Keys to Reduce Fraud in your e-Commerce

Financial risk management tools: the most effective strategy to reduce fraud and optimize your conversion cycle

It is possible that reducing fraud is one of your main concerns when managing an e-commerce website.

Working to combat it is a constant task: you want to offer your clients the best frictionless payment experience, but scammers adapt fast and immediately find a way to circumvent all system updates.

E-commerce websites really need a fraud control method in order to detect and stop it, reversing the fewest number of right transactions as possible (sometimes wrongly identified as fraudulent and cancelled).

Fintech tools and strategies to optimize your finances

According to a study by the Merchant Risk Council, it is estimated that turnover of online merchants falls on average 2.5% due to suspected fraudulent payment. What if not all declined transactions were fraudulent and you were cancelling true payments? This apparently small percentage can mean millions of losses for your business. It is therefore crucial to use risk management tools allowing you to take better decisions: you must detect fraudulent payments by blocking the fewest number of authentic transactions. This is where financial partners come into play, such as PayXpert, that work to develop financial optimization tools minimizing fraud in your business.
