How Automated Payment Verification Boosts Pakistan E-Commerce Checkout Conversion by 34%

The Hidden Cost of Checkout Friction in Pakistan

In Pakistan's e-commerce ecosystem, Cash on Delivery (COD) accounts for over 70% of transactions. However, COD carries severe disadvantages:

• High Return to Origin (RTO) Rates: 20% to 35% of COD parcels are returned unpaid.
• Delayed Cash Flow: Courier companies hold funds for 7 to 21 days before remitting cash to merchants.
• High Courier Handling Fees: COD charges add an extra PKR 50–100 per shipment.

Why Direct Pre-Payments Fail at Checkout

When merchants attempt to offer manual Easypaisa / Bank Transfer as a pre-payment option, conversion rates drop drastically. Why?

"Leave our checkout, open your bank app, transfer money, take a screenshot, open WhatsApp, message our number, and wait for our reply during business hours."

This 6-step multi-app hurdle causes 60% of interested buyers to drop off before completing payment.

The 3-Second Instant Verification Funnel

When merchants switch to TezVerify's hosted on-page checkout verification:

1. In-Context Payment Instructions: Clear QR code and account details are displayed directly on screen.
2. Instant TID Entry: The customer submits their 10-digit transaction ID immediately.
3. Real-Time Visual Feedback: Within 3 seconds, the screen transitions to a verified success state and displays order confirmation.

• 34% Increase in Pre-Paid Orders: Buyers prefer instant confirmation over waiting for WhatsApp responses.
• 52% Reduction in Order Inquiries: Support teams receive fewer "Did you get my payment?" messages.
