As part of our ongoing series of resources, we’re taking a break from technical resources to feature a couple business/financial resources.

• StorefrontBacktalk: Techniques, Tools and Tirades about Retail Technology and E-Commerce - StorefrontBacktalk has a free e-commerce and retail email newsletter, but also features a wealth of information in web-based articles like Know Your Enemy which is about three kinds of cyber thieves retailers should be aware of.
• Digital Transactions: Trends in the Electronic Exchange of Value - The online version of Digital Transactions is available only in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format, so we can’t link directly to articles, but one good one this month’s issue is Preparing for the Post-Check Future which is about the trend of consumers moving to e-checks and other electronic payment methods. Digital Transactions’ subscriptions are free and available via direct download in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. They also provide weekly Web Transaction Performance Indexes.

Please add any other related resources you’d like to recommend to the comments.
