Summary

Payments. Risk. Retention.

As net new online customers are increasingly hard to find, the shopping cart itself - the design, tools and level of consideration needed is the next battleground.

Whilst there is a debate to be had about the level of “friction” that should exist within the checkout experience, new devices and options within payments and account-setup are moving so quickly that it is easy for your checkout to become bloated.

Enabling alternative payment methods (APM’s) brings a whole stream of benefits to both customer and merchant. As more and more ‘easier’ ways to pay are introduced and expectations adapt, the need to remove friction from the checkout process will become ever more vital to your overall brand strategy. Whilst this is the case, the on-going requirement to mitigate risk against fraudulent orders must be adapted and dovetailed into this new payment landscape to ensure fraud associated losses are limited.

The panel of industry professionals guided us through an interactive discussion about what processes and tools you can put into place to ensure your business is ahead of the game.
