Upselling in the Digital Age: Integrating ESTO's Payment Solutions for Higher Sales

In today's competitive retail landscape, upselling has become a crucial strategy for increasing revenue and enhancing customer satisfaction. However, many merchants face challenges in smoothly incorporating upselling techniques with digital payment systems.

ESTO's innovative payment solutions offer a streamlined approach to overcoming these challenges, enabling cashiers to suggest additional products effortlessly and customers to accept them with ease.

The Challenge of Digital Upselling

As retail transactions increasingly shift to digital platforms, traditional upselling methods—such as in-person recommendations—are evolving. Merchants often struggle to integrate effective upselling strategies into their digital payment processes without disrupting the customer experience. The key lies in offering flexible and convenient payment options that encourage customers to consider additional purchases without hesitation.

ESTO's Payment Solutions: A Catalyst for Upselling

ESTO provides a suite of payment solutions designed to facilitate upselling in the digital age:

• ESTO 3: This popular method allows customers to split their purchase into three equal, interest-free installments. Merchants receive full payment immediately, while customers enjoy the flexibility of spreading their payments. This option makes it easier for customers to agree to additional purchases, knowing they can manage their expenses over time.
• ESTO Hire Purchase: For higher-value items, this solution offers up to a 60-part payment schedule with zero deposit required. Customers can make larger purchases without immediate financial strain, increasing the likelihood of accepting upsell offers.
• ESTO Pay Later: This option enables customers to buy now and pay within 30 days, interest-free. Merchants receive payment immediately, ensuring cash flow is not impacted. This method appeals to customers who prefer to defer payment, making them more receptive to upselling opportunities.

This can make the upsell more appealing by reducing immediate financial burden.
3. Bundle Products with ESTO 3: Create product bundles that offer complementary items together. Use ESTO 3 to allow customers to split the total cost into three interest-free installments. This approach can encourage customers to purchase more items at once, increasing the average order value.
