Why Payments Aren’t the Only Conversion Lever

You can have strong payment options and still leak revenue on PDPs. Beseam focuses upstream: improving and protecting conversion performance before checkout—with a safe ship loop and KPI guardrails.

Checkout can be healthy while PDPs quietly leak revenue
Payments data doesn’t tell you what to change on PDPs
No element-level tracking for CTAs/forms tied to conversion goals
No versioned PDP rollout pipeline with KPI monitoring and rollback
