Survey Reveals U.S. Retailers Are Missing Out on Global eCommerce Opportunities


Kount, the leading AI-driven fraud prevention provider, and BlueSnap, an All-in-One Payment Platform, have released a new Internet Retailer survey and report finding global eCommerce will top $3 trillion this year for the first time. One of the major findings is that despite more consumers shopping internationally, retailers say fraud prevention and currency and payment processing are obstacles to taking advantage of the growing market. The full survey results are available here.

60% of retailers cite "currency and payment processing" and 60 % cite "fraud prevention" as obstacles to international eCommerce

 

International consumers are increasingly shopping online, with North America's top 1000 e-retailers selling $143 billion worth of goods to customers outside the U.S. Amazon accounted for 44% of those international sales, largely because of its first-mover advantage. But the study found there is opportunity for retailers to gain significant market share by expanding their global efforts.

More than half of online shoppers have already purchased goods outside their country. Despite the opportunity for U.S. online retailers to sell internationally, less than half of them ship outside the country. The survey also found 67% of retailers agree international ecommerce is a critical source of future growth, and 52% concur with the statement that international ecommerce "is suitable for us because we have many international customers and followers of our brand and products."

The study found that two primary concerns are preventing North American retailers from catering to international shoppers: fraud and the challenge of accepting foreign currencies and payment types. 60% of respondents cited "currency and payment processing" as a top obstacle to international ecommerce. An identical 60% pointed to "fraud prevention."

A partnership between BlueSnap and Kount enables retailers engaged in international eCommerce to address their two primary concerns?fraud prevention and payments processing?with a single vendor relationship.
