Protect every online transaction with eCommerce fraud detection built in
eCommerce fraud is one of the biggest risks for online store owners. The good news? Authorize.net is built to fight it. Every eCommerce payment gateway account includes the Advanced Fraud Detection Suite (AFDS) at no extra cost. Here’s what you can expect with our award-winning fraud detection capabilities:
Real-time order screening
Every order through your eCommerce store is screened against real-time filters before authorization — setting velocity limits, flagging unusual order values, and blocking suspicious transactions before they become chargebacks. No security team required.
You control the rules
Unlike black-box fraud tools, AFDS lets you configure each filter individually. You can block suspicious IP addresses, set order thresholds, and choose what happens when a filter triggers: decline, hold for review, or flag and process. All managed from your Merchant Interface dashboard.
Secure customer data storage
Customer payment details are stored in Authorize.net's PCI DSS-compliant vault through Customer Information Manager. No information gets stored on your own servers, so you never have to worry about a data breach.
