For some individuals, paying via credit or debit card may feel unsafe. Because of this, businesses can choose to accept bank transfers online through secure platforms that can cater to those with this tendency.
ECommerce stores can also take advantage of integrated app payment systems that allow customers to make purchases directly on their mobile phones. Having a “buy now” button in-app can lead to higher sales volumes due to greater ease of use.
The rising popularity and value of cryptocurrency make it an attractive form of payment for online shoppers. Growing numbers of eCommerce stores are choosing to accept this form of payment online that comes with lower fees than average.
Electronic wallets enable users to purchase goods without entering their credentials repeatedly. You can link your bank account to a digital wallet or top it up with cash, which is then protected with a password. This makes it easy to complete a payment in several clicks.
