  • Decrease the barriers of your online shop in the sale of products. Don’t limit your payment methods to a single sector or country, for example. If you expand them, you’ll increase your chances of receiving purchases from customers in other parts of the world.
  • Increase the value of the average basket by a very significant percentage and reduce shopping cart abandonment. This happens by improving the experience and value brought to the user when they purchase a product or service from an online shop.

Financial habits according to generations

The digital universe is taking businesses to a new scenario marked by information and communication technologies (ICTs). For consumers, the experience a brand provides is just as important as the products they buy. In this context, omnichannel has arrived to respond to the changing needs of users, which vary according to their generations.

  • Generation Z or centennials. Not only have they banished social networks such as Facebook or Twitter, but they’ve turned the Smartphone into their bank. These young people have not known the world without the internet, were born after the year 2000 and consume based on online purchases and reviews from other users. eCommerce is taking a close look at their language to win them over with new adapted payment methods.
  • Generation Y or millennials. The economic crisis experienced since 2008 hit them very hard, which has led them to bring forward decisions on savings and delay those on investments. They are the generation of financial resilience and investment in human capital. Some digital technologies that are reinventing personal finances are new forms of mobile phone payment or apps to control spending.
  • Generation X. It has also jumped on the bandwagon of fintechs that are revolutionising the banking sector, causing changes in the habits of non-digital native users. More and more users of this generation are opting for online shopping, as opposed to traditional banking processes.

Purchasing habits in generations X, Y, Z vary. For example: when it comes to making an online purchase via mobile phone, Tablet, voice assistants or SmartWatch, millennials outnumber Generation X. The same is not true for computer use, according to data published by Cyberclick.

 Key findings on omnichannel payments today

Considering that the centennials are the consumers of the future and that they are marked by the immediacy of the internet, they want everything instantly. Here and now. This is why e-commerce should not lose sight of this profile when offering omnichannel payment methods, where diversity and speed prevail.

A website that takes too long to load, the lack of a unified login and a common interface, confusing prices and unexpected costs, as well as limited alternatives in payment methods, are the main handicaps that increase shopping cart abandonment.

But something is changing under the slogan of new digital technologies. Adapting payment methods in e-commerce is essential for the proper functioning of the business. It is particularly important to know your users in order to offer the payment methods they usually use and to respond to their needs. What is known will always give them a vote of confidence.
