# WooCommerce Integration Malaysia Payment Plugin Recommendation: A Must-Have Tool to Improve E-Commerce Conversion Rate

When running a WooCommerce online shop in Malaysia, choosing the right local payment method is crucial to increasing conversions. In this article, we'll give you a detailed overview of the WooCommerce payment plugins that are best suited for the Malaysian market and help you provide a smooth checkout experience for your customers.

Why do I need a payment plugin specifically for Malaysia?

The Malaysian e-commerce market is characterised by unique payment habits and culture. Unlike the common use of credit cards in Europe and the US, Malaysian consumers prefer to use local bank transfers, e-wallets and cash payments. By integrating these localised payment options, you can:

- Significantly reduce shopping cart abandonment rates
- Meeting the preferences of different consumer groups
- Building local customer trust
- Avoid high commission fees for cross-border transactions

How to evaluate the best solution for you?

Consider the following three key dimensions for decision matrix analysis.

1. Coverage metrics: Count the top 3 most common payment methods used by your existing customer base and make sure the gateway covers at least two of them.

2. Cost-benefit ratio: Calculate the expected monthly transaction volume x the rate of each platform + fixed fee, paying attention to hidden costs such as refusal to pay penalties.

3. O&M complexity: check whether additional prerequisites such as SSM business licence or company bank account are required.

Common Misconceptions Warning.
