Key takeaways for LiqPay
Where is it heading?
The business payment market is consolidating around stable, multi-functional platforms, leaving LiqPay exposed due to its lack of feature parity and registration barriers. Unless the team restores core functionality and expands regional access, the app will continue to lose relevance to competitors like Kapitalbank.
- Registration failures for international users drive high-frequency complaints, which limits the total addressable market and stunts new merchant acquisition.
- Persistent biometric authentication failures erode user trust, which compounds the rating drag already visible on both iOS and Android platforms.
The SWOT
- Specialized QR and geolocation payment tools for small business merchants
- Administrative control via user role management
- Expand regional phone validation to support international merchant growth
- Restore feature parity with the primary web portal
Next best moves
Audit phone validation logic because international users report registration failure → increase addressable market.

Multi-currency transfer capabilities (available in Kapitalbank Online but absent here) +1
Since the last report: The app's utility is now severely constrained by regional registration blocks and biometric failures, shifting the PM focus from general maintenance to critical funnel remediation.
Bottom line
LiqPay provides valuable merchant tools, but critical registration failures and mobile-web feature gaps drive a 1.33★ rating, so the PM must prioritize registration stability to stop the immediate churn of international merchants.
