Fraud Manager

Fraud Manager is Checkout Champ's whitelabel of Kount fraud screening. If you are experiencing fraudulent traffic on your site, enabling fraud manager will screen your customers prior to their payment being attempted against the gateway - preventing any refunds or chargebacks against those fraudulent customers. Enabling Fraud Manager will allow you to immediately start screening your customers.

The Fraud Manager plugin is found by navigating to Admin → Plugins → Fraud Services.

Click on the Fraud Mananger plugin, then click the green Activate button. After you choose your risk tolerance level and enable any other options that you want to enable, click Connect.

Clicking Connect will auto-enable the Fraud Manager on all of your campaigns. This can be toggled within the campaign’s General Details

Fraud Manager has a cost of $0.10 per screening. The screening only occurs on the initial sale for the customer. You have the option to screen Recurring Purchases and Upsell Purchases with Fraud Manager, allowing full use of RDR services with Kount.

There are 4 additional options:

riskTolerance - Choose from Low, Medium, or High risk tolerance. View tolerance details here.

useTestServer - Enable this option while you are testing your funnels to prevent your test data from being captured by Kount's production enviornment

screenRepeatCustomers - This option will screen a customer returning to purchase again.

screenUpsells - This option will screen upsells

Filtering by "Error" will return any orders where Fraud Manager returned an error and was not able to perform a screening. When CheckoutChamp receives an error the CRM performs a payment authorization against the gateway and sends the order into QA to be manually reviewed. If approved the authorization will be captured. If rejected the authoriztion will be voided.

You also have the ability to pull transactions screened by Fraud Manager on our Transaction Query APIarrow-up-right by using the parameter: fraudPlugin=FRAUDMANAGER

If you are using Direct API - BE SURE to place the Device Data Collection Pixel onto your landing pages so Fraud Manager can send more data to Kount for screening. Without this Fraud Manager cannot evaluate device based rules.
