The 2026 checkout benchmark: what actually converts

We analysed 50 million checkouts across 40 countries. Here's what the data says about what works — and what doesn't.

Every extra field drops conversion. Every extra click costs money. We analysed 50 million MondialPay checkouts across 40 countries to find the patterns that separate high-converting stores from the rest.

Top five findings

  1. Showing local currency increases conversion by 11% on average.
  2. Apple Pay/Google Pay lift conversion 23% on mobile.
  3. Trust badges above the Pay button add 4-6%.
  4. Address autocomplete saves 11 seconds per checkout.
  5. One-click repeat purchases convert 3x better than guest flows.
