Retail Identity Is Where Customer Experience and Fraud Prevention Fight the Same Battle — and Both Have to Win.
The customer experience imperative is clear: login must be fast and frictionless, because every second of friction between a customer and a purchase is a second in which they can abandon the session and buy from a competitor. The security imperative is equally clear: retail e-commerce is one of the highest-volume fraud targets in the consumer internet. The difference between a retail identity program that achieves both outcomes almost always comes down to the quality of the orchestration.
ISG has designed and built retail identity programs on Ping Identity for major North American and worldwide retailers — multi-brand portfolio organizations, global e-commerce platforms, and large-format physical retailers building unified digital identities across in-store, online, and mobile channels.
