Shoppers can choose any payment options such as credit, debit and alternative payment methods while also being able to make use of instalment plans.
Leveraging the tokenisation solution, the Netherlands-based furnishings retailer will be able to build up a positive customer experience at checkout and support its operating environment in conformance with global PCI DSS security requirements.
Wirecard said that the collaboration is rounded off by its Enterprise Portal WEP, which enables IKEA Country Finance and IKEA Southeast Asia finance to check card payment transactions in real-time.
The solution also offers an option to use the risk management system FPS (Fraud Prevention Suite) by Wirecard that detects suspicious data and behaviour patterns in real time to thwart fraud by using technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence.
