Fraud Prevention Tip: Scrutinise the payment methods – As an online retailer you need to know the types of payment methods and their pros and cons in terms of your business. For example regular credit cards (AMEX) tend to favour the cardholder in disputes (chargebacks sound familiar)? But they are still the most widely used payment method and you do have to look at the convenience of your customer. Paypal on the other hand is a more merchant friendly option and has advanced scam protection features and advanced machine learning capability that actively works to mitigate scam risk. On the other hand Paypal also authorises chargebacks it’s not totally fool proof. Cryptocurrencies are another popular payment method; the blockchain tech makes it nearly impossible for forced refunds and since there are records of all transactions it is undeniable by the customer. On the negative side the value of cryptocurrencies is quite volatile so what’s it worth today it might hold the same value the next day or it could be worth more.
