In the third episode of the Commerce Passport webinar series, Digital River, sponsors Coveo and guests Salesforce, looked at how to personalise shopping experiences by optimising payments for local audiences

Learn how to optimise your payments system to create localised and personalised experiences for global audiences

Did you know that more than 90% of online shoppers prefer to shop and purchase in their local currency? That shouldn’t come as too much of a shock… But the fact that 33% of users will abandon a purchase if it’s only listed in USD should be a wake-up call to brands looking to expand globally.

To succeed with global ecommerce, brands must deliver a personalised shopping experience and optimise payments system for local audiences. In fact, cross-border ecommerce thrives or fails based on the payments system.

That’s why, in the third episode in the Commerce Passport series, Digital River turns its attention to how to accept, process, reconcile and manage payments on a global scale. In discussion with Coveo and Salesforce, the panel revealed what it takes to increase global conversions and revenue – and the critical importance of payments system in that.
