What is payment fraud?

Payment fraud is the misuse of payment details or purchase processes to make unauthorized transactions or obtain goods and services fraudulently.

How does ShieldLabs help prevent payment fraud?

ShieldLabs detects bots, disguised browsers, multi-accounting and account takeover around web checkout. Identification risk assessments help protect purchase flows and genuine buyers.

Does the score belong to the payment?

The numeric risk score belongs to an identification. It provides a ready-made visitor risk assessment around checkout; it is not a separate score for a card or payment.

Can I investigate repeat account abuse around purchases?

Yes. ShieldLabs provides linked-user detections, identification risk assessments and available high-risk events around checkout activity.

Can ShieldLabs protect guest checkout before login?

Yes. ShieldLabs identifies browser visits and returns bot detections, named risk signals and an identification risk assessment before login. Integrate these results into guest checkout with your existing payment provider.

Can it help with card-testing attempts?

Yes. ShieldLabs detects browser bots and disguised environments around payment attempts. These ready-made detections help protect checkout from scripted card testing.
