How it sells itself

Stop 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.

Strict fraud tools get more aggressive during the holidays. They block real shoppers as often as fraudsters, right when order volume peaks. That means lost sales, frustrated buyers, and chargebacks you don't deserve. ClearSale fixes that. Every order gets reviewed using AI and human analysis, so you approve more good customers and stop actual fraud. If a fraudulent order slips through, we cover the chargeback.

Key points
  • ANALYZE - fraudulent orders using powerful risk data to spot risky behaviors.
  • TRACK - credit card fraud, account takeovers, promotional abuse, checkout bots.
  • CUSTOMIZE - the fraud system & set various fraud parameters for different needs.
  • AUTOMATE - order cancellation/void, holding orders, & control payment capture.
  • Prevent ecommerce fraud - Protect your revenue and stop fraudulent activity
  • Recover losses to chargebacks - Get compensated for fraud-related chargebacks
  • Improve the customer experience - Approve more orders and prevent false declines
