Q. Why it's important for businesses to have Alternative Payment method options?

1 - Increased Customer Trust

Having Alt-Pay/ Local methods as a payment option will infuse trust in the customers' minds as they are familiar with the user experience and reliability of the payment methods. Customer transactions on cross-border merchants will feel a local, familiar connection.

2 - Increased Sales and Conversions

Increased trust leads to increased conversions and in turn leads to increased sales. Win-win!

3 - Increased Customer reach

5 - No Cannibalization of Card Payments

Alt-Pays and Card payment methods complement each other! An Alt-Pay method is popular in geographies with fewer credit adoptions and vice versa. Not only have these methods brought in their loyal customer base but have also enhanced the payment experience of one another where the transactions fail on one and succeed on the other i.e., a card payment fails but the customer can pay through his/her preferred alt-pay and vice versa.
