Cross-border transactions are very common today, and savvy consumers use the internet to buy directly from merchants all over the world, both online and through their mobile devices. Although the market is growing exponentially, merchants fear payment fraud. That causes them to turn away 6.8% of cross-border transactions, compared to 2.9% of domestic orders. But as it turns out, the percentage of fraud in domestic and cross-border transactions is virtually the same (0.9%).

Signifyd’s solution takes away the fear and enables you to capture more good cross‑border transactions. The Signifyd Commerce Network includes transactional and behavioural data from thousands of merchants shipping products into 100+ countries, as well as leading data service providers.

Consumers have demonstrated that they are comfortable with cross‑border shopping

Whatever the current economic headwinds, global ecommerce is in for substantial growth in the years ahead. eMarketer says the worldwide opportunity for digital commerce will reach $6.17 trillion by next year. Online sales have continued their robust growth — up 33% year over year in 2021 — even as shoppers return to stores in larger numbers, if not at pre‑pandemic numbers. One significant part of this growth is the increase in cross-border transactions — up 45% this year compared to pre‑pandemic figures, Signifyd data shows. As a growth opportunity, ecommerce presents a unique retail opportunity.

Just as online consumers can buy from nearly anywhere in the world while nearly anywhere in the world, online merchants can set up shop nearly anywhere from wherever they are.

Cross-border purchases aren’t foreign to European consumers

Online shoppers in the UK, France and Italy have demonstrated that they will buy from merchants outside their home countries. In fact, 87% of UK consumers say they shop cross-border, and that number rises up to 90% in EU members France and Italy. Between 1/5 and just over 1/4 of shoppers surveyed make more than 30% of their online purchases cross-border.
