2 Strategies To Convert More Customers

When it comes to the strategy of using multiple payment options, there are two ideas that stand out from the pack.

Simple SamCart Payment Plans

The first is to introduce a Payment Plan. So if your product is a one time payment, offer a second payment option that breaks up the cost into smaller monthly chunks! For example, if your product is $100, offer a payment option that is 4 monthly payments of $25.00. Click the image below to see a live example! Here is a SamCart checkout page using multiple payment options to introduce a payment plan.

Not everyone will be able to pay for this product in full. But with a payment plan available, you will be able to convert more customers and sell more products, without needing any extra visitors to your checkout page.

Increase Average Customer Value With A 'Pre-Upsell'

The second strategy is to use what we call, "Pricing Tiers". So if you are selling a "Basic" package at one price, introduce a second payment option that upgrades customers to an "Expert" package at a higher price! For example, if you sell a "Basic" package at $97, offer a second payment option for an "Expert" page at $197.00. Introduce some added bonuses for "Expert" package customers, and you'll be growing your average customer value immediately.
