Protect your shoppers and prevent fraudsters simultaneously.
WHY IS FRAUD PROTECTION SO ESSENTIAL?

Any Ecommerce or MOTO transactions need to work close to the payment's provider with excellent fraud prevention solutions to ensure that their customers’ data and the prevention engine are the best can be.
In certain cases, fraudsters holding hacking card data allow them purchase on your website. As a merchant, you will deliver the product before the card holder opens a dispute and ask for reimbursement (chargeback). You may be left without the product and without the money. In addition, the payments provider or acquiring bank will learn about the fraud and may terminate your merchant account, breaching chargeback thresholds rate, and/or FRAUD TO SELL rate. You'll be put on a blacklist, or pay fines, meaning it will be hard to reopen a new merchant account.
