PayPal Complete Payments launches for online small businesses in the UK, Canada and across more than 20 European markets. The solution enables small businesses in the UK to accept a range of payments including PayPal, buy now pay later solutions, Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit and debit cards, and alternative payment methods from around the world.
Small businesses face a myriad of challenges from finding new customers and managing cashflow to driving sales. Giving shoppers more choice in how they can pay can help turn prospects into customers and grow sales. A recent report found 43% of consumers in the UK are more likely to complete checkout, rather than abandon their cart, if the retailer offers their preferred payment method.
