Localized checkout

Payment page that adapts to the buyer's country in language, currency, payment methods, and data format.

A localized checkout is the opposite of translating the page and thinking the job is done. Localizing means adjusting everything the buyer recognizes as normal in their country: the language, the local currency, the payment methods they actually use, the address and document format, and the order of the fields.

Each of these items is a drop-off point. A buyer who sees the price in a currency that isn't theirs has to do the math in their head, and converting mentally is exactly the moment they reconsider the purchase.

At checkout, every extra field is one more chance to lose the sale. What looks like a layout detail usually moves more revenue than a new campaign.
