When you are first setting up your eCommerce business, there will be a lot of decisions to make. One of the most important decisions (after selecting your brand name, product, logo, etc.) will be defining the user experience at checkout. 

Many new business owners assume checkouts are more or less the same, and that choosing one payment method over another will make little impact on their business. However, the right payment method has the ability to dramatically increase your conversions, encouraging shoppers to come back to your brand time and time again.

With X-Cart, you get access to the most popular payments solutions designed to drive conversions. Talk with a Solution Adviser today to see what is best for your business.

Improve Your Checkout with PayPal

Payment providers can play a key role in both conversion and trust. PayPal is just one checkout method popular around the world, and also a brand name synonymous to security and efficiency. PayPal offers a complete solution in PayPal Checkout that simplifies payments and powers your business. Here are some key benefits:

  1. Support for popular payment methods including credit and debit cards, multiple local payment methods. All with no monthly fees and fast access to funds.
  2. Payments accepted in more than 100 currencies and 200 countries.
  3. Offer PayPal Credit, which can help your customers buy more at your store. While you get paid upfront, your customers can pay over time.
  4. Best-in-class fraud protection with PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication that speeds up checkout, especially on mobile devices.
  5. A seamless, mobile-optimized checkout that increases sales: Your customers can pay directly from product pages with fewer clicks.

In addition to full-stack checkout capabilities, PayPal also offers innovative tools to help you run and grow your business. Access the following services directly from your PayPal Business account:

  • Create and send invoices with built-in payment buttons. 
  • Sell nearly anywhere with card readers, Mobile POS, and Virtual Terminal.
