Last updated: Oct 30th, 10:39am
Fraud protection is a robust risk management toolkit for PayPal merchants who have integrated Advanced Credit and Debit Card payments.
Overview
Fraud causes many problems for digital businesses, 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
