E-Commerce Payment Methods: What to Offer UK Customers

Offering the right payment methods reduces cart abandonment. What UK shoppers expect.

Cart abandonment at checkout is often caused by limited payment options. UK customers expect convenience and choice.

Essential Payment Methods

  • Credit and debit cards: Visa, Mastercard, and Amex cover the majority
  • PayPal: Trusted by customers who do not want to enter card details
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay: One-tap checkout on mobile devices
  • Klarna or Clearpay: Buy now, pay later increases conversion

Buy Now Pay Later

BNPL options like Klarna can increase average order value by 20 to 30 percent. Customers spread the cost while you receive payment upfront.
