Typical payment conversion funnel of a user through PaySwitcher involves five stages as shown below.
Lets take a scenario where you website had initiated 100,000 payments with PaySwitcher.
Payments created
100,000
User dropout at before checkout page is displayed
(10,000)
User dropout at checkout page
(10,000)
User inputs payment information and clicks pay button (payment confirmed by user)
80,000
Payment confirmation rate
80% = (80,000 / 100,000)
User fails 3DS verification
(2,000)
User dropout at 3DS verification page
(3,000)
Payment declined due to fraud
(1,000)
Payment authorized, but pending to be captured by merchant
(4,000)
Successful payments
70,000
Payment success rate
Total successful payments processed out of all user confirmed payments
*includes user dropouts at 3DS verification page, bank transfer login page, pages powered by digital wallets (Paypal, Googlepay, Applepay etc.,)
87.5% = (70,000 / 80,000)
Overall conversion rate
Total successful payments processed out of total payments created.
*includes user dropouts at shopping cart and checkout page.
70% = (70,000 / 100,000)
Total successful payments processed out of total payments created.
This includes user dropouts at shopping cart and checkout page.
Total successful payments processed out of all user confirmed payments.
This includes user dropouts at 3DS verification page, bank transfer login page, pages powered by digital wallets (Paypal, Googlepay, Applepay etc.,).
Payment success rate does not include payments which are authorized by but not captured, because non-captured payments will be be settled to your merchant account by your payment processor.
Sum of amount of all payments with status = succeeded.
Please note that there could be payments which could be authorized but not captured. Such payments are not included in the processed amount, because non-captured payments will be be settled to your merchant account by your payment processor.
The total amount for which payments were created divided by the total number of payments created.
Successful payments
Total number of payments with status as succeeded.
There are two aspects which you need to be aware of:
Once you start using the PaySwitcher, the role of the payment processor is involved only in the last leg of the payment processing (i.e) after the user enters payment information
Most payment processors report only the authorization rate excluding user dropouts on the checkout page and failed 3DS verifications.
PaySwitcher measures conversion rate including user dropouts, so that you get full visibility on your user dropouts and take appropriate measures to reduce user dropouts.
Please refer here for detailed understanding how popular payment processors track payment lifecycle and measure conversion rates.
The analytics section on the PaySwitcher dashboard offers you the tools to derive insights on patterns of payment failures. Here are some frequently faced problems and actionables.
Most frequent problems faced by merchants
Actionables
Majority of my users are dropping off at the checkout page
Offer a wide range of payment methods preferred by your target audience
Eliminate any inconsistency in the total amount displayed to user across the product catalog page, shopping cart, checkout page
Ensure that the proceed to pay button is clearly visible to the user within minimal clutter on the UX.
I am facing lower conversion rates through my primary payment processor
Enable an alternative payment processor via PaySwitcher and use Smart Routing to optimize conversion rate
Reachout to PaySwitcher support to enable Smart Retries

Check with your payment processor whether the payment method/ currency has been enabled for your merchant account

"Payment Operations" refers to the operational time and effort spent by businesses beyond the payment processing step to manage the entire lifecycle of payments. It is cross-functional responsibility and shared across various teams of your business which is responsible for Customer Experience, Finance and Business Growth.
And, as you begin to process payments through multiple payment processors, the complexity increases multifold, thereby increasing fixed costs and siphoning out mind share from focussing on the core business.
Below are some of the day-to-day use cases of payments operations across teams which could potentially extract significant bandwidth from focusing on your core business growth.
Issuing refunds to customers
Proactive monitoring of failed refunds and delayed refunds
Customer queries on double debits
Customer queries on incomplete/ delayed payments
Reconciliation of Payment Processed versus Amount Settled to Bank
Timely submission of evidence for chargeback claims from customers

Expanding to new markets and accepting new payment methods
