How to Stop Customers from Abandoning Their Cart at Checkout

Selling online in Nigeria requires building trust. If your checkout page looks confusing, or if bank card OTPs fail with no alternative, shoppers will leave and never return.

Give Buyers Both Card and Bank Transfer Options

Many Nigerian shoppers still prefer paying via instant bank transfer rather than typing their debit card details online. When you use Paystack, customers can pay with card, bank transfer, or USSD code.

If their bank OTP delays, they can simply transfer the money and the order confirms automatically in seconds.
