Why do UAE online shoppers abandon card payments at checkout?

Cart abandonment in UAE ecommerce sits around 70%. Beyond delivery cost and trust signals, a meaningful share is wallet hesitation — the shopper suspects their card isn't the optimal one for this order and pauses to research. By the time they finish researching, the basket is forgotten. Showing the right card inline removes the hesitation in the same place it appears.

Does the widget work with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and custom stores?

Yes — the snippet is framework-agnostic. It's a single ` ` tag plus a target ` `. Drop it on Shopify product/cart pages, WooCommerce checkout, Magento, BigCommerce, or any custom stack. Shopify Plus stores using Checkout Extensibility need our native Shopify app build (on our roadmap).

Does Kredit replace my payment gateway?

No — Kredit is not a payment processor. Your Stripe, Telr, Network International, N-Genius, or Checkout.com setup stays exactly the same. Kredit only shows the customer which credit card earns the most cashback on this order — payment still runs through your existing gateway.

Does the widget collect payment data or PII?

No. The widget is a cross-origin, sandboxed iframe and never reads your page or form fields. Its URL contains the merchant slug and, if you choose to provide it, the AED cart total. It does not receive card numbers or email addresses. Confirm your own PCI obligations with your payment provider or assessor.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — the widget is completely free for approved merchants. No setup fee, no monthly subscription, no commission. Kredit earns from card issuers when shoppers apply for new cards through our recommendations.

Why card choice matters at UAE online checkout

• Wallet hesitation is a real abandonment driver — shoppers pause when they suspect their card isn't the right one for this order.
• UAE shoppers carry 2-4 credit cards with very different category rates online (1%-20%). Most don't quickly remember which wins where.
• The decision is made at the payment step. Inline cashback information turns hesitation into a completed order without changing your gateway.
