Antifraud integration

We connect and configure an antifraud service — a third-party solution for detecting fraudulent actions: fake orders, stolen cards, abuse, bot registrations. To automatically flag and reject suspicious operations before they do harm. Honestly upfront: antifraud REDUCES the share of fraud, but does NOT eliminate it fully; this is integration of a PAID third-party service (subscription/fee paid separately), and any setup balances between missed fraud and blocking honest customers.

Price
$5,000
Duration
usually 1–3 weeks (depends on the service and number of points)

Antifraud integration — overview

Antifraud integration — price, timeline & scope

Antifraud integration is the connection of a third-party antifraud solution to your vulnerable points: checkout and payment (stolen cards, chargeback fraud), registration (bots, fakes), promo/bonuses (abuse and multi-accounts). We set up rules and risk thresholds, the reaction (pass/manual review/reject), sending signals to the service and processing its verdicts. Honestly about the cost, this matters: antifraud is a PAID third-party service. Our work is integration and configuration, while its subscription/per-check fee is paid SEPARATELY and on an ongoing basis. This must be budgeted for. Honestly about the effect: antifraud reduces the share of fraud, but does NOT guarantee its absence: fraudsters adapt, new schemes appear, and some fraud will still get through. Honestly about the balance, this is key: any antifraud balances between two errors — missing a fraudster (false negative) and blocking an honest customer (false positive). Too strict — you lose real sales; too soft — you let fraud through. The setup seeks a balance for your business, and it needs periodic adjustment. Honestly about dependence: quality strongly depends on the chosen service and the data available to it. Honestly about law: this is fraud reduction, NOT a guarantee of no chargebacks and not legal protection. Honestly about access: access to the checkout/payment/registration code is needed. An important boundary: this is antifraud (fraudulent actions), while protection against injections/brute-forcing is separate (753/761). Picture this: instead of 'fake and stolen orders go through as normal' — suspicious operations are flagged and rejected automatically. The base integration price starts from 25,000 ₽ (excluding the service subscription cost); it depends on the service and the number of points.

Problems we solve

  • Fake and stolen orders go through as normal.
  • Bots mass-register and abuse promos/bonuses.
  • No automatic risk assessment of an operation.
  • Multi-accounts and abuse go unnoticed.

FAQ

  • Will antifraud completely stop fraudsters?

    No, that cannot be promised. It substantially reduces the share of fraud and cuts off typical schemes, but fraudsters adapt and some will still get through. This is reduction of risk and losses, not a guarantee of zero. Still, operations become noticeably safer.

  • Won't you block honest customers?

    Any antifraud balances between two errors: missing a fraudster and blocking an honest one. Too strict — you lose sales, too soft — you let fraud through. We tune the balance for your business and adjust periodically, plus use 'manual review' instead of a hard rejection in borderline cases.

  • Is the service cost included in the price?

    No. Our price is for integration and configuration. The antifraud itself is a paid third-party service, its subscription/per-check fee is paid separately and on an ongoing basis. Honestly budget for this — we will help choose a service for your volumes and money.
