These new payment methods bring together a powerful mix of card payments, digital wallets, pay-by-bank solutions, and buy now, pay later (BNPL), providing merchants with innovative tools to drive sales and customer satisfaction during Black Friday and beyond.
By adding Google Pay, Apple Pay and Capitec Pay to its arsenal, WigWag expands payment choices for merchants and shoppers in time for Black Friday 2024. With South African Black Friday sales in 2023 reaching R4.5bn, merchants are gearing up for the busiest time in the retail season. As such, the demand for quick and seamless digital transactions has never been higher. This year, WigWag is equipping merchants with tools to improve checkout speed, increase basket size, and get closer to a one-click checkout experience.
“Our focus is on simplifying the checkout journey, ensuring each payment option we add is chosen carefully to enhance – not complicate – the purchasing process,” shares Dani Laity, WigWag’s general manager. “We’re not just adding payment methods for the sake of it; we’re providing high-converting, customer-friendly options that make it easier for South Africans to shop securely and confidently.”
As digital wallets gain momentum in South Africa, WigWag aims to stay at the forefront of these payment trends. Digital wallets offer a seamless, secure payment experience, leveraging PINs and biometric features like fingerprint and facial recognition for added security.
Statistics from South Africa’s major banks reflect this rapid adoption:
WigWag is dedicated to helping merchants succeed with innovative technology, competitive pricing, and exceptional customer support. As South African shoppers embrace digital wallets and streamlined payment options, WigWag’s suite of payment methods empowers merchants to stay ahead of the curve and maximise revenue as Black Friday approaches.
