Local forms of payment must be processed by local payment acquirers in the target market. As an all-in-one global payments platform, PayU takes care of this on the merchant’s behalf, opening up access to hundreds of local payment methods in any market around the world.
Businesses that offer local payment methods not only see higher conversions at the point of sale, but also fewer declined transactions. This is because local payments have a higher rate of acceptance and more options for alternative routing when a transaction is at risk of being declined.
According to a survey by Shopify, 92% of global e-commerce customers prefer to shop in their own currency. 33%, meanwhile, are likely to abandon a purchase if pricing is only in USD. Local payments allow customers to shop in their own currency and help localize the overall shopping experience.
In many markets, e-commerce is ahead of traditional financial services, with installment payments and other digital options designed specifically for customers who may not have access to a credit card or banking. The only way to reach this segment of the consumer population is to process payments locally.
Merchants integrating via PayU benefit from access to the industry-leading features of our global payment platform, the PayU Hub. With one global API integration, merchants can process local payments in any market over PayU’s local payment platforms as well as those of our partners.
While everything is happening behind the scenes, merchants see only the PayU interface, which provides a complete overview of all local payments across different global markets along with advanced analytics and tools for payment optimization.
Providing the ability to offer more local payment methods while increasing approval rates and lowering fees, local payment processing is a competitive advantage for any online merchant.
