Benefits of using Zonos Payments

Local currency
A key reason for cross-border cart abandonment is the inability to pay in the customer’s local currency. The customer disadvantages of this include:
- Extra costs upward of 5% or more in currency markups and credit card fees.
- Due to currency fluctuations, customers can lose money on full refunds, e.g. returns or cancellations.
- Customers do not love surprises.
- International payments are captured in the local currency with a guaranteed USD payout.
- Local payment methods are also available, including Apple Pay and Google Pay.
