For a successful transition

Shopify Migration 1024x1024

Replatforming? Don't forget your payment strategy

A successful migration isn't just about your online store. Make sure your payment processing is ready for growth from day one.

Replatforming is often viewed as a technical process. As a result, important decisions regarding payments are not addressed until late in the process, even though those decisions have a major impact on conversion rates, customer satisfaction, and operating costs.

Replatforming is more than just a technical migration

More and more organizations are choosing a new e-commerce platform to grow, expand internationally, or modernize their processes. In practice, we see many migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, Lightspeed eCom, and CCV Shop to Shopify or Shopify Plus.

However, during such a transition, the focus is often on design, features, and technology. That makes sense. But it’s precisely the choices you make regarding payments that will ultimately determine how smoothly customers can check out, how much you’ll pay in transaction fees, and how easily you can scale up.

Making smart choices early on pays off in the long run

Replatforming is actually the perfect time to reevaluate your payment process.

By making the right choices, you can:

  1. Achieve higher conversion rates;
  2. Optimize transaction costs;
  3. Add international payment methods;
  4. Support omnichannel sales;
  5. Centralize reporting;

Asking the Right Questions

During a platform migration, various decisions are made.

  1. Which platform do you choose?
  2. Which apps will you bring over?
  3. Which integrations will remain in place?

It’s not until just before going live that the topic of payments comes up. Yet that’s precisely when questions arise such as:

  1. Which payment methods are best suited for our target audience?
  2. Is our checkout process optimized?
  3. How will the online store, ERP, point-of-sale system, and accounting software continue to integrate?

This often leads to additional development work and unnecessary costs. By incorporating your payment strategy from the very beginning, you’ll avoid missed opportunities and get more value out of your new platform.

Checkout Optimization

Think of a faster checkout process, mobile-friendly design, express payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, and less friction during checkout.

Country-specific payment methods

Customers in countries such as Germany, Belgium, France, or Scandinavia have different payment preferences than Dutch consumers. What works well in the Netherlands isn't necessarily successful elsewhere.

Integrations & Efficiency

Make sure your payment solution integrates seamlessly with your e-commerce platform, point-of-sale system, ERP, and other business-critical systems.

Request a Payment Scan

Why do I need to reassess my payment strategy during a replatforming?

A migration is the ideal time to reevaluate your checkout process, payment methods, and pricing structure. What worked well in the past doesn't always align with new goals, markets, or sales channels.

When should I involve my payment partner in a migration?

Preferably as early as possible. By factoring in payments from the very beginning, you can avoid surprises related to integrations, payment methods, conversion, and costs.

What payment methods do I need for international growth?

That varies by market. While iDEAL is dominant in the Netherlands, customers in other countries often prefer local payment methods. The right mix of payment options helps increase conversion rates.

Can a new checkout process improve my conversion rate?

Yes. A faster and more user-friendly checkout process, combined with payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, can lead to fewer abandoned carts and more completed purchases.

What are the benefits of a payment check during a migration?

A payment check provides insight into your checkout process, payment mix, integrations, and cost structure. This way, you can be sure that your new platform aligns perfectly with your growth plans.

I'm happy with my current payment solution. Why would I want to change anything?

Replatforming provides an opportunity to assess whether your current solution is still the best choice. New technology, changing customer expectations, and international growth may call for a different approach.

Does Pay. also support omnichannel sales?

Yes. We help organizations seamlessly integrate online and offline payments so that customers have a consistent payment experience across all sales channels.
