Credit cards allow you to offer an even swifter checkout for returning shoppers. As soon as they have used their card once they can simply buy at your store without the need to re-enter card details over and over again. Basically they are able to buy with a single click.
Especially for the growing number of people buying on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets this really is a great feature. It speeds up payment, brings ease-to-mind and creates 'stickyness'.

Especially for online stores with international ambitions the acceptance of MasterCard and Visa is crucial and a 'must'. Most of the e-commerce purchases around the world are paid for by credit and debit card, whether it is for domestic or cross-border purchases.
There is no any other online payment method that has such global reach. With only one contract your ecommerce shop is able to take payments online from both consumers in your home country and from abroad.

In some countries with strong local alternative payment methods, cards rank second in terms of online usage. Sometimes these alternative payment options are not as reliable as they should. When there is a specific outage - for example with online banking - your customers are not able to pay.
To prevent a frustrating and brand damaging shopper experience, it is recommended to provide a reliable back-up for those instances where shoppers can not complete payment. Credit cards and card processors are known for their high up-time (around 99.99%) which makes them a great 'alternative' to alternative payment methods and a perfect back-up.

Credit cards are well-suited for so-called recurring billings or payments. Cards allow you to automatically charge for returning invoices for memberships or subscriptions. You would only need approval once to charge your customers' credit card without their involvement.
Since cards are known for their credit line, it also minimises the possibility of non-payment - and your related handling costs - considerably.
