Security and checkout friction remain top concerns for UAE online shoppers

Security concerns continue to be the leading frustration for 40 per cent of online shoppers in the UAE, while nearly 37 per cent are irritated by the need to manually enter card details during checkout, according to Visa's latest Checkout Friction Report released on Monday. Despite the rapid growth of eCommerce and significant strides in advancing the UAE's digital economy, the report highlights that retailers still have room to improve the online checkout experience and boost customer satisfaction. The findings are based on a survey of 2,016 online shoppers across the GCC, including the UAE, and delve into common pain points in the eCommerce checkout process that impact both consumer satisfaction and business performance. Key insights include: - One in three UAE respondents (33 per cent) shop online for groceries multiple times a week. - For categories like fashion, entertainment, and electronics, shopping frequency ranges from once to several times a month. 'Challenges in the online checkout process have direct implications for businesses—leading to lost revenue and hindering both customer acquisition and retention,' said Salima Gutieva, Visa's Vice President and Country Manager for the UAE. 'Today's consumers expect—and deserve—a seamless and secure eCommerce experience. That's why Visa is collaborating with partners to implement solutions like Click to Pay, which uses biometrics and tokenisation to address key pain points and enhance convenience. These improvements not only drive business results but also support the UAE government's vision of a secure, digital-first economy.' The report also underscores the importance of security in online transactions: - 58 per cent of consumers are concerned about fraud or hacking when storing card details across multiple websites. - 42 per cent have experienced fraud or security breaches firsthand. There is strong consumer demand for a more streamlined checkout process: - 65 per cent favour a single registration for online payments across all participating merchants. - 67 per cent would opt for biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint or face ID) over traditional methods like passwords or OTPs. For businesses, the message is clear: simplifying and securing the checkout process can significantly influence consumer behaviour. - 82 per cent of respondents said they would shop online more frequently and complete more purchases if a one-click checkout option were available. - 66 per cent expressed a high likelihood of using 'Click to Pay with Biometrics' if offered by online retailers. The UAE eCommerce market is projected to reach $12.28 billion in 2025, with expectations to grow to $21.18 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 11.52 per cent, according to Mordor Intelligence. The number of eCommerce users is expected to reach 5.7 million by 2029, with a user penetration rate of 49.6 per cent in 2025, increasing to 58 per cent by 2029.

UAE-Syria travel: Emirates to restart flights to Damascus

Emirates is set to reintroduce flights to Damascus from July 16, after operations were suspended to the Syrian capital in 2012. The return of services follow a comprehensive evaluation in conjunction with the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority. The airline will initially start with three weekly services on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday, with plans to expand to four weekly flights from August 2 with an additional flight on Saturday. Emirates will expand its Damascus services to daily operations, effective October 26. The airline's services to Damascus will operate with a 302-seater Boeing 777-200LR and is planned to depart Dubai as EK 913 at 1200, arriving in Damascus International Airport at 2.10pm local time. The return flight, EK 914 will depart Damascus at 4.30pm, arriving in Dubai at 8.30pm local time. The flights will advance UAE's efforts to strengthen bilateral ties and support Syrian aspirations to rebuild and attract foreign investment across key sectors such as energy, construction and agriculture. Emirates customers flying to and from Damascus will also benefit from the airline's codeshare partnership with flydubai, which will complement its flight schedule and provide more options and convenience when flying in and out of the Syrian capital. 'Re-establishing air travel and connectivity is also good news for our customers that make up the expansive Syrian diaspora across the Americas, Europe and the GCC, who are eager to fly back home and reconnect to their roots, and leverage their knowledge, skills, expertise and resources in ongoing development efforts," said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group. The UAE and Syria's trade volumes reached $680 million (Dh2.5 billion) in 2024, a 23 per cent increase over the previous year, and the new flights will further stimulate vital trade ties. The UAE's thriving Syrian community of over 350,000 nationals have played an integral role in the UAE's prosperity, contributing through entrepreneurial ventures and skilled expertise while further enriching the country's vibrant cultural tapestry. Emirates commenced services to Damascus in 1988, and prior to suspending operations in 2012 the airline carried over 2.1 million passengers in and out of Syria. The airline currently flies to 13 cities in the Middle East/GCC, serving the region with a total of 191 weekly flights.
