What the Ecommerce Forum South Africa is doing during the COVID-19 emergency?
We've been working tirelessly behind the scenes to help Ecommerce growth during the pandemic.
Notice: as of 1 October the new 3D version 2.0 (3Dv2.0) will start to be used by the banks. 3D is the security system often used when an online purchase is made. The present 3D system requires the buyer to respond to their bank with an OTP number which is sent to them by SMS. The new system will use artificial intelligence to reduce the times that the buyer will be sent an OTP number. OTP numbers will still be used but much less frequently.
COVID – Keeping ecommerce safe for all.
Please ensure that your delivery services practice social distancing when they take delivery and when they deliver.
That they wear masks.
That they sanitize the parcel and the pen if a signature is required of the consumer.
That you use electronic payments as much as possible.
Please let us know if you encounter any problems. We have been asked for feed-back by government.
Thank you – and keep safe and sanitized!
