How is that making a difference? These are sales that were already happening and you allowed them to do something like "pay with paypal" and then claim the entire sale?

Making impulse purchases easier can capture sales that would never have happened otherwise.

That's why Amazon developed (and unbelievably were able to patent) "one-click ordering."

If you implement different local payment providers that you could see higher conversion rates.
