Get onboard with HitPay’s PayNow QR payment gateway with developer APIs and supported plugins like Shopify, WooCommerce, Prestashop and Magento
It has been 6 months since HitPay launched PayNow QR checkouts for e-commerce merchants in Singapore and this 👇 is what we have learned:
PayNow is now a ubiquitous payment method in Singapore
PayNow is available on every Singapore banking user’s mobile device and is only a couple of taps away with over 9 banks supporting PayNow QR transactions in addition to DBS PayLah! and Google Pay Singapore. As of September 2019, 2.8m PayNow user registrations were recorded with this number poised to grow post COVID 19.
Customer LOVE paying with their mobile phones
As opposed to credit card checkouts on e-commerce platforms, PayNow QR checkouts require customers to use their mobile phone to checkout on a e-commerce merchant website. This is a safer and more convenient way for customers to pay and HitPay merchants have observed a 50% decrease in cart abandonment rates after adding PayNow checkouts to their e-commerce store.
