Over 68% of e-commerce shopping carts are abandoned right at the payment step. Providing local payment methods, zero-friction express checkouts, and multi-currency billing is essential to driving revenue.
1. Selecting the Right Payment Gateways
Depending on your target market, offering localized payment methods increases checkout completion rates by up to 35%:
- United States / Europe / Global: Stripe, Shopify Payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal Express.
- India / South Asia: Razorpay, PayU, PhonePe, Paytm, and Instant UPI Intent flow.
- Latin America & LATAM: Mercado Pago & local installments.
2. Integrating Instant UPI & One-Click Checkout for India
For Indian e-commerce stores (like Bananaz and Politico Fit), standard credit card checkout forms see high drop-offs. Integrating Instant UPI Intent (PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm) allows buyers to approve payments directly on their mobile phones in under 5 seconds without typing card numbers or waiting for SMS OTPs.
