traps: false declines, unexpected user friction, and quietly leaking margin.
Adyen’s APAC Performance Optimisation team will share aggregated benchmarks and regional transaction insights to fundamentally change how you view the payments journey. By breaking down the real-world interconnections between everyday operational levers, this session provides a practical framework for cross-functional collaboration. Leave with a clear strategy to bridge organisational silos, spark better internal conversations, and transform payments performance into a unified engine for business growth.

Building the Merchant Payment Stack of the Future
Description
This panel discussion will cover what the next-generation payment architecture looks like and the rise of orchestration and payment control towers. You’ll hear about ledgering, embedded finance, and real-time payment connectivity. You’ll also learn about network tokenisation at scale, stablecoins and emerging settlement models, and modernising legacy payment infrastructure.
The panel will also cover building resilience and reducing operational complexity, as well as why the future stack is becoming modular, cloud-native, and data-driven.

Beyond the Transaction: Building Loyalty in the Subscription Economy
Description
Subscription businesses are redefining the role of payments. No longer just a transaction, every recurring payment is an opportunity to strengthen customer relationships, reduce friction, and drive long-term loyalty. As competition intensifies and customer expectations continue to rise, leading merchants are rethinking the payments experience as a critical part of the subscriber journey.
This session explores how intelligent payment strategies can help reduce involuntary churn, improve customer experiences, and create stronger, more profitable subscriber relationships. Learn how payments, digital engagement, and customer-centric design can work together to maximise retention and customer lifetime value.

Cross-Border Payments: Maximising Approvals Without Increasing Fraud
Description
Finding the right balance between fraud prevention and customer conversion has never been more challenging. As cross-border commerce continues to grow, merchants are under increasing pressure to approve more legitimate customers without exposing their business to higher fraud losses.
Using real-world cross-border transaction insights, this session will explore how leading merchants are refining their fraud strategies to improve authorisation rates while maintaining effective risk controls. Learn how better authentication, intelligent risk decisioning, and data-driven optimisation can help capture more legitimate sales without increasing exposure.

Agentic Commerce: From Chat to Checkout
Description
Everyone is talking about agentic commerce, but what matters to merchants is how to start today and how to receive payment when an agent is doing the buying. This session skips the theory and shows what a working agentic commerce stack looks like.
Drawing on a live deployment with a multi-location service business in Singapore, you will walk through how an AI agent handles customer inquiry, service discovery, and booking across social media channels, then close the loop with embedded payment: booking deposits, service packages, and online checkout powered by YeahPay. Leave with a practical blueprint: what agentic commerce actually means for merchants, the point where AI and payments must connect, and the concrete first steps to get started. -
