Market-specific payment and shipping methods

Successfully expanding your e-commerce business into new markets requires offering local customers the payment and shipping options they know and trust. Abicart provides the flexibility to tailor your checkout experience to meet the precise needs of each country and customer segment.

Customized Payment Experience

With Abicart, you gain granular control over which payment methods are available based on the customer's location and preferred currency. This capability is essential for maximizing conversion rates in international sales.

• Per-Country Restriction: For every payment solution you implement, such as Stripe, Nets Easy, or various checkout providers like Klarna and Svea, you can specify the exact countries where it should be offered (or explicitly excluded). This ensures, for example, that country-specific payment options like Swish are only shown to customers in Sweden.
• Currency Control: If your shop supports multiple currencies, you can restrict a payment method to only be available when a specific currency is selected. This allows you to manage different payment provider agreements effectively.
• Multi-Channel Providers: Certain payment solutions (e.g., Klarna Checkout, Nets Easy, Svea Checkout) are flexible enough to be set up multiple times within your Abicart admin, using the same account keys but limiting each instance to a specific country and currency combination. This provides a clean, localized look in the checkout.

By only presenting relevant payment choices, you reduce friction at checkout, increase trust, and improve the likelihood of a completed purchase.

Flexible Shipping Configuration

Delivery options are just as critical as payment methods. Abicart allows you to create detailed shipping methods and tariffs that adapt based on the final shipping destination.

• Country-Specific Tariffs: When you create a shipping method, you define tariffs (rates) that specify the cost based on weight ranges. You can then link these individual tariffs to specific countries, country blocks (like EU countries), or even specific postal codes.
• Integration with TMS: Integrations with Transport Management Systems (TMS) such as nShift, Postnord TA, or Shipmondo further enhance this capability by allowing for flexible rate calculation and label creation. For instance, Shipmondo supports the creation of shipping templates that factor in sender country, delivery country, weight ranges, and package dimensions.
• Advanced Delivery Options: For seamless local delivery point selection, services like Klarna Shipping Assistant (KSA) can display external TMS delivery options directly in the checkout window, complete with tracking and service point selection for customers in supported markets.

Customizing your payment and shipping offerings is essential for international success. Abicart's platform offers the tools you need to ensure your store feels local to every customer, no matter where they are shopping from.
