What’s this? Here you’ll find 45 annotated “Payment Method” design examples from Baymard’s UX benchmark of 60 major e-commerce sites. (Note: this is less than 1% of the full research catalog.)
During our large-scale usability testing of mobile checkouts we’ve observed that the Payment Method selection is yet another mobile checkout design where a large number of e-commerce sites use a design pattern that causes usability issues for users. On mobile the Payment Method design is particular difficult to get right, as most sites have one predominant method (typically credit card), yet still need to show a handful of 3rd-party payment options, which can be difficult to balance within the small mobile viewport.
