Identify and eliminate financial fraud risks with Accertify.

Overview

Accertify is a fraud detection service that uses a fraud scoring engine to screen transactions in milliseconds and identify any potential fraud. You can use this service to obtain fraud data and do a fraud check without triggering a sale transaction. Based on the results, you can decide whether to create a sales charge or not, and when to create it.

  1. Obtain the following credentials from your Accertify account:
  • Accertify Merchant ID
  • Username
  • Password
  • 2nd Accertify Merchant ID (to send the transaction result data)
  1. Ensure that you have your Paydock access token. To generate the token, check the following guide().
