How Ideem Reduces Cart Abandonment Rates

According to Statista, 22% of users abandon their online shopping carts due to complicated checkout processes. This statistic highlights a critical issue for e-commerce businesses: even after convincing customers to select products, a clunky, frustrating checkout flow can undo all that hard work, leading to lost sales and diminished customer satisfaction.

The Problem: Complex Checkout Flows Kill Conversions

Picture this: a customer has spent time browsing, selecting items, and finally clicks "Checkout." But then they hit a wall of hurdles—multiple authentication steps, confusing redirects, and the dreaded One-Time Passcodes (OTPs) that require switching apps or waiting for an SMS. Each additional step creates friction, and with every second of delay, the likelihood of cart abandonment increases.

This problem is not just about convenience; it's about revenue. High abandonment rates directly impact conversion metrics, customer retention, and ultimately, the bottom line.

The Root Cause: Insecure, Outdated Authentication Methods

Most e-commerce platforms rely on traditional 2FA methods like OTPs to secure transactions. While these methods were once standard, they now contribute to the very friction they were meant to prevent. OTPs are prone to delays, interception risks, and user frustration. Even worse, they create a false sense of security, leaving businesses vulnerable to sophisticated fraud techniques.

The Solution: Ideem’s Universal 2FA for Seamless, Secure Checkouts

At Ideem, we believe that security should never come at the cost of user experience. Our Universal 2FA solution is designed to be an easy, plug-and-play replacement for OTPs, seamlessly integrating into existing checkout flows without the need for complex development work.

Here’s how Ideem transforms the checkout experience:

• Invisible Security: Our Zero-Trust Secure Module (ZSM) provides continuous, device-bound authentication in the background. No codes to enter, no apps to switch.
• Plug-and-Play Integration: E-commerce businesses can replace outdated OTPs with Ideem quickly, minimizing development time and maximizing ROI.
• Faster, Frictionless Checkouts: By eliminating unnecessary steps, Ideem reduces cognitive load and keeps customers moving smoothly through the payment process.
• Stronger Security: Device-bound authentication is inherently more secure than OTPs, protecting against phishing, SIM-swapping, and interception attacks.

Visual Proof: Simplified Flows with ZSM

• Today's OTP Flow: Involves multiple screens, manual code entry, and increased risk of user drop-off.
• Flow with ZSM: Streamlined to just two steps—confirm payment and receive instant confirmation, with background authentication handled silently and securely.

The Bottom Line: Better UX = Higher Conversions
