According to <a href=\"https:\/\/baymard.com\/lists\/cart-abandonment-rate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Baymard Institute\u2019s ongoing research<\/a>, cart abandonment rate exceeds 70%, and checkout friction represents a significant portion of that problem. For a payment products manager, that rate is a clear call-to-action. A checkout audit is not something optional. That is the fastest path to identifying where money is leaking out without changing spend for acquiring products, or adjusting your product offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cashfree payments has been processing online payments since nearly a decade ago. This guide provides practical applications based upon our experience at Cashfree Payments, broken down into three parts of the payment journey: pre-payment, checkout and post-payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-principles-for-checkout-optimization\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Principles_of_Checkout_Optimization\"><\/span><strong>6 Principles of Checkout Optimization<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-1-the-faster-the-better\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Faster_checkout\"><\/span>1. <strong>Faster checkout<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baymard institute research on cart abandonment consistently places slow or confusing checkouts as one of the leading reasons shoppers walk away from completing a purchase. Every second longer at checkout costs you. Customers don\u2019t wait around to change their minds. Once a customer has completed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cashfree.com\/one-click-checkout\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">fast checkout<\/mark><\/a>, they have no window in which to reconsider and leave. Maintaining intent high throughout the checkout process is important, and prevents customers from changing their mind about making the purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-2-inputs-should-be-minimized\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Fewer_inputs\"><\/span>2. <strong>Fewer inputs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customer Convenience beats almost all other factors during the checkout process. Forcing account creation before purchase is a proven conversion killer. Baymard institute research lists creating an account before making a purchase among the top causes of abandoned carts with drop off rates tied directly to this single friction point exceeding 20 percent. Ask yourself only one question for each field on your form: \u201cdoes this input block the payment from being made?\u201d if the answer is \u201cno\u201d remove the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-3-inputs-should-be-validated\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Inputs_should_be_Validated\"><\/span>3. <strong>Inputs should be Validated<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A majority of purchases online today are done via mobile. Even in the best of times, typing in addresses, card numbers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cashfree.com\/blog\/vpa-in-upi\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">UPI VPAs<\/mark><\/a>, or net banking details carries a high probability of input errors. If the input is not validated as it is entered, users will face a payment failure. 33% of those users who experience a failed payment will abandon the checkout entirely, thereby lowering the conversion rate. Validating inputs (a small \u201cCard number not valid\u201d below the card number field) can prompt customers to review their information. Thus, this will avoid a payment failure for customers and safeguard your revenue better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-4-the-right-information-at-the-right-time\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Right_Information_at_the_Right_Time\"><\/span>4. <strong>The Right Information at the Right Time<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t support a particular kind of card network or are having issues with a particular payment mode, let the user know before they try to make the payment and the payment fails. This will help avoid a negative user experience, cart abandonment and poor conversion rate. It is more likely to ensure that a user completes the checkout and makes the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-5-personalisation-helps-a-lot\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Personalisation_Helps_%E2%80%93_A_Lot\"><\/span>5. <strong>Personalisation Helps &#8211; A Lot!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saved preferences turn transactions into relationships. A returning customer who sees their preferred UPI app or saved card selected by default completes checkout Faster, and feels recognized. Use a subscription business example to illustrate this. A customer who has paid using UPI three times in a row should not need to select a payment method again. Display the first option, the one they previously used, by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-6-accessibility-is-essential\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Accessibility_is_Essential\"><\/span>6. <strong>Accessibility is Essential<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accessibility isn\u2019t optional, it\u2019s a conversion lever. Screen reader compatibility, adequate colour contrast, keyboard-only navigation allow more of your traffic to complete purchase. At minimum, ensure that checkouts support alt text on all payment icons and logos, visible focus states for keyboard users, and resizing text without breaking layout. Ignore these options and you\u2019ll quietly discourage a segment of your paying customers from proceeding through your checkout process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we\u2019ve discussed these principles, let\u2019s have a look at an annotated checklist that details best practices in the 3 stages of pre-payment, checkout, and post-payment to maximise conversion rates, reduce cart abandonment, and give a great payment experience to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-pre-payment-checklist\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pre-Payment_Checklist\"><\/span><strong>Pre-Payment Checklist<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"o-typing-fast\">Are you showcasing offers, discounts, EMIs, and Pay Later options on the product display page?<br><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><em>Customers decide to buy based upon the value they perceive.

