Why do payment options matter to online shoppers? And what choices do you have as a merchant?

Stats show that more payment options reduce barriers to conversion. A study by PayPal in 2016 concluded that 63% of users admit to abandoning their online shopping cart because they were unable to pay the way they wanted, so the message is clear. If your customers can’t buy online using their preferred payment method, they will go elsewhere. 

We’ve recently added support for some new payment solutions in order to provide our clients on the MaxCommerce platform with the ability to go beyond the traditional credit card option and make configuration and installation of other payment methods more cost-effective.
