How tokenization and SRC address challenges in e-commerce

Digital commerce (e-commerce) is still growing much faster than physical commerce and cards remain the most used payment tool in Europe. This digital shift is accompanied by multiple trends. For example, concentration of e-commerce with large merchants and mega commerce platforms is increasing. Regulatory requirements such as PSD2 have a strong impact and mobile will be on par with computers. Digital natives are demanding consumers who expect fast, secure and convenient payment experiences.

These trends pose several challenges for e-commerce payments with regard to security, user convenience and conversion, especially in e-commerce checkouts such as card-on-file and guest checkout. Tokenization and Secure Remote Commerce (SRC) address a variety of these challenges and concerns in e-commerce payments for PSPs and merchants.

Network tokenization through the schemes connects merchants with issuing banks, resulting in various advantages compared to PSP proprietary tokens. It addresses risk/security challenges in e-commerce checkouts, especially for card-on-file. Secure Remote Commerce additionally addresses user experience and convenience in guest checkouts.
