Whether for cross‑border e‑commerce platforms or digital retail businesses, a smooth and secure payment experience is key to driving customer conversion.

In today’s global marketplace, how can companies achieve simple integration across multiple currencies and diverse payment methods? And how can they improve transaction efficiency while ensuring safety and compliance?

The collaboration between Nissan and Silkpay stands as a benchmark for global brands in digital payment transformation. By integrating Visa and Mastercard payments directly into its official website through Silkpay’s API, Nissan successfully created a genuine one‑click payment experience for customers.

This article explores the core challenges faced by e‑commerce brands and explains how Silkpay helps cross‑border businesses optimize payment flows, enhance user satisfaction, and build a solid foundation for global growth.

1. How to build a frictionless payment flow online?

Many brands’ websites still have a lengthy payment process, which lead to multiple redirects, repeated data entries, and even payment interruptions.
These issues create unnecessary friction, lower conversion rates, and reduce customer confidence.

The solution:
Silkpay’s API or plugins (WooCommerce, PrestaShop) integration enables direct payment on the brand’s own website without unnecessary redirections.
Users can complete transactions with multiple payment methods in one place, no external links, no additional registrations.

• Faster page loading

• Elimination of unnecessary redirects

• A checkout that significantly improves transaction completion rates

For Nissan, this approach provides a unified and secure payment flow, while customers enjoy a faster and more reliable checkout experience.

2. Balancing global reach and local adaptation

For cross‑border e‑commerce customers, buying from a website that allows them to pay in a foreign currency without ridiculously high exchange rates is a must. But still, not many online stores have understood that this point is one of the most important to customers.

The solution:
Silkpay’s solutions allow merchants to manage multi‑currency transactions efficiently. If your store’s currency is Euro, your cross-border customers will pay in their local currency with the best real time exchange rates and you, as a merchant, will receive settlements in Euro (Your currency). This is beneficial for you and your customers and will definitely make them come back to your store.

3. Ensuring payment security and stability

Payment processing involves sensitive data, and without strong security measures, companies face potential risks that could harm both customers and the brand.

As businesses expand internationally, it becomes essential to protect data while keeping payment operations efficient.

The solution:
Silkpay employs industry‑standard encryption and full compatibility with 30+ payments’ security frameworks, including 3D Secure.
Its real‑time risk control system identifies and blocks suspicious activities automatically.

• End‑to‑end encrypted transmission to prevent data breaches

• Real‑time monitoring to detect and stop fraudulent transactions

• Transaction traceability and compliance auditing

Thanks to this approach, our client’s “Nissan” payment system now meets international security standards and reinforces its reputation as a trustworthy digital brand.

4. Efficient management and scalability of payment systems

Global businesses often struggle with fragmented data, disorganized payment systems, and maintenance burdens. How can payment operations be unified and scalable at the same time?

The solution:
Silkpay’s modular API architecture allows flexible expansion based on a company’s size and needs.
For Nissan, Silkpay provided end‑to‑end technical support, from API setup and data connection to compliance checks and payment system improvement.

• Modular design for fast and flexible scaling

• Integrated online and offline transaction management

• Continuous technical support and system maintenance

Whether upgrading features, handling higher volumes, or adding new payment methods, Silkpay enables stable operations and expansion.
