A second look before it ships

Fraud protection reads each order for the signs that the card or the buyer isn't what they seem, before anything ships.

In FaStart a risky order is held with its reasons, and whether it ships is always your call.

What it watches for you

  • Every order checked

    Each order is read for risk signals the moment it's paid, day or night.

  • Held, not cancelled

    A risky order waits before packing, and nothing is cancelled or refunded without you.

  • The reasons, written out

    Each hold lists its signals: a new customer, an address far from the card's, an unusual basket.

  • Rapid retries caught

    Many tries with different cards in a few minutes are flagged before any of them ships.

  • Ask the customer

    Send a short note asking the buyer to confirm, and the order moves on when they do.

  • Roadmap

    3D Secure at checkout

    Card payments go through 3D Secure with your provider, where the bank checks the cardholder.

  • Roadmap

    Refunds through your provider

    Cancel and refund in one step, and the money goes back the way it came.

  • Roadmap

    Every decision on record

    Who held, shipped or cancelled each order, and why, stays in the order's history.

The decision stays yours.

Ally holds the order and shows you why. Nothing is cancelled or refunded until you say so.

Pruitt's, Savannah

An order for three film cameras came in at 3 am from a new customer, shipping to a different city than the card. Hold it and ask the customer to confirm?

Questions about fraud protection

What is a chargeback?
A cardholder disputes a payment with their bank, and the money is taken back from the shop. Holding risky orders before they ship means fewer of them.
What is 3D Secure?
A step at payment where the card's bank confirms the cardholder, usually with a code sent to their phone.
Which signals does it look at?
New customers, a delivery address far from the card's, unusual amounts and baskets, and many tries with different cards. No order is screened yet.
Will it cancel orders on its own?
No. A risky order is held, and cancelling it is always your call. No order is screened yet.
What does it cost?
Fraud protection comes with every plan, and plans start at $39 a month.

Ship with confidence.
