Preventing Credit Card Fraud

This article discusses preventing credit card fraud

Updated over 2 months ago

A fraudulent chargeback is a frustrating dispute. If the order was truly placed with a stolen card, your chances of winning the dispute are effectively zero. However, that doesn't mean that fraudulent orders are a necessary evil; Paytronix Online Ordering provides several mechanisms to proactively combat credit card fraud.

The Key: Prevention

As noted above, once the order has been fulfilled and the cardholder disputes the charge, your chances of actually winning the dispute are quite low, if it is really a stolen card. The key to fighting fraud is prevention, catching the fraudulent orders upfront.

Paytronix Online Ordering Fraud Filter

Paytronix Online Ordering provides a fraud filtering solution that will score orders and alert you to potentially-fraudulent orders. This will allow your staff to further validate the order by checking the customer's card and ID, to make sure everything is in order.
