It's true that fraud can happen at any stage during the life of a transaction. However, most attention tends to be focused on third-party fraud, rather than the even more pressing threat of post-transaction fraud.
“When it comes to fraud, there are two divisions: pre-sale and post-sale,” Monica says. “Pre-sale fraud prevention is best managed with fraud filters and strict policies, whereas post-sale or post transaction fraud (chargebacks) requires a more tactical strategy to decision each chargeback.”
The good news is that there are still things that can be done to alleviate post-transaction fraud. As Monica explains, “Optimum results are achieved when a retailer employs a competent solution for both.”
