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.

Prevent chargebacks, detect fraud, and stop risky orders before they become disputes. FraudGuard helps merchants monitor orders in real time, spot suspicious activity with clear risk signals, and customize fraud rules by country, email domain, and first-time customers.

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.
  • Configurable risk scoring with threshold-based cancel or flag.
  • Email blacklist & domain filter to block suspicious addresses.
  • Country blocking to restrict orders from high risk regions.
  • First-order rules for high value new customer checks.
