What is #TheShot?
In short
- 9seasons published
- 1guest and one topic per season
- 3–6short episodes per season
#TheShot is NORBr’s video series of short interviews with payment experts: one guest and one topic per season.
Each season is split into episodes of a few minutes, so you can get the essentials between two meetings. The seasons cover BINs and card data, embedded payments for SaaS platforms, payment authentication and 3D-Secure, direct-to-scheme processing, BNPL in Europe, stablecoins for business, payment strategy, inclusion and accessibility in payments, and AI and agentic commerce.
Guests come from consultancies, fintechs and processors such as Paypr.work, Flagship Advisory Partners, Silverflow, Partelya Consulting, Damisa, the Soltesz Institute and Monyz.
Every season page introduces the guest, lists the episodes and explains why the topic matters for PSPs, payment facilitators (PayFacs), ISOs and ISVs, with a companion article on the NORBr blog.
To go further, #PayDecoding explains the payment terms used in the interviews, and #PayWorldTour describes how people pay in each market.
