Story
Financials work at Discover Financial spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Storefront operations was splitting across regional habits. Merchandising and digital asked for a shared way to run omnichannel retail without freezing local judgment.
PayPal (Venmo) is what they standardized on. PayPal offers digital payments, checkout, and merchant services used by consumers and businesses to send and receive money online. Discover Financial uses it as the system of record for storefront operations, with merchandising and digital as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
