64% of global travellers are cutting spending in other areas just to keep travelling. That’s how badly people want to book. But wanting to book and completing a booking are two different things. The gap between the two is almost always checkout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When checkout doesn’t offer payment flexibility, high-intent customers don’t wait around. They leave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The intent is high. The budget is tight. But they’re still booking, just not on checkouts that don’t meet them halfway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you give customers a way to pay that works for them, conversions follow. 75% of travellers plan to use BNPL for their next trip. When a \u20b91.2 lakh flight can be split into manageable instalments, the booking that felt out of reach suddenly feels possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How Flexible Payments Improve Conversions:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Affordability isn’t nice to have. It’s a growth lever. And the opportunity is even bigger in India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n India’s online travel market stands at $23.1 billion in 2025, growing to $33.9 billion by 2030. Tier 2 and 3 cities are driving this demand. Digital wallets and UPI already account for 50% of travel transactions in India. This isn’t a new behavior. It’s the new baseline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your checkout needs to be built for them or you’ll lose your high intent customers. So what does the right checkout actually look like? <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/payu.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5.png\")
