Key Benefits

The RE brings the following key benefits to the checkout experience of your customers:

Recommendation — Recommendations are provided to the customer on the payment checkout page based on:

  1. Transactions made by the customers in the past and the saved payment modes.
  2. Specific goals selected by the merchants that could be optimising for the success rate of payments, affordability, payment processing cost, etc.
  3. Contextual data points of a transaction, e.g. transaction amount and merchant category.

Personalization — personalises the experience of both first-time and repeat customers by providing recommendation based on users eligibility and transaction history.

Optimization — The recommendation engine introduces an additional section on the payment checkout page to:

  1. Display promoted payment modes and affordability options.
  2. Reduce the number of click required by the customer to complete a payment by displaying the payment option that is most likely to be used.
  3. Improves discovery of newly added payment options.

Three scenarios, one solution!

At PayU, we understand that every customer is unique. That’s why our RE is designed to work in three scenarios:

  • Repeat user (customer) with stored and consented data
  • Repeat user without any stored/consented data
  • First-time user

The RE enhances recommendations in all three scenarios to ensure that your customers get the best payment experience possible.


How does RE work?

The RE personalizes the order of payment options that a customer sees on the checkout page. It takes into account different factors, like how often the customer has used a particular payment option and how much they’re spending on their purchase. By doing this, the RE aims to increase the success rate of payments, reduce the number of users who abandon their transactions, and make the ordering process faster. The RE also considers the amount of the transaction to display the most affordable payment options that the customers can choose from.
