What is Avoid Direct Payments?
Avoiding direct payments means reducing the visible friction of parting with money, for example by using stored credit, points, or a saved card instead of asking users to re-enter payment details each time. Research shows the physical or visible act of paying creates psychological pain that can reduce purchase likelihood. Reducing that friction supports a more favorable conscious evaluation of the purchase decision.
