According to Juniper Research, e-commerce merchant losses to online payment fraud will exceed $25 billion by 2024, compared to $17 billion in 2020.
The study highlighted that non-European e-commerce merchants should adopt two-factor authentication to prevent increasing levels of sophisticated fraud. In addition to that, payment gateways will be essential to ensure these security requirements are implemented at scale.
Besides, the research claimed that e-commerce merchants must take on a more educational role for their users. This way, they will gain knowledge about cybersecurity practices and common fraud methods. Furthermore, that might encourage them to make changes to the checkout process to improve fraud mitigation.
