FMG Tech Forum Workshop Spotlights ‘Payment Authorization Failures’

As e-commerce sales continue to grow, so do payment authorization failures, which is when financial service providers flag a customer’s online order. That means the order has to be manually reviewed, which makes approval rates plummet — along with sales.

Just how big an issue is this? According to Riskified, $600 billion is locked up as a result of this process. But the company offers automated technology that not only increases approval rates but decreases chargebacks as well.
