Introducing Airwallex Additional Payments: Onsite Local Payment Methods for Shopify Checkout

Every extra step in checkout gives shoppers another reason to leave. Baymard puts average cart abandonment at 70%¹. Among shoppers who abandon, 10% say there weren't enough payment methods, and 18% say checkout was too long or complicated.

If you sell across markets, redirecting shoppers off your store just to choose how to pay creates both problems at once.

Airwallex Additional Payments removes that friction. Shoppers can select local payment methods like WeChat Pay, KakaoPay, GrabPay, PayNow, Bancontact, TWINT, and BLIK right inside your Shopify checkout, no redirect required.

Keep shoppers focused on finishing the sale

Many payment apps send shoppers to a separate provider page before they can even choose a method. That detour breaks the flow, adds uncertainty, and makes checkout feel longer than it is.

Airwallex Additional Payments keeps it simple: shoppers pick the payment method they already recognise and trust right in your checkout, without ever leaving to find it elsewhere. This kind of native, in-checkout selection is still rare on Shopify, as most providers still send shoppers off-site just to choose.

With Airwallex Additional Payments, you can:

• Accept 80+ local payment methods including WeChat Pay, KakaoPay, GrabPay, PayNow, Bancontact, TWINT, and BLIK right inside checkout, no redirect required