In many instances, this is due to frustration at long checkouts. Thus, having a progress bar will let your customers know how much longer it\u2019ll take them to complete the checkout. This can reduce cart abandonment by 10-20%.<\/mark><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have an exit intent pop-up to avoid cart abandonment?<br><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Most internet users (rightly!) hate the pop-ups. However, an exit-intent pop-up with some good copy and social proof can help increase your conversion rate by 2-3% by preventing last-minute cart abandonment.<\/mark><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-checkout-checklist\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checkout_Checklist\"><\/span><strong>Checkout Checklist<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-overall\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overall\"><\/span><strong>Overall<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are preferred or saved payment modes visible to all users?<br><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><em>Payment mode visibility is important, but absolutely essential when dealing with returning customers.

By lowering the effective price paid front-up by the prospective customer, there is a higher probability of the customer completing the purchase. Unfortunately, a majority of checkouts have offers visible only after they are already on the payments page.<\/mark><\/em> <strong>[Check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cashfree.com\/bnpl-plus\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=optimize-digital-checkout-guide-for-better-conversion-rate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">BNPL Plus<\/mark><\/a> &#8211; Display Pay later options, EMIs and offers on the product page &#8211; Boost conversions by 40%]<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the user is a returning\/logged-in user, are you asking for their phone number again?<br><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">This is an important way that you can reduce user friction. Pass the user&#8217;s phone number from your system to the payment aggregator in an API call instead of forcing the user to enter it again to finalize the payment. So, this will make the payment flow smoother and increase the conversion rate.<\/mark><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In case of downtimes or payment failures, are you prompting users to leverage an alternate payment method?<br><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Payment failures cause 33% of your users to drop once they have experienced them. So, it is better to warn them beforehand. Adding a warning that a particular method is facing low success rates and prompting users to leverage another method will substantially lower cart abandonment for your business. Thus, the conversion rate may not dip.<\/mark><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-card-payments\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Card_Payments\"><\/span><strong>Card Payments<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are Credit Cards and Debit Cards enabled on your checkout?<br><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><em>This is a basic hygiene check<\/em> if you want to keep your conversion rate high.<em> Most businesses today should offer these modes of digital payments because they drive a substantial volume of total transactions.

On a mobile checkout, this can be tricky and is prone to error. A validation check will prompt the user to check their details before they proceed to the next step. This will make it more likely that they will complete the transaction.<\/mark><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you offer CVV-free payments on saved cards?<br><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">A CVV-free payment experience will drive a 10-15% higher success rate.

Thus, the conversion rate will also improve.<\/mark><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you offer NFC-enabled card details auto-fill on your checkout?<br><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Since entering card details can be tricky, it is best to reduce that friction by automatically fetching these details. It will be more convenient for customers. Leveraging Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, today\u2019s smartphones can auto-fetch card details if <em>customers<\/em> hold the cards above the smartphone.

Examples of checkout optimizations include optimizing forms for easier input, providing multiple choices for payment types, improving page load speeds, and providing various trust indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_good_checkout_conversion_rate\"><\/span>What is a good checkout conversion rate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good checkout conversion rate is defined as being above 70% for completing the checkout flow when reaching the payment screen; while below 50% indicates there is substantial friction present in the flow that needs to be audited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_offering_guest_checkout_better_than_forcing_account_creation_prior_to_checkout\"><\/span>Is offering guest checkout better than forcing account creation prior to checkout?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forcing shoppers to create an account prior to making a purchase is one of the most commonly cited reasons for shopping cart abandonment. Provide guest checkout as the default option and ask the shopper if they would like to create an account after the order has been confirmed, rather than requiring them to do so before purchasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_payment_methods_does_a_checkout_need_to_provide\"><\/span>How many payment methods does a checkout need to provide?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You want to provide enough payment methods to satisfy your customer base, but not overwhelm the payment screen. Typically for most businesses operating in India this includes cards, UPI, net banking and at least one type of wallet\/ Pay Later option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_should_it_take_for_a_shopper_to_complete_a_checkout\"><\/span>How long should it take for a shopper to complete a checkout?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the shopper is logged in and their information is saved then under 90 seconds is acceptable. If the shopper is logging in as a new guest, then under three minutes is acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Must_mobile_checkout_have_a_different_approach_than_desktop_checkout\"><\/span>Must mobile checkout have a different approach than desktop checkout?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Shoppers using mobile devices require larger \u201ctap\u201d targets, autofill capabilities, and native mobile \u201cpayment\u201d options such as UPI Intent vs. scaled down versions of desktop checkouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Achieve better conversion rate &#038; revenue flow by optimising digital checkouts.
