YTGATE Launches New Series on Payment Solutions for E-Commerce

YTGATE's New Series on E-Commerce Payments

In July 2025, YTGATE, a Tokyo-based company, will launch a new series in the Net担当者フォーラム by Impress Corporation, focusing on the critical aspects of credit card payments and security in e-commerce. This initiative aims to shed light on less visible challenges such as revenue loss and fraud risk, providing actionable insights for professionals in the field.

Overview of the Series

The series, titled That Can Be Solved with Payments: Reviewing Points That Connect Sales, UX, and Fraud Prevention, will explore the often-overlooked importance of payment processes in maximizing sales, enhancing user experience (UX), and mitigating fraud risks. By analyzing industry trends, regulatory changes, and practical insights from real-world practices, the series aims to answer critical questions about optimizing payment processes for better results.

The first installment will focus on the revenue and trust loss incurred from failed transactions, revealing the real challenges faced by e-commerce operators and consumers based on YTGATE's original studies. The findings will highlight the gap in perceptions and the impact of regulatory changes, while offering practical approaches to improve the situation.

As part of this series, YTGATE intends to illustrate how seemingly minor payment errors can lead to significant brand disengagement and revenue declines, advocating for a more proactive management indicator of payment approval rates.

Background of the Launch

The upcoming series is set against the backdrop of the implementation of the Credit Card Security Guidelines 6.0 in March 2025. This new regulation escalates the obligations of merchants to include not only fraud prevention but also addressing vulnerabilities. Key requirements include the mandatory implementation of EMV 3-D Secure for all domestic and international online transactions, alongside strengthened access controls on management screens and vulnerability countermeasures for web applications.

Given the reality of record-high fraud amounts, with 55.5 billion yen reported in 2024, there is an escalating necessity for e-commerce businesses to develop robust payment systems equipped with security literacy. Understanding not just the what and how of these regulations but also the underlying reasons becomes increasingly critical for successful implementation.

In combining the institutional and technological challenges e-commerce operators face with YTGATE's practical knowledge, this series aims to contribute to the overall improvement of security literacy within the industry and bolster brand trust and recognition.
