Beacon was built upon several years of research and development to help merchants detect and prevent fraudulent orders and bad actors using three-level of technology, using big data, active verification (SMS and email), and machine learning. These technologies combine to help merchants prevent bad-actors, reduce chargebacks, and help eliminate false positives (accidental cancellation of good orders).

How does your app work with Shopify?

Beacon is constantly monitoring and analyzing bad data that looks suspicious for things like VoIP, multiple accounts, or an unusually high amount of spending.

The system works by ingesting customer information like name, phone number, and other data points and extracts new data that can highlight a risky order. Any bad data detected is displayed through our main data table. The longer a merchant has Beacon installed, the more effective the system can be.

If an additional fraud check is needed, Beacon can send a special and simple text verification message to customers for additional verification. Our SMS system is able to extract additional data to better and quickly identify bad-actors.

How will this change the look of my store?

A special verification page is generated when Beacon is installed. This verification page can be found under the template menu with the file name of, "pages.verify.liquid".

How do I get started?

Merchants will be prompt with a simple welcome screen to help understand the app based on merchant business needs.
