HOW IT WORKS
How ecommerce fraud is prevented with Kount
What process does Kount use to detect and prevent fraud for online merchants?
An ecommerce transaction is initiated.
A customer visits your online store, adds one or more items to their cart, and attempts to make a purchase.
Data is collected.
Kount collects information like the customer’s email address, billing address, shipping address, IP address, device ID, and more.
Risk is calculated.
The customer data is analysed by Kount’s machine learning. The technology analyses both the shopper’s past actions and current attributes, looking for red flags to help determine the transaction’s level of risk.
Policies are applied.
The technology consults the policies you’ve set to determine how the transaction should be handled.
A decision is made.
Kount will make a decision based on the level of risk, available data, and your pre-set policies. If you’d like the chance to personally check suspicious orders, the transaction may be flagged for review. Otherwise, it will either be approved or declined.
Your ecommerce business grows confidently and efficiently.
Accurately blocking fraudulent transactions means you can reduce risk without damaging relationships with your good customers. And because efficient automation replaces the need to manually review every transaction, you can grow your business with unparalleled efficiency.

FAQs
What are the biggest fraud threats for ecommerce merchants?
Fraud tactics are always evolving. But these are a few of the biggest threats that seem to be ongoing issues for most ecommerce businesses.
Unauthorised transactions
Fraudsters will use stolen credit card or account information to make unauthorised transactions. These purchases are usually for personal gain or resale potential. And most of the time, a fraudulent charge is followed by a chargeback.
Card testing fraud
Card testing is a specific type of unauthorised transaction. These purchases — which test the validity of stolen payment information — are usually for small amounts. But the damage can quickly add up.
Account opening fraud
Opportunistic customers will open fake accounts to commit loyalty or discount fraud. They’ll take advantage of promotions designed to attract new, legitimate customers.
Account takeover
Online accounts usually contain tons of valuable assets like payment information and loyalty points. Fraudsters will attempt to hack into accounts to steal from the account holder.
Refund fraud
There are several ways that opportunistic customers may try to exploit your refund policy. For example, they might try to get refunds without returning the merchandise. Or they may return counterfeit or used goods.
FAQs
What kind of guarantees does Kount offer?
If you are in the market for a trust and safety solution — especially one that includes chargeback software — you are probably wondering what kind of performance guarantees are available.
Some service providers offer a chargeback guarantee or chargeback insurance. And those guarantees typically involve undisclosed limitations and exceptions — which can cause inaccurate expectations and disappointment.
But at Kount, we value transparency. We are always open and honest with our clients.
Our guarantee is this: Kount will relentlessly pursue excellence on your behalf. We will work tirelessly to ensure you achieve the very best results with the least amount of effort, the lowest costs, and the highest ROI.
Schedule a call with our team to learn more about our guarantees. And find out what it’s like to have a dispute management system with the very best chargeback prevention results possible — not expensive, “good enough” outcomes cloaked by false promises.
