Displaying Payment Methods
Hypothesis
What the Data Told Us
During our CRO analysis, we identified that payment methods werenβt highlighted on the PDP. We saw this as an opportunity to improve checkout confidence. Customers often look for reassurance that their preferred payment method is available before committing to checkout.
A/B/C Test
What We Did
We hypothesised that displaying payment methods closer to the Add to Cart button would reinforce trust and reduce hesitation at the decision point. We tested different placements to determine where these trust signals have the greatest impact.
Variants
A/B/C Test Setup
Two variants were tested against the original PDP: Variant 1: Payment methods displayed below the USPs under the Add to Cart. Variant 2: Payment methods displayed above the USPs, directly under the Add to Cart.
The Results
Variant 2 outperformed both the original design and Variant 1 across all key metrics with Conversion Rate increasing by +6%, Revenue per Visitor by +9.08%, Subscription Orders per Visitor by +5%, and Average Order Value by +3%. Additionally, according to Intelligems, implementing Variant 2 is estimated to generate an additional 67 orders per month.
Variant 1, by contrast, saw declines in Conversion Rate (-5%) and Revenue per Visitor (-4%), suggesting that payment information positioned too low on the page loses visibility and trust impact.
Variant 2 demonstrated strong performance in both conversion rate and subscription rate. Based on this data, we set Variant 2 live permanently.
