Configuring Fraud Screening

In your daily work you deal with customers that can be from different cities and countries thousands of miles away. External payment gateways ensure certain level of security, however it is often required to ensure not only the credit card validity, but other data provided by customer, such as telephone number (whether it is in a black list or not), country, country and phone number correspondence and so on. For these purposes there is special mechanism implemented in OA Billing called the fraud screening system.

OA Billing fraud screening system represents several auxiliary modules called fraud screening plug-ins. Each plug-in serves for particular task. For example, the "Black List of Email Addresses" plug-in checks whether cardholder email is in the black list of non trusted email addresses or not. The set of plug-ins is mounted rigidly, some of them require configuration and others do not. Immediate check of any order appearing in the system is based on special fraud screening filters. These filters may be considered as anti-fraud checking rules and represent a fraud screening plug-in or a number of them combined into a logical chain for their usage.

Note: for clean OA Billing installation, a set of pre-configured and active anti-fraud plug-ins is provided. For these plug-ins a set of default fraud screening rules is configured and the default rules are composed into default fraud screening filters. You can use the default configuration of fraud screening or adjust if needed.
