With the growth of online shopping, it’s vital not to miss out on any of the opportunities behind every transaction.
To this end, one of the challenges facing retailers is to improve their conversion rate by avoiding interruptions in the payment journey, caused by a strong authentication process often perceived as a step that can create friction.
What are the solutions then for reducing shopping cart abandonment and boosting your revenue?
An optimized payment journey with Safe’R By CB!
CB, France’s N°1 card and mobile payment network, has developed this innovative program based on the 3-D Secure v2 protocol to optimize the benefit of strong authentication exemptions while controlling the risk of fraud.
For transactions under €250, it thus allows eligible HiPay merchants to achieve up to 95% frictionless 3-D Secure, enabling them to offer an uninterrupted shopping experience thanks to simplified, passive authentication that minimizes end-customer intervention.
As Renan Le Bot, CB’s Director of Distribution and Sales Promotion, points out:
“Safe’R By CB is a service from the ’R By CB offering, providing all e-merchants who benefit from it with a smooth, secure payment journey without Strong Customer Authentication. It offers merchants the promise of a significant, risk-free increase in their frictionless rate, and thus in their revenue.”
