Features:

Risk-scoring

Our unique scoring algorithm tracks and analyzes over 170 user attributes and combines them into a single, actionable score, which allows you to easily assess fraud risk at a glance and automate your review process.

Real-time data

Rather than waiting until checkout to determine a risk score, our scoring engine continuously updates its analysis as each user interacts with your site. Evaluate all users, not just customers who make a purchase.

Behavioral analytics

Go beyond static data points to analyze behavior and pre-session data, which includes how users arrive at your site and their behavior once they get there. Our algorithm continuously adapts to new behavior patterns so you can better assess fraud risk.

Identity verification

Utilize SMS, email, and other verification steps as well as third-party integrations to verify suspicious orders. The level of impact on the user can be customized and is adjustable based on the score each user is given.

Automation

With over 70 criteria to choose from, you can automate order processing workflows using customizable rulesets. The combinations are nearly endless and allow you to create personalized defenses that are as dynamic as they are unique.

Ad campaign optimization

Use advanced analytics to identify bad traffic generated by fraud and detect its source. Determine which advertising campaigns are bringing in high-quality traffic and adjust any campaigns that are not attracting real prospects.

Live performance monitoring

Know when and where customers are experiencing site issues by monitoring responses from servers around the globe. Set custom alerts to keep your team informed of problems and prevent the loss of customers due to unexpected downtime.

Extensions

With optional, per-use add-ons, you can take advantage of supplemental data and scoring provided by our industry-leading data partners. Extensions are available exclusively to customers using the full edition of our platform.

No coding or site changes required.

We handle the integration via the Shopify API. Once you install, just turn the features on, and your shop is protected immediately.
