Maximize margins with PayPal Braintree’s end-to-end solutions

With over half of firms aiming to increase revenue margins in the next 2-3 years to improve risk tolerance, paying close attention to chargeback* rates becomes vital in meeting ideal profit margins2.

Each chargeback* not only results in financial loss but also the loss of the product or service sold to the customer, impacting your bottom line. High margins translate to higher risk tolerance as legitimate transactions hold greater value than potential fraud loss. In contrast, businesses with low margins have thinner profits, making them more sensitive to any loss—including those caused by fraudulent transactions.

Our payment security tools and proprietary data mix help you mitigate risks, detect fraudulent transactions, and minimize chargebacks* without causing friction at checkout or increasing the risk of false declines by utilizing the following:

Streamlined checkout experience: Embrace a conversion-driving checkout experience by securely saving your customers' payment methods for seamless purchases today and in the future.
