In today’s digital era, consumers increasingly favor online experiences due to their sheer agility and convenience. With shoppers effectively making the transition to online shopping, responding to the changing landscape of retail emerges as the need of the hour.
In this regard, integrating lightning-fast and ultra-convenient ways of payment is a fail-safe way to ensure that clicks change into conversions without wasting a second.
In the fiscal year 2022-2023, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reports that the utilization of credit cards has surpassed that of debit cards, with the latter falling by just over 13 percent in the financial year 2022-23 to 34,179 lakhs. Meanwhile, the credit card volume has increased by 47.4 percent on-year to Rs 14.3 lakh crore in FY23.
This shift towards credit card usage over debit cards signals a noteworthy trend in consumer behavior. For businesses, creating a native credit card payment gateway becomes more than a strategic move; it becomes a direct response to the evolving needs and preferences of the customer base.
As credit cards make waves in the finance realm and the “buy now, pay later” trend gains momentum, it’s high time to rethink how you accept credit card payments. But, if you caught wind of this already, kudos for staying ahead of the curve!
As for the next stride in perfecting your credit card payments…You’re now one step closer to revolutionizing your credit card payment gateway.

Online shoppers demonstrate an immense amount of whimsy in their shopping plans, with a whopping 30% of U.S. respondents saying that they would halt a purchase if their preferred payment method wasn’t accepted or if the checkout interface was too complex. (Baymard, 2023 survey)
