Saved payment methods optimize your checkout and boost revenue

October 28, 2024

In today's fast-paced gaming world, a quick and easy way to pay can make the difference between someone buying something and leaving it in the cart forever. Many people don't finish their purchases because checkout is too complicated. According to the Baymard Institute, the average cart abandonment rate is a staggering 69.99% (calculated from 48 different studies). xsolla-blog-power-of-saved-payments-featured-image-2112x1146.webp

If you let your players save their payment information, buying things will be faster and easier, leading to more completed purchases. Your customers will be happier and more likely to return, which will help you make more money.

Customer challenges at checkout

Let's delve into some current stats. Cart abandonment on mobile has the highest rate of all devices, at 85.65%. 18% of users don't trust ecommerce stores with their credit card information. A complicated checkout process deters 17% of shoppers from completing their purchases. 9% of customers are displeased with the variety of payment methods. But it's not all bad news! Optimizing your checkout process will result in a much lower cart abandonment rate, closer to 20%. Saved payment methods make checkout easier Gamers expect rapid, seamless transactions. They want to buy things quickly and easily. Saved payment methods make that possible. Build your checkout process so that when a customer buys something from you, they can save their payment information - such as credit cards, digital wallet accounts, or bank information - on your platform for easy access in the future. This way, the next time that same customer buys something from you, they don't have to type all their details in again. Benefits of saved payment methods
