Ensuring Payment Flexibility

Payment flexibility is another key factor that contributes to the adoption of shopping or retail apps. Against a physical brick and mortar business that generally accepts payment through cash or credit/debit card payment, a retail mobile app can be configured to accept payment through multiple non-touch payment options like Android Pay, Apple Pay, etc. So offering all these payment alternatives to customers, you can maximize the conversion and ROI.

Keep it concise and use simple terminologies that are understood well by your target audience.
