Boosting conversion

Why offer more than one payment option

Reduce cart abandonment

Offering a wallet option like Apple Pay or Google Pay alongside card checkout can shorten checkout to a single tap.

Lift average order value

Buy-now-pay-later options like Klarna and Afterpay let shoppers split the cost, often increasing basket size.
