See every featureStop fraud before it happens! Beacon uses various large data sets like VoIP, disposable email address, and phone numbers, CVV codes, multiple accounts, and more in-order to cross check high risk transactions and to track for suspicious behaviors before bad actors can get away with fraud. Customize and fine-tune the fraud filter and blacklist system to fit various business needs.
Blox stops repeat chargebacks, refund abuse, and serial returners before they place another order. On install, Blox imports your order and chargeback history automatically, so customers with past chargebacks are identified from day one. Customers using multiple emails or accounts are merged into one profile. When one merchant flags a fraudster, the community-powered blocklist protects every Blox store.
