User Interface Tips UI

If you are using this payment method through a DIRECT integration, follow the tips below in order to make it easier for your customers to complete payments, boosting your conversion rates.

Element	Tip
Ticket Number	It is the number that payers must dictate to the cashiers in order to complete payment. Name it "Referencia" and separate it this way so it is easier to read: 3 digits - 3 digits - 4 digits.
Currency and Amount	Should be relevant elements in the ticket. Users need to have that information very clearly.
Currency Symbol	$
Convenio	This identifies the payment beneficiary and although it is not usually necessary for payment, sometimes it helps cashiers to find the payment on their system.
Barcode	Some cashiers prefer to scan the barcode rather than asking for Reference and “Convenio”. Helping cashiers is a way to improve conversion rates.
Expiration date	Display this element clearly and visible enough. In Colombia, the date format is DD/MM/YYYY.
Accreditation delay	Let users know that their payment will be credited immediately. This brings confidence and a sense of security that helps conversion rates.
Payment instructions	Although most users are familiarized with Efecty, it is a good practice to help those who are not. The image above is an example of instructions, but if needed, our team will be happy to help you with more personalized instructions.
Store locator	Link it to google.com/maps/search/efecty/.
Save button	It helps users to have their tickets always on their phones, making it needless to take notes or keep the browser open.
Print button	It is useful for some users who need to have their tickets printed.
