Reducing Checkout Friction with Local Payment Methods
How local payment methods and clear pricing reduce cart abandonment, increase trust, and help African merchants convert more customers online.
Why customers abandon their carts
Many customers drop off at checkout when they do not see familiar payment options, worry about hidden fees, or encounter slow, confusing flows. Every extra step is a chance to lose a sale.
Offering local, trusted payment methods—paired with clear fees—goes a long way toward building confidence and keeping customers in the flow.
Make it local, make it clear
- Display local payment options that your customers already use daily.
- Show fees (if any) before confirmation so there are no surprises.
- Keep forms simple and request only necessary information.
- Use clear copy so customers understand what will happen next.
