The PYMNTS Intelligence report “How Preferred Payment Availability Can Reduce Cart Abandonment” found in 2024 that offering the right payment options can boost conversions.
Seventy percent of consumers said they considered the availability of their preferred payment method very or extremely influential when choosing an online store, according to the report.
“Today’s digital-first consumer tends not to complete a purchase when the payment experience is not seamless,” the report said. “They increasingly expect easy access to their preferred payment method at checkout and may abandon their cart if their preferred payment method is unavailable.”
Klarna reported during an August earnings call that consumers are increasingly using the payment options it offers beyond the popular Pay in 4.
