![]() “It’s a new market, and everyone jumps in with both feet, then all of the sudden there is consolidation and 95 payment types transforms down to eight types because everyone in the market is not going to make it.” ![]() The advancement of multi-channel merchants - those with storefronts, websites and apps - is causing some consolidation of payment options, Bush said. Only half of the merchants surveyed said the mobile channel requires additional or specialized fraud tools, the lowest level in six years of the study. Since 2013, Kount’s data indicates merchants have steadily reported an increase in awareness of mobile fraud risks, but about 35% of them still do not track mobile fraud or do not know whether fraud attempts increased or decreased last year. That, in part, explains the slip in mobile wallet acceptance. For the third straight year, the company noted “signs of complacency and even regression in terms of managing mobile fraud risk,” Bush said. “That is confusing to the consumer and their payment processor probably doesn’t accept all of them anyway.”īoise, Idaho-based Kount surveyed 600 e-commerce merchants in compiling its sixth fraud and payments survey. “What is starting to happen for online folks is they know they can’t put 20 different payment logos on their site,” Bush said. Today’s e-commerce merchants are looking at as many as 270 different digital payment types worldwide, depending on regions and countries, he added. “But when they don’t see a lot of consumer acceptance, they know PayPal has been there for years, so let’s just go back to that.” “It’s a case where merchants are saying Apple has 800 million user accounts, so we’ll put Apple Pay on our site,” Bush said. Samsung Pay fell to 14% from 15%, Visa Checkout grew to 28% from 26%, Masterpass stayed at 8%, and Chase Pay at 6%.Īmerican Express Checkout enjoyed the biggest gain in support among the bank-supported brands, growing acceptance to 16% from 9% of merchants. However, support for PayPal increased from 48% to 64%, while the share accepting Samsung Pay, Visa Checkout, MasterPass and Chase Pay all stayed even or within two percent of the previous year. “The Apple Pay drop is pretty significant, but I believe the folks at Apple are putting a lot of eggs in the at-store basket, pushing it more at the physical POS and maybe neglecting the online market a bit,” said Don Bush, vice president of marketing at e-commerce fraud prevention and risk management provider Kount Inc. The percentage of e-commerce merchants accepting Apple Pay in 2018 is down to 35% from the previous year’s 48%, while Google Pay is down to 25% from 38% a year earlier, according to Kount’s annual Mobile Fraud & Payments Survey. This is causing merchants to abandon big-name wallet apps in favor of brands that have more history behind them. Rather than pile on more wallet options, businesses are pondering whether to create applications with embedded payments, establish a mobile browser or continue to use their e-commerce platforms as a browser. I have a rule for any links from the Twitter App to open in Safari for example.The advancement of digital wallet technology in the past five years may be having a numbing effect on merchants, as new research indicates several major mobile wallets are losing momentum. You can do it based on URL, or the Application the link is coming from. After 24 hours of use I am sold, and purchased it.Ī great feature of Choosy is you can set up rules so you don’t have to choose the browser you wish for link. ![]() Having recently moved back to Mac full time I was confident there would be an App or some solution to fill my needs, and one quick search found Choosy, a preference pane application for the Mac that does exactly want I want and more. The same applies for emails, especially ones that come from ticket systems or source control emails, again I want these to open in the browser I am using for those sites. Take for example I want to open a link from the Twitter App, I would like this to be opened in Safari, but if someone messages me on Slack with a URL for a test server or production server issue I will want to open that in one of the Chrome browsers I have open for that environment. Having to set a default browser is a hard choice because I don’t always want links to open in the default browser. I primarily use Chrome and Chrome Canary for developing in, Safari for personal browsing and Opera for random other things.
