The Frictionless Checkout Experience
The Frictionless Checkout Experience

We know that your customer’s store experience is everything. It makes all the difference between basket drop off and successfully securing a sale. You strive to provide a frictionless checkout experience and mitigate any barriers which would prevent your visitors from converting to customers. 

So what exactly is a frictionless checkout experience and how can you achieve this ideal whilst integrating resilient defence systems that defeat fraudsters without adding friction to the process?

How to Combat Chargebacks and Account Takeovers

Fraudulent orders eat into your bottom line and consequently threats such as #chargebacks become a liability to your business success. For every $1 stolen by fraudsters, reports suggest that merchants spend around $3.36 on chargebacks, losses and fees. As banks and #payment providers rule in the customer’s favour, #merchants are required to bear the cost of chargebacks.

Another technique used to scam online businesses is Account Takeovers or ATOs and this type of fraud swelled 282% in 2020 (@Tech Republic), hand in hand with the rise in #ecommerce shopping. 

#ATO fraud occurs when a malicious user accesses private information that allows them to log into a real customer’s account. Bad actors can then make fake orders through rerouting the delivery to themselves, using a real customer’s payment details. Inevitably, the account owner realises unauthorised purchases were made and requests a chargeback refund. By this point, you’ll have shipped the order to the fake user, who is greedily awaiting the goods.

These attacks are fueled by automation designed to overwhelm your store. But fear not, as there are several tools you can use as a key part of your #security and trust strategy. 

We know you want to prevent checkout friction and create a seamless online experience to satisfy your consumers. At the same time, you want to create a multiplier effect of #customer loyalty and engagement with your store. And, all the whilst creating a word of mouth ripple to facilitate growth. 

All of this can be achieved, hand in hand by stopping fraudulent users in their tracks and blocking their every move. Don’t want an order to be fulfilled due to high risk? Then we won’t let it.  

Before You Fulfill The Order: Your Key Checks

  • Cross reference the billing and shipping information. Do they match? Have a dive into the customer’s previous orders. Have they ever sent their order to this address? If not, could they be ordering for a friend?
  • Examine the IP address used. How do you know if it is suspicious? For instance, malicious IPs which have been flagged as fraudulent appear on our network. By integrating a fraud protection solution, you can use these additional tools to guide your decision making on whether the order is real.
