The Trust Quotient

NEW REPORT: How Online Merchants Build Trust With First-Time Customers Keeping data protection front and center can help merchants put first-time customers at ease — and keep them coming back. In The Trust Quotient: How Merchant Trust Drives Shopping Behaviors, PYMNTS surveys 2,563 U.S. consumers to better understand what visual cues consumers seek — and need to build trust — when deciding to check out with a merchant they’ve never shopped before.
