The Swipe Surge: Why Soaring Credit Card Debt Should Worry E-Commerce and Service Brands

DONNA DELAROSABlog

Americans just hit a new milestone—but not the kind worth celebrating.
According to recent data, credit card debt has reached an all-time high, raising red flags across industries. For businesses in e-commerce and service sectors, this trend isn’t just economic background noise—it’s a direct threat to cash flow.

Why? Because when consumers max out, they fall behind on payments—including those they owe to your business.

Credit Crunch Meets Cart Abandonment
As debt levels spike, consumers are becoming more cautious—or more delinquent. That means more chargebacks, payment delays, and abandoned subscription renewals. Whether you run a service-based business, an online store, or both, rising consumer debt is your future receivables problem.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to manage it alone.
