Is your client running an online shop and doing everything to convince the visitor to click the pay button?
If this were an in-store purchase the merchant could have started celebrating a successful sale early, since completing the payment, either by cash or card could be done in a matter of seconds. But online, the chances that the shopper will not complete the payment process are sky high and the reasons are known: the process lasts too long and additional authentication steps may be applied as a security measure…
How can the merchant prevent losing the shopper in the final step?
There are lot of different answers to this question, and here is one of them: exempt your online shopper from strong authentication whenever there is a low risk of fraud. Netcetera eCOM Exemption Advisor helps merchants make the right decision when to do it, by defining and applying an exemption strategy from SCA.

Take a step forward
Merchants and PSPs want to provide a safe and seamless payment experience in order to boost their revenue. Cardholders want to have an easy, convenient and valuable experience when shopping online.
36%
of merchants consider online payment fraud as the No. 1 risk for their business
18%
of cart abandonment during checkout occurs due to a complicated checkout process.
In order to improve security, the PSD2 regulation imposes Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) that authenticates the cardholder via two-factor verification. This leads to an online shopping experience with friction, that adds an extra step for cardholders to finish their transaction.
This is where our solution steps in!

Transaction Risk Analysis (TRA)
Risk score: low
Payment range: <500€
Can be applied only for low-risk transactions if merchant, acquirer, or PSP is doing a risk assessment. Beside the low-risk precondition, TRA is limited by the purchase amount threshold, or Exemption Threshold Value (ETV), based on the acquirer’s fraud rate.
Low-value Payment
Transaction amount: ≤ 30€
This refers to a transaction that does not exceed 30 euros. In addition, the total amount of the last SCA should not exceed 100 euros, or the total number of previous transactions initialed by the payer since the last SCA should not exceed 5 consecutive transactions.
Recurring Payments Exemption
This applies to a transaction which follows an initial payment where SCA was applied. All subsequent payments must come from the same payee and must be smaller or equal than the first authenticated transaction.
One Leg Out Transaction
This occurs when the issuer or the acquirer of the transaction is not in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Delegated Authentication
With this exemption, the authentication is carried out directly by merchants, who can perform the cardholder authentication themselves.
