The Challenge

Before automation, the third-party billing company lacked a direct Shopify payment method, leading to a custom workaround where credit checks occurred after order placement. This resulted in customer confusion as they believed their orders were successfully placed, only to receive later emails requiring upfront payment. This process increased customer support inquiries and decreased order completion rates due to the unclear payment process.

Our Solution

The automation integrates Shopify's API to conduct instant credit checks at checkout. Customers receive immediate, friendly notifications if their credit check is negative, with a direct link to a draft order where they can select an alternative payment method. This process eliminates confusion and streamlines the payment process, reducing friction and improving user experience.
