Payments with fraud analysis
Cielo E-commerce API provides a fraud risk analysis service for online transactions. Cielo integrates with risk analysis companies such as CyberSource and ClearSale, which validate transactional data and cardholder purchase history. This analysis returns risk factors, allowing the store to decide whether to proceed with the sale.
The fraud analysis offered by Cielo assesses transaction risk but does not link the analysis result to chargeback coverage. Cielo does not provide guaranteed transactions.
Fraud analysis is available only for credit card transactions.
