Payment Fraud Integration

Payment Fraud

  • Overview

    What is payment fraud? Online payment fraud is when a fraudster uses stolen card details to make purchases online. Fraudsters can buy large numbers of stolen card details on the dark web and then attempt to use them to make purchases. Fraudsters can use payment fraud to get products for free for themselves or they can monetise payment fraud by selling the goods for a profit. You can read more about online payment fraud in our Insights Guide.

  • Sending Device Info

    Comprehensive fraud protection begins with customer pre-purchase behaviour. Ravelin utilises signals from customer devices, current browsing session and activity during the checkout process to help differentiate bad actors from legitimate customers. The data acquired from these libraries is critical to our ability to provide informed payment fraud recommendations. Ravelin provides JavaScript, Android and iOS client-side libraries which can generate and gather this customer device data on both web and mobile platforms.

  • Requesting Recommendations

    Recommendations at checkout To request a payment fraud recommendation when a customer attempts to place an order, send a request to our Checkout endpoint using the Checkout Pre-Auth Checkpoint or Checkout Post-Auth Checkpoint. To use the Checkout Pre-Auth Checkpoint add score=checkoutPreAuth as a query parameter to the URL. The request should contain the customer, device, payment method, order and transaction data. Each of these entities is described below: Customers Customers place orders, attempt payment transactions, spend on payment methods, log in from devices and file chargebacks.

  • Sending Updates

    Accepted orders If you have accepted an order you should send a Checkout request with an updated order status. Since you are not requesting another recommendation, you do not need to add a checkpoint query parameter to the URL. You should set the following two fields: order.status.stage = "accepted" order.status.actor = "merchant" You should also provide the latest transaction details in the transaction object. An example request is shown below:

    As part of preventing payment fraud we will train a machine learning model which uniquely identifies the fraud you are experiencing. We will then use your model to evaluate your live traffic and return recommendations. We recommend using live data to train your initial model. We typically need to collect live data for at least a month to train your initial custom model. However, we can also use historical data to train your initial model.
