Payment and Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) tools are essential for direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, offering customers flexible payment options. Payment tools facilitate the processing of transactions through various methods like credit cards, digital wallets, and bank transfers. BNPL tools, a recent innovation, allow customers to purchase products immediately but pay for them over time, typically interest-free.
For DTC brands, these tools are vital as they streamline the checkout process and enhance customer satisfaction. They offer consumers the convenience and flexibility to choose their preferred payment method, potentially leading to higher conversion rates and larger average order values. BNPL options are particularly important as they make products more accessible to a broader audience by breaking down the cost into manageable installments.
On the face of it, payment processing is very simple. No need to reinvent the wheel. But what if you could use that opportunity to offer a superior experience? Batch helps you process re-orders via QR codes. Churnbuster helps recover failed payments. And Catch lets you and your customers save on credit card fees via direct debit payments.
