The literature review delves into the complexities associated with fraud mitigation, including the need for a balance between fraud prevention and customer experience. Additionally, the review explores the potential of innovative technologies such as AI and blockchain for fraud prevention. Sustainability challenges for e-commerce businesses are also discussed, including the lack of awareness and the complicated supply chain. However, the review identifies opportunities for businesses to address these challenges using sustainable materials and renewable energy. The research methodology employed semi-structured interviews with 10 e-commerce businesses in Pakistan, from various industries and business sizes.
