Is your client running an online shop, doing everything to convince the visitor to click pay button and finally he does it?

If this was an in-store purchase the merchant could have started celebrating a successful sale since it would have been just a technicality to complete the payment, either by cash or with a payment card, in a matter of seconds. But here the chances that the shopper will not finish the payment process are sky high and the reasons are known: the process lasts too long, a lot of sensitive data need to be filled in, additional authentication step 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: free your online shopper from strong authentication whenever there is a low risk that fraud may happen. Netcetera eCom exemption advisor helps merchants make the right decision when to do it by defining and applying an exemption strategy from SCA.

Transaction Risk Analysis (TRA)

Risk score: low
Payment range: 100€ – 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 with purchase amount trash hold, 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 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 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 done by merchants who can perform the cardholder authentication themselves.
