Premium Fraud Management Tools
Overview
While it is a best practice to configure Basic Fraud Tools to protect your account from some of the more standard forms of payment fraud, more complex fraud schemes require more advanced capabilities. Braintree's Premium Fraud Management Tools provide a suite of fraud prevention and detection checks before a request is processed, which helps catch fraudulent activity before authorization requests ever reach your customers' banks.
The need for additional data to provide adequate coverage for Risk and Fraud management is important. This can be accomplished by ensuring the below fields are part of all transactions being passed to Braintree for processing. They are easily added during configuration of the API/SDK’s and must be done at this time.
