Why use Kushki

Merchants can accelerate the conversion if they resort to the payment option that guarantees a frictionless shopping experience along with convenient payment processing. The members of the company call it conversion optimization. It is possible to select the integration solution depending on the model of business.  It can be API, plugins, libraries, smartlinks or payment buttons.

The company employs smartlink, a highly effective conversion solution that raises the conversion of merchants. The tool leads customers to direct purchase. The system offers to create Kajitas, personalized payment forms, which are needed to receive payments from the store or web app without problems. It is a quick and secure method that can be implemented through two payment forms. These are Cajita, a non-customizable payment form of pre-defined payments, and Kajita, which is the version enabling customization from the Administration console. There are several versions of Kajita for each payment method. 

The payment button allows accepting payments with bank cards, cash, and transfers. This button generates a URL that includes the payment form, which expires in 15 minutes. It is used to redirect customers and to urge them to buy the commodity or service. The payments are hosted on the servers of the company, hence are secure. The payment button is also customizable, and can be customized from the console. It is easily integrated to the ecommerce platform and comes integrated with security validation services (Sift, OTP). Merchants can activate the preview of the button, and then edit the result to your preferences. There is also a default timer offered to merchants to encourage conversions.
