TL;DR - Quick Answer

Yes - enable Apple Pay and Google Pay immediately. Mobile wallet users convert at 15-25% higher rates than card entry on mobile because they eliminate the main friction point: typing 16-digit card numbers on a small keyboard.

Mobile Wallets for Cyber Monday

Mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay) are the single highest-ROI checkout optimization for mobile Cyber Monday shoppers. They remove the biggest friction point - card entry - and replace it with a single tap or face scan.
