MWITA-CUX-2026-001 · Evidence A · P1
In randomized holdbacks on Stripe Checkout, surfacing at least one additional locally relevant payment method beyond cards increased completed purchase conversion by 7.4% and revenue by 12% on average; effects were highly heterogeneous by method and market.
What this does not establish
The evidence does not establish the same uplift for non-Stripe checkouts, ineligible users, every merchant category, refunds, fraud, disputes, margin, churn or long-term customer value. Average conversion and revenue effects must remain separate.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
The aggregate positive result contains an explicit null for ACH conversion and very large market-specific effects, contradicting any single universal payment-method uplift.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, channel changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
