Across sectors like edtech, healthcare, insurance, electronics, and travel,<strong> high upfront costs remain the #1 reason for cart abandonment<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Bain &amp; Company study (2024) found that:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-small-font-size\">\n<li>64% of Indian consumers hesitate to transact online due to lack of flexible payment options.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-small-font-size\">\n<li>Nearly 1 in 2&nbsp;customers said they would have converted if EMIs or BNPL were offered at checkout.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These aren&#8217;t just financial decisions\u2014they&#8217;re psychological ones. When buyers are shown flexible prices just when they\u2019re hesitating, it flips the decision. The shopper is no longer thinking:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCan I afford this?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re thinking:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can make this work.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What helps them decide faster is seeing the right payment options at the right moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Why Smart, Timely Affordability Beats Flat Discounts<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flat discounts and generic cashback offer are quickly losing relevance. Today\u2019s consumers\u2014especially Gen Z and younger millennials\u2014don\u2019t just want lower prices.
