How does Chargebee Embedded Payments protect your transactions?

Every payment that flows through Chargebee Embedded Payments is evaluated through multiple layers of fraud checks before it is authorized. These checks are designed to block suspicious activity while letting genuine customers pay without friction.

Fraud checks in place

The following fraud checks are in place to ensure suspicious activity is identified early and legitimate payments are processed smoothly, all without adding friction for your customers:

Identity and Payment Verification Ensures card and account numbers are valid and shopper details are consistent.

Consistency Checks Checks for mismatches between billing address, shopper information, issuing country, and IP address that may indicate risk.

Velocity Monitoring Flags unusual activity, such as repeated use of the same card, IP, or email address within a short time.

High-Risk Screening Blocks transactions from known fraudulent domains, risky geographies, or blocked card ranges.

Extra protection with 3D Secure (3DS)

Chargebee Payments supports 3D Secure (3DS) authentication, adding another layer of defence:

• Customers may be asked to verify their identity with their issuing bank.
• High-risk transactions are challenged, while low-risk transactions pass smoothly.
• This process helps reduce fraud-related chargebacks and liability.

What happens behind the scenes

While you focus on your business, Chargebee continuously monitors transactions to protect you from evolving fraud risks:

• Automated Risk Scoring: Each transaction is assessed in real time based on signals like geography, device, and behavior.
• Adaptive Rules Engine: Fraud rules are updated and optimized to match new patterns in fraudulent activity.
• Chargeback Support: Fraud-related disputes are tracked, and you will receive timely notifications to act within required windows.

Balancing Security and Customer Experience

Our goal is to block fraud while keeping your checkout process frictionless. This means:

• Blocking only high-risk payments.
• Reviewing suspicious transactions intelligently.
• Allowing genuine customers to pay without unnecessary hurdles.

With Chargebee Embedded Payments, you get both visibility and protection:

• Visibility through your dashboard to track and manage disputes.
• Protection through backend systems that continuously screen, score, and stop fraudulent activity.

This layered approach helps you minimize risk, reduce chargebacks, and maximize successful payments.
