e-commerce

In today’s economic climate it’s easy to think that everything is all doom and gloom.

Despite the downturn online sales in January 2009 increased on average across all sectors 19% compared to January 2008, with clothing, footwear and accessories the biggest winner, up 32% year on year. And this year Christmas and January set new records again for on-line sales.

What about Online fraud?

Online Fraud is a growing problem and merchants who trade online can be vulnerable. If you don’t take appropriate precautions you can be liable for all fraudulent orders (card chargebacks). But if you get it right then you are fully protected.

Our powerful fraud detection systems, combined with Visa/Mastercard 3-D Secure online verification and our PCI-compliant hosting means that you need never be liable for chargebacks should a fraudulent transaction occur. So you can concentrate on growing your business, not worrying about fraud.
