Guide to Choose the Best Online Payment Solution for Your Business

With the number of online shoppers increasing day by day, it makes sense to offer your customers a secure, easy-to-use and quick online payment solution.

According to data, there are currently 147.8 million eCommerce users in India, and we can expect this number to grow to over 358 million by 2020. However, the data also reveals that around 70% of the customers abandon the shopping cart, right at the checkout phase, which leads to losses in business.

Therefore, the payment solution that you choose should have multiple features such as a variety of payment methods during checkout, an easy-to-use customer interface and high success rates, for more conversions.

Here are a few key pointers to consider when selecting an online payment solution for your business:
