Abstract

This study examines the impact of computerised payment systems on the routine management of grocery stores in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research explores the efficiency, accuracy, and operational improvements brought about by digital payment solutions while addressing associated challenges. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document reviews, and thematically analyzed to extract meaningful insights. The findings reveal that computerised payment systems significantly enhance transaction processing, inventory management, and financial record-keeping, ultimately improving customer satisfaction. However, barriers such as high implementation costs, technical challenges, and the need for employee training were also identified. The study underscores the transformative potential of digital payment systems in retail operations and offers practical recommendations to optimize their adoption and sustainability. These include investing in staff training, enhancing infrastructure, adopting cost-effective solutions, promoting customer awareness, and ensuring regular system maintenance. The research contributes to understanding how digital innovations can modernize and streamline routine management processes in retail businesses, particularly in developing regions.
