As online transactions increase year-on-year, the need for businesses to retain customers, reduce cart abandonment and grow their revenue becomes paramount.

One solution for businesses looking to leverage payment to attract and retain customers is payment integration on Wix, a robust platform with a comprehensive suite of tools designed to streamline online transactions and enhance the way businesses handle online payments.

The digital economy thrives on the ability to conduct transactions swiftly and securely. Hence, the ability to process payment seamlessly has become a necessity for every business that aims to provide excellent experience for its customer base. Any hiccup in the purchase process can lead to abandoned carts, lost revenue and diminished customer trust. Seamless payment processing ensures that customers can complete their purchases effortlessly, boosting satisfaction and loyalty.

Overview of Payment Gateway Integration for Wix Stores

Wix integration delivers a feature-rich platform that caters to businesses of all sizes. It provides an array of functionalities designed to enhance the payment experience:

  • User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design makes it easy for businesses to set up and manage their online payments.
  • Secure Transactions: Advanced security measures protect both businesses and customers from fraudulent activities.
  • Instant Payouts: Fast access to funds can significantly improve a business’s cash flow, allowing for better financial planning and stability.
  • Multiple Payment Options: Support for various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, mobile money and other local payment systems.
  • Multi-Currency Support: This feature is crucial for businesses with a global customer base, allowing customers to pay in their preferred currency.
  • Global Reach: Ability to accept payments from customers worldwide, broadening the potential market for businesses.
  • Real-Time Analytics: Comprehensive reporting tools to track sales, monitor performance, and make data-driven decisions.

How Integrating a Payment Gateway Addresses Common Pain Points for Wix Store Owners

Integrating a robust payment gateway, such as SeerBit into Wix effectively addresses several common pain points associated with online transactions. Some of these are:

Limited Payment Options: 

Your online store most likely has a diverse range of customers and each person has their preferred payment method. Failure to provide their preferred option may lead to lost sales and cart abandonment. Over some time, this may lead to cash flow issues as revenues are affected. However, a payment gateway allows you to offer multiple payment options on your checkout page, reducing the possibility of lost sales and cart abandonment, and improving customer satisfaction, while allowing you to cater to and retain a broader customer base and potentially boosting your sales revenue.

Poor Checkout Experience:

A poor or complicated checkout experience is one of the major reasons why shoppers abandon their carts. People tend to exit the checkout page if payment is not seamless and straightforward. However, this is a problem you can’t handle on your own as a store owner. That is why you need a payment gateway integration. A payment gateway helps to optimize the checkout page, ensuring the experience is seamless for shoppers. By removing friction with features, such as one-click payments, customers can complete more of their purchases. This improves the customer experience with your business, leading to increased customer retention and sales, and fewer cart abandonments.

Payment Security:

Statistics show that 18% of shoppers do not complete their purchase because they don’t think their payment information is safe with the -ecommerce retailer. Security is clearly a major concern for both store owners and customers. Many shoppers don’t complete purchases due to fear of fraud and data breaches. The best way to win their trust and ensure their payment details are protected is by integrating a payment gateway into your store.  Payment gateways come with robust security features, such as PCI DSS compliance, SSL encryption, and other fraud prevention and detection tools, which keep customer data safe and build trust and confidence in your store.

International Payments:

 It can be challenging for online stores to deal with international transactions, especially having to deal with issues, like currency conversion, regulatory compliance and international fees. However, by integrating a payment gateway, you get support for multi-currency transactions, without dealing with avoidable issues. This capability allows you to expand your business to a global market, increasing your client base and driving revenue growth.

Nigeria’s Internet Usage Hits 1.24m Terabytes – NCC

Published

Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said that Nigeria’s internet usage reached a record 1.24 million terabytes in November 2025.

Nigeria’s Internet Usage Hits 1.24m Terabytes – NCC

According to the latest data from the NCC, the figure rose modestly from 1.235 million terabytes in October, reflecting steady growth in digital activity across the country.

Broadband penetration in Nigeria crossed the halfway mark in November 2025, reaching 50.58 per cent, up from 45.61 per cent in January, the telecoms regulator reported.

The figure, however, falls short of the 70 per cent coverage target outlined in the National Broadband Plan 2020–2025, which expires this month.

The country had roughly 109 million broadband subscriptions by November. Growth has been uneven, hindered by infrastructure and regulatory constraints, including frequent fibre-optic vandalism that triggers 30 to 43 network cuts daily, high right-of-way fees, and declining subscriber numbers earlier in the year.

Expansion of mobile networks, particularly 3G and 4G services, alongside limited 5G rollouts in urban centres, affordable smartphones, and competitive data plans, has driven uptake.

Investments in the National Communications Backbone and private-sector initiatives have also improved access, especially in underserved areas.

While Nigeria is gradually improving digital inclusion, achieving the original broadband plan remains challenging due to high infrastructure costs, coverage limitations, and deployment hurdles.

The NCC maintains that continued investment in mobile networks and broadband infrastructure will sustain gradual growth in the sector.

Commenting on the development, some Nigerian analysts attributed the surge to the broader mobile and broadband adoption and the growing appetite for streaming, online learning and other digital services.

