As e-commerce expands globally, Latin America is emerging as a dynamic region for cross-border online sales. With a projected e-commerce growth rate of 25% year-over-year, it has become one of the fastest-growing markets worldwide. By 2025, the region’s e-commerce market is expected to reach $100 billion, fueled by increasing internet penetration and mobile-first consumers. Businesses looking to expand internationally cannot afford to ignore this promising market.

But how can you position your business for success in this competitive landscape? What can you do to make sure you’re cross-border ready?

1. Create a seamless shopping experience

Latin American shoppers expect convenience, security, and personalization, especially when purchasing cross-border. Offering a localized shopping experience can significantly enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.

A major pain point for cross-border consumers in the region is unexpected fees such as taxes, shipping costs, and currency conversion charges. Up to 45% of shoppers abandon their carts when faced with surprise costs at checkout. Additionally, payment preferences play a pivotal role: 40% of consumers will leave a website if their preferred payment method isn’t available.

To create a frictionless experience:

Support local payment methods. Latin America heavily relies on alternative payment methods like Boleto Bancário, Pix, and local credit cards.

Display prices in local currencies and clearly outline taxes and delivery fees upfront.

Offer fast delivery options and easy returns policies to build trust and reduce buyer hesitation.

With Beeteller’s expertise in processing payments across Latin America, your business can easily integrate local payment solutions, ensuring a smoother customer journey.

2. Understand regional payment preferences

Payment behavior in Latin America varies widely across countries, making it essential to tailor your approach. Digital wallets like PicPay are growing in popularity, while real-time payment systems like Pix in Brazil have revolutionized online transactions.

Furthermore, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is gaining traction in the region, particularly among younger demographics. By 2025, BNPL is expected to account for a significant share of e-commerce transactions in Latin America, presenting an opportunity to attract more budget-conscious customers.

Partnering with a payment provider like Beeteller ensures access to a wide array of payment options, backed by in-depth knowledge of local markets. This enables you to customize your checkout experience for each country, boosting conversion rates and customer retention.

3. Prioritize fraud prevention and compliance

Fraud remains a significant concern for online shoppers in Latin America. Over 60% of consumers in the region worry about the safety of their transactions, and rightfully so—e-commerce fraud losses in the region are projected to exceed $5 billion by 2025.

To build trust and protect your revenue:

Implement robust fraud prevention tools. Beeteller’s advanced KYC (Know Your Customer) and compliance solutions ensure that every transaction is secure.

Use real-time monitoring and to minimize chargebacks and unauthorized transactions.
