Mitigate Fraud by Verifying Credit Card Account Access

Enhance security by sending a small deposit ranging from $0.01 to $1.99 to the account of a customer who has been flagged as suspicious.

Initiate the micro-transaction

  3. Trigger the micro-deposit by clicking Yes, Continue

  4.  Once the micro-transaction is initiated, the customer will receive an SMS prompting them to reply with the charged amount. (This can be seen in your Order Notifications). Alternatively, you can reach out to the customer directly to confirm the micro-transaction amount reflected in their bank account

  5. If the customer replies with the correct amount, they will receive a confirmation text indicating successful verification. For manual entry, input the amount in the field labeled Enter the last two digits of the deposited amount and click Verify

    If the wrong number is entered you will be prompted with an error message or the customer would be notified via SMS of the incorrect attempt that was made. 

Note: American Express customers may occasionally see a deposit greater than $1. If a customer reports an amount exceeding $1, you should enter only the last two digits of that amount for verification. 

Merchants are responsible for all losses incurred due to chargebacks. This feature is aimed to mitigate fraud and provide evidence to dispute chargeback claims, but does not guarantee that disputes and losses will not occur.
