Should I add express payment options for Black Friday?

As a Shopify store owner preparing for Black Friday, I'm evaluating whether adding express payment options like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay could improve my conversion rates. I've heard these can reduce checkout friction, but I'm unsure about the actual impact on sales, implementation complexity, and whether the effort is worth it for a high-traffic shopping event like Black Friday. I want to understand the strategic benefits, potential conversion lift, and technical considerations for integrating these payment methods.
