Popular payment methods from around the world

“Checkout.com is integrated into all the region's most popular local payment methods. Through one API, we’re able to make the payment methods live across our entire portfolio.”

A wave of Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) are gaining popularity with customers around the world, as 60% of ecommerce consumers say they would abandon their cart if they cannot pay with their preferred payment method.

A digital payment method is also known as an electronic payment. It is the transfer of value from one payment account to another using a digital device. Mobile phone and online bank transfers, mobile wallet payments, in-app payments, online payments (via a computer or a mobile phone), QR code payments, and every other electronic payment qualify as a digital payment.

Alternative payment methods — APMs for short — refers to any form of payment that isn’t cash or a major international credit card brand. 

Domestic cards, cash-based vouchers, digital wallets — such as Apple Pay and Google Pay — or bank transfers, including iDEAL in the Netherlands, POLi in Australia and New Zealand, and Przelewy24 in Poland are all considered alternative payment methods.
