Failed Payment Authorization at Checkout: How eCommerce Loses Lifelong Customers

In 2019, an estimated 10% of the dollar value that reaches online checkout will fail payment authorization, resulting in approximately $340 billion worth of potential eCommerce revenue going unrealized. An estimated 70% of these orders are placed by legitimate customers who can afford the purchase.
