[Webinar] Digital Merchants – Navigating 2026 Fee Changes and the $3 Billion Impact

Fees are on the rise, and this April, the payments landscape is shifting significantly. Digital merchants are facing nearly $3 billion in estimated new and amended charges, creating increased pressure on margins and greater complexity across the payments ecosystem.

From PINless routing to chargebacks and fraud (and much more), merchants transacting through digital channels are already navigating a challenging environment. At the same time, card-not-present transactions are becoming an increasing focus for adverse fee changes: whether through new services designed specifically for digital channels or broader headline fee increases.

Join CMSPI’s upcoming webinar as we unpack:

• Setting the scene: how fees have risen in recent years
• How to navigate the competing fee changes landing this month
• How to understand, budget for, and mitigate these changes where possible
• April 27th updates: what MDL 1720 actually means for digital merchants
  • Why system-wide fee reductions may not translate into fair outcomes for every business
  • Whether this settlement represents a win, a loss, or something far more uncertain

As the payments environment grows more complex, understanding what’s changing – and what it means for your bottom line – has never been more important.
