Summary
There is no doubt that retail overall is facing many challenges in 2019 and online retail is no exception. ONS reported that retail sales in 2018 grew 3.69% to £423bn; IMRG’s figures showed the online component grew by 11.8%, with growth forecast to slow in 2019 to around 9% overall. The reasons for the slowing in growth are for debate elsewhere. However, they set the background for this report. Retailers are under increasing pressure to find growth and, while their customer proposition is key, performance management has never been more important.
This is an IMRG report looking at things to consider when optimising payment acceptance processes for higher conversion.
