Fraud Alert 

A transaction is marked as fraudulent if the amount or charge is not authorized by the card owner.
Chargebee's fraud detection system flags a customer as Suspicious if one or more of their transactions are made from a suspicious IP address.

Note
  • Currently, this feature is available only for merchants using Stripe as their gateway. Learn how Stripe detects fraud 
  • Additionally, if the same fraudulent IP address is part of any other gateway transaction, Chargebee will be able to identify the fraudulent Customer.

How Chargebee collects IP addresses 

Hosted Pages If you have integrated with Chargebee using the hosted pages, the IP Address of the customer will be collected automatically.

API User If you use the Chargebee API, you will have to pass the IP Address of the customer to Chargebee using the User Details Header API .

How Chargebee identifies a customer as suspicious 

Chargebee monitors all transactions and makes note of the IP addresses that were used to make fraudulent transactions. Fraudulent transactions are identified based on the information returned by Stripe. Such IP addresses are added to Chargebee's list of suspicious IP addresses.
