Payment is an important step in customer's journey that requires precise attention since practically anything can discourage customers from finalizing the transaction.

To improve customer experience you can add multiple payment methods to the checkout page or set Magento payment methods images. To improve customer experience even more you can set the default payment method on the Magento checkout page.

Why?

If there is a tendency or some preferred payment method customers regularly opt for on your online store, why not set it as default so customers don't have to perform any extra actions.
