Last updated: Aug 15th, 7:54am
Fraud protection is a robust risk management toolkit for PayPal merchants who have integrated advanced credit and debit card payments.
Fraud causes many problems for digital business, such as chargebacks and penalty fees. Fraud protection automatically accepts good transactions and rejects fraudulent ones, helping to reduce chargebacks and false positives.
The adaptive machine learning engine monitors card transactions on your website or mobile app to learn new fraud patterns and improve the machine learning models' performance.
Fraud protection provides insight and control through:
- Out-of-the-box filters tuned for your business
- Simulated filter impact before you activate the service
- Real-time actionable filter recommendations
- Dashboard and visualization
Important: Fraud protection is available through your PayPal business account and requires no additional onboarding or integration.
