In the process of online purchase, the shopping cart is responsible for transmitting the related card information and description of the order to the payment gateway. That one in its turn, sends the information to the acquiring bank, throu

The number of steps in checkout processaffects greatly the volume of sales in your online store. Statistics say that if there are more than 5 steps, one of three customer decide to abandon the cart. In our opinion, the optimal number of steps is 3, provided that the Virtual POS terminal works in insecure mode, without 3D secure protocol. If the Virtual POS is set for SEC protocol, the total number of steps in checkout process increases to 4. This does not mean that the customer will always leave the cart, but the chances of abandonment will be higher.

As we have previously said, the optimal number of steps in checkout process is 3. Always keeping in mind that th

One-click payment (1 click payment) was an invention developed by Amazon programmers with the aim of selling more and summing up all the process of online purchase in 1 click.

In our opinion, this purchase process has misleading advertising since i order to make a purchase in just one click the user has to present previously all banking information. Which means that if a customer decides to buy an item for the first time on the Amazon platform, he cannot place the order and pay in a single click, since he has to register and go through all the following steps:

• Confirm e-mail
