Christmas is a time of joy, gift-giving and increasingly popular online shopping. But as more people shop online each year, the risk of fraud and card misuse on the internet grows as well.
How 24pay payment solutions help ensure secure online shopping
Trust is a key factor in online shopping. Customers choose e-shops they trust. At 24pay, we work exclusively with verified and reliable online stores. This gives your customers the confidence that they are purchasing from trustworthy merchants.
Transaction security is just as important - not only to earn customer trust, but also to ensure that their sensitive data is fully protected. The 24pay payment gateway is designed to ensure both secure payments and the protection of customers’ payment data. As a result, sensitive information such as credit card numbers is not accessible to unauthorized parties.
We’ve put together a few tips to help your customers shop online easily and safely:
Check the website URL
Before you start shopping on any e-shop, check the website’s URL. Make sure the address begins with "https://" instead of "http://". The "https" indicates that the website uses an encrypted connection, which helps protect your data from unauthorized access.
Read reviews from other customers
Before making a purchase from an online store, take some time to read reviews and feedback from other buyers. This can give you a good idea of the store’s trustworthiness and the quality of its services.
Use strong passwords
When creating an account on an e-shop, use a strong password that includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable passwords, such as birth dates or simple words.
Update your software and antivirus system
If you are shopping over a wireless connection, make sure it is protected with a strong password. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for sensitive transactions. Always shop on a secure and private connection.
Secure your Wi-Fi connection
If you are shopping over a wireless connection, make sure it is protected with a strong password. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for sensitive transactions. Always shop on a secure and private connection.
Check the return policy
Before making a purchase, we recommend reading the store’s return policy. In case of any issues, you know what your rights are and how to proceed if anything is unclear.
Use credit cards
When shopping online, it is generally safer to use credit cards rather than debit cards. Credit cards usually offer better protection against fraud. If something goes wrong, you can request a refund through a chargeback. We also recommend regularly checking your credit card statements and watching for any unusual transactions.
We hope these tips will be helpful, whether for you or your customers.
Wishing you a happy holiday season and joyful shopping moments. 🎅🎁
