Which payment services should businesses consider as part of their long-term strategy ?

Businesses should carefully select payment solutions based on their unique needs , goals and risks , while focusing on the customers ’ needs in the decision-making process .

Amazon Payment Services offers a wide array of payment services and solutions that provide a seamless customer experience , including tokenisation technology , local payment methods , third party services such as advanced fraud tools and AWS Private Link , instalments , Buy Now , Pay Later , digital wallets , gateway redundancy and reporting APIs .

Regardless of the specific payment technology , businesses must invest in robust fraud-prevention solutions to secure the payment process . One of the most important pieces in the payment security puzzle is 3D ( three-domain ) Secure authentication .

Comprehensive support for 3D Secure is one of a multitude of services and solutions from Amazon Payment Services that enable a safer online shopping experience for your customers .

Why is scalability so important for organisations today and how does Amazon Payment Services enable this through its solutions ?

Scalability is crucial for e-commerce businesses , as websites need to be able to withstand spikes in traffic . If a customer sees that a merchant ’ s website is down , they will simply move on to a competitor .

Merchants have the challenge of scaling to meet company growth and periods of peak order volume , preventing friction for the customer , reducing chargeback and fraud losses , minimising false declines and keeping the cost of fraud prevention itself down to a reasonable level .

Amazon Payment Services enables merchants to reach out to millions of customers with fully scalable payment solutions . By working with thousands of merchants at every scale , based on their feedback , we completely revamped the onboarding process to empower them to create their own payment experience that will allow them to select the services that fit their customers ’ needs .

Today , we process transactions for thousands of businesses across multiple industries . With such a diverse customer base , we have built strong expertise that supports businesses at every scale , from SMEs looking to establish their online presence to largescale enterprises requiring a dependable payment service to handle high volumes of transactions safely .

How does Amazon Payment Services set itself apart from others in this market and why should businesses consider you as a strategic partner ?

Established as PAYFORT in 2013 as one of the first FinTech companies in the region , we have gained a deep understanding of businesses ’ needs across the region . In 2017 , Amazon acquired PAYFORT as part of the Souq Group acquisition . Since then , the focus has been on integrating PAYFORT and Amazon offerings to provide businesses with a convenient and trusted service .

Amazon Payment Services is now wellestablished , with more than 4,000 merchants across MENA and over 2,000 in the UAE , and is already one of the most trusted digital payment service providers in the region , having securely processed millions of transactions to date .

Today , we bring together local know-how and Amazon ’ s global expertise , something we believe is a significant benefit to both businesses and merchants , and ultimately customers across the MENA region . �
