Frequently Asked Questions

Should I price in local currencies?
Yes. Displaying prices in local currency can increase conversion by 10-20%. Look for providers that support multi-currency pricing so customers pay in their preferred currency.
What are local payment methods?
Local payment methods are popular in specific regions: iDEAL (Netherlands), Bancontact (Belgium), PIX (Brazil), Alipay/WeChat Pay (China), UPI (India). Offering these can significantly boost conversion.
What is local acquiring?
Local acquiring means processing transactions through a bank in the customer's country. This typically results in higher approval rates and lower fees compared to cross-border transactions.
