Often it is not the price: it is a slow checkout, a missing method or a charge that pops up at the last moment. Here are seven concrete steps to get more orders through to the end.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">1. Offer the methods your customers use<\/h2>\n<p>In Switzerland, online shoppers expect at least <strong>TWINT<\/strong> and <strong>cards<\/strong>, plus <strong>Apple Pay<\/strong> and <strong>Google Pay<\/strong> for buying by phone. <strong>PostFinance Pay<\/strong> matters to a large part of Swiss customers. For higher amounts it helps to be able to pay in instalments or on invoice, with <strong>Klarna<\/strong> or <strong>TWINT instalments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You do not need to show twenty logos, just the right ones. With 1pay.ch they are all in the same contract and included in all plans: you switch a new one on when customers ask for it. To choose, see the list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1pay.ch\/en\/which-payment-methods-does-an-sme-need\/\">methods an SME really needs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">2. Think smartphone first<\/h2>\n<p>A good share of purchases starts on a phone. Big buttons, few fields, no compulsory registration. TWINT and wallets help because customers do not have to type a card number: they confirm on the phone and they are done.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">3. Ask only for the data you need<\/h2>\n<p>Every extra field is a reason to give up. Name, e-mail, delivery address: the rest can wait. For services or digital products, an e-mail is often enough.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">4. Show all the costs up front<\/h2>\n<p>Shipping, customs duties, surcharges: if they appear only at the last step, customers feel cheated and leave. State them on the product page or in the basket, in francs.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">5. Build trust at payment<\/h2>\n<p>Prices in CHF, text in the customer&#8217;s language, visible contact details, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1pay.ch\/en\/returns-refunds-online-shop\/\">clear returns policy<\/a>. A payment page with your logo and colours, rather than an anonymous one, shows customers they are still with you.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">6.
