Multiple payment options are a necessity in every business…

Have you ever lost a customer due to a lack of their preferred payment option? This is, unfortunately, a common theme in many Nigerian businesses.

Why is this important?

In a world where convenience and choice are highly valued, embracing multiple payment options is a strategic move that will benefit you and your customers.

Various payment methods allow you to cater to your customers’ diverse needs and preferences. By making it easier and more convenient for them to buy their products or services, you will improve their overall shopping experience and ultimately drive higher conversion rates and sales for your business.

A Scenario:

A customer, Abu, enters a supermarket to buy items without cash or his bank card. After picking up his items, he requests to pay through a bank transfer. However, the sales representative informs him that the store is currently unable to accept bank transfer payments due to technical interbank network issues.

Abu then asks if he could pay through his e-wallet, but the salesperson responds that the option isn’t available. Frustrated, Abu leaves the store without purchasing the items. He seeks another supermarket that accepts bank transfer payments and can successfully buy the items there.

A similar scenario applies to customers engaging in online shopping. A lack of their preferred payment option at checkout often leads to a high cart abandonment rate and loss of sales for the business.
