Take a look at this list to see the critical needs of any e-commerce merchant:

Security. Credit card fraud is the very nightmare of e-commerce businessmen. Not only it gets you a bad rap but it also increases your chances to get lockdown. Why is it so? Credit card fraud and chargebacks often go hand in hand.The victim of a digital crime applies for a chargeback. If such cases happen on a regular basis, you risk getting busted. The rate of chargebacks should not exceed the point of 4%. For example, you sell 1000 physical product per month. If you get 40 chargebacks, you are in trouble. Well, don’t panic. High-quality PSPs have fraud and chargeback prevention systems to keep you safe.

The wide range of payment methods. E-commerce merchants target clients from all over the globe. The wider your net is, the more successful you are. This is why any e-commerce merchant needs a wide range of payment methods. There are traditional options that are a total must: Visa, MasterCard, JCB, Discover, Diners. Besides, there are local payment methods you should not underestimate. They vary according to your specific geo-preferences.

In-app payments. Allied Market Research states that by 2023 global mobile payments will exceed £3.5 trillion. Thus, they really are a big deal. Merchants should not ignore that fact. In-app payment is fast, native and extremely easy. You hit the “Buy” button and you are done. Make sure that PSP of your choice provides payment gateways for mobile apps.
API integration. You’ve dedicated a lot of time and efforts to attract clients. You don’t want to lose them at the very end of the buying path. Redirecting to another payment page is risky.
