Fraud is a very real threat to eCommerce stores and can be extremely costly to store owners. A single fraudulent transaction could easily cost you $150 or more. If you aren’t already proactively working against it, you should be.

When a purchase is flagged as possibly fraudulent, an email can be delivered automatically to the site admin and/or to the customer in order to request additional information necessary for verifying the purchase. Once the purchase is reviewed by a site manager, the receipt and download links can be released to the customer. If the purchase is confirmed to be fraudulent, Fraud Monitor allows you to easily reverse the payment, preventing costly chargebacks or fraud penalties in the future.
Fraud Monitor includes the ability to moderate payments when:

• An email addresses matches common fraud patterns.
• An IP address has already been flagged as possible fraud.
• A purchase comes from a country store owners identify as having high fraud rates.
• A purchase pattern contains product combinations that a typical customer wouldn’t purchase.
• A purchase has an unusually high total.
• A purchase has an unusually high number of items.
• A purchase is made from outside a certain radius in relation to the billing address.
• A store owner manually flags a payment to be reviewed or as fraudulent.
