Payment Friction
Why Payment Friction Matters
Payment friction is one of the most common reasons customers abandon checkout.
A shopper may hesitate if they do not see their preferred payment method, if prices appear in an unfamiliar currency, if payment errors are unclear, or if the checkout journey feels too long on mobile.
For fashion brands selling internationally, a localised, reliable, and mobile-friendly checkout helps protect revenue at the most important stage of the customer journey.
