No matter how good your product is or how great your marketing is, if shoppers can't afford your product sales are going to tank.

Today I'm going to share with you an e-commerce hack that has the potential to unlock increased sales. It doesn't require any technical knowledge and not only can it attract more customers, but it can also help you retain them as clients for a much longer period.

When you have an e-commerce shop there are only so many levers that you can pull in order to increase your conversions. The things that you can typically do are: improve your conversions by doing CRO, recovering abandoned carts by having great email marketing strategy, and things like that.

While these things are great and they do make a big difference if your ideal buyers can't afford your product you're going to struggle to just get a handful of conversions.

Just so you have an idea, according to a study by Oberlo, on average only 1.94% of e-commerce website visits convert into a purchase, and 69.57% of shopping carts are abandoned. That's a lot of people abandoning those carts.

Today I want to show you a payment method that you can offer to buyers. Pay in 4 with PayPal. Pay in 4 allows your customers to split large purchases into four payments, interest free, and with no late fees. It's a great way for your customers to increase financial flexibility and access credit without paying interest, late fees, or applying for a credit card.

One of the biggest advantages of Pay in 4 is that you'll be paid upfront, while your customers can pay later. Offering this payment method won't have any additional cost to you if you're already using PayPal. So you're not really taking any additional risks. The industry is growing fast, with 37.7% of US consumers choosing the option as of July 2020.

Here are some tips for you when implementing Pay in 4 in your e-commerce store. Pay in 4 is super easy to integrate and activate. If you're already using PayPal for your business you already have access to Pay in 4, and there are no extra steps for merchants to integrate.

This dynamic messaging will display a more relevant pay later offer to your customers. These metrics should be affected when you compare customers who use Pay in 4 against people who bought using other payment methods.

This is especially relevant if you're targeting Millennials and Generation Z customers. According to online study commissioned by PayPal, 28% of consumers ages 18-39 are more likely to shop at a merchant again if they offer buy now, pay later option.
