What benefits do local payment methods have?

Customers in each country are used to paying through certain entities and trust them more than others when making payments. Shopify is fully aware of this situation and for this reason offers a wide variety of payment options through Shopify Payments . In a study carried out in 2020 by the Baymard Institute, it was shown that in the last quarter, more than 70% of customers abandoned the shopping cart, something that we have to fight tirelessly against, because it represents a large amount of money that ultimately It does not enter online stores. One of the reasons for this abandonment may be that customers do not find their favorite payment method among the first options on the payment platform. For this reason, Shopify always places the most used payment entity in each country in a preferential position, which considerably increases customer confidence in the website.
