See every featureBuyerCheck helps merchants reduce losses from failed cash-on-delivery (COD) orders. Using artificial intelligence, it analyzes customer behavior and predicts risk at the checkout stage. When a potentially risky buyer is detected, the store can automatically disable COD, request prepayment, or handle the case manually by checking the full analytics report after accepting the order.
Fraud Control provides you with the tools to automate fraud operations and maximize revenue. Understand your store's fraud risk with analytics, such as acceptance and high-risk order rates. Fraud Control will recommend predefined rules or you can create custom rules to block known fraudsters in the checkout before they become orders.

- Auto-disable COD at Checkout (optional)