According to the analysts, the figures suggest that internet connectivity is no longer a luxury but a necessity for both business and leisure, underscoring the slow but steady expansion of Nigeria’s digital economy.

Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) has named the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) among the top three Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government with the Best Ranking in Website Performance for 2025.

NCC Ranked Among Top 3 MDAs for Best Website Performance in 2025

L-R: Head Special Projects, Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Salamatu Andu; Executive Commissioner, Technical Services, Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), Engr. Abaraham Oshadame; Director General Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), Head Customer Support Service, Galaxy Backbone, Rosemary Ehize; Secretary to the ES. Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, Tahir Aminu at the BPSR award ceremony for top four MDAs in BPSR Website Performance and Ranking 2025 at the BPSR office on Tuesday, 23rd December, 2025.

This is coming barely three weeks after the telecom regulator was recognized as one of the top five best-performing Federal Government agencies for 2025 by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) – a testament to the Commission’s consistency in investment in technology for ensuring efficient service delivery.

In the BPSR 2024/2025 scorecard ranking of agencies’ websites, the NCC came second in the ranking, trailing behind Galaxy Backbone Limited, which came first while the Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC) clinched the third position, from a pool of 235 MDAs, whose website were evaluated.

BPSR deployed 14 evaluation criteria in include MDA’s website compliance with .gov.ng domain name, appearance and aesthetics (look and feel) of the website, content, relevance to MDAs mandate/government policy and the website’ structure.

Others include website’s responsiveness (device compatibility), security, load time, usability/ease of navigation, availability/uptime, functionality, interactivity, accessibility and capacity building.

The recognition was announced at the official release of Federal Government 2024/2025 Scorecard Ranking for MDAs’ Website held at the Federal Ministry of Finance Auditorium in Abuja on Monday (December 22, 2025) while the award presentation took place at BPSR’s Office on Tuesday (December 23, 2025).

The award, which is an important index metric of the National e-Government Masterplan for determining the Nigeria e-Government Status, was received by the Commission in recognition of its commitment to maintaining a world-class website that enhances service delivery to the citizens.

Receiving the award on behalf of the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Dr. Aminu Maida, the NCC’s Executive Commissioner, Technical Services, Abraham Oshadami, appreciated the BPSR for the recognition, describing the award as “another encouragement for the Commission to be a better public service institution leveraging digital platforms such as our web presence to enhance public service delivery to our various stakeholders, thereby implementing the Federal Government’s Ease of Doing Business policy direction.”

While presenting the award to the NCC, alongside other two agencies, BPSR’s Director-General, Mr. Dasuki Arabi, commended the top three for their proactive decisions in maintaining world-class websites, which are compliant with the Federal Government’s policy direction in effective and efficient service delivery to the citizens.

According to the DG, the 2024/2025 MDA’s websites’ ranking represents a collective effort of federal public institutions in Nigeria to be transparent, accountable and open in governance, as well as a confirmation to align with global best practices in service delivery to the citizens.

Developed about six years ago, Arabi said as a result of the annual ranking, more public institutions have indicated readiness to embrace reforms, and align with the policy direction of the current administration’s Renewed Hope agenda on improve governance for effective service delivery, as introduced by His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“The ideals of harnessing and deploying technological tools for service delivery has become imperative following the COVID pandemic, and distortions of socio-economic system of nations, culminating in the evolution of competitiveness, cost effectiveness, and agile governance.

“As engine room of governance, it behoves on us in the public service to perform our statutory duties and we must put in place technological innovations and standardized websites to operate services as well as deliver service needs to citizens,” he said.

The Scorecard exercise, he said, is part of the BPSR reform broader function of conducting research on reform implementation efforts and presenting ‘best practice’ models to the entire Public Service, and to among others, improve access to government information, facilitate seamless financial transaction, eliminate corruption and cyber theft, as well as facilitate access to government services.

Speaking on the rigorous nature of the exercise that produced the top three winners, the DG said “in the past few weeks members of the Scorecard Jury drawn from inter-Ministerial Agencies, had worked tirelessly to mill websites of selected MDAs through a rigorous process of enduring criteria for the ranking and the outcome had also passed through a quality assurance mechanism to validate the outcome.”

Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, has dismissed reports that bank accounts not linked to a Tax Identification Number (TIN) will be frozen or automatically debited from January 1, 2026.

Oyedele Dismisses Claims Bank Accounts Without TIN Will Be Frozen

Taiwo Oyedele

Oyedele described the claims as false and misleading, warning Nigerians against panic over misinformation surrounding recent tax and financial reforms.

In a post on his X handle Tuesday morning, he wrote: “Don’t let anyone manipulate you. Your bank account is safe. Misinformation makes you panic and fear a reform that is designed to help you.

“When they tell you that your account will be frozen or automatically debited from January 2026, ask them for the evidence in the new law. Be wise.”

He stressed that no provision in the new tax laws authorises the freezing of bank accounts, adding that the rumours are part of widespread misrepresentation of the reforms.

The committee chairman reiterated that the reforms are intended to simplify Nigeria’s tax system and ease the burden on ordinary citizens, not to impose punitive measures on bank customers.
