validate_acct_fraud_scoring_m

Obtains a fraud score and/or a fraud filter response from a payment gateway based on your criteria specified in your payment gateway. Example: when an account holder tries to make a purchase, you can take your chosen action on the account if:

  • the transaction is above your specified fraud score; or   
  • the transaction is determined to be a fraud risk based on your fraud filtering criteria. 

To use this API, you must have fraud functionality enabled and configured in your payment gateway. Contact your payment gateway representative for setup information and additional documentation.

Notes:

  • Inputs passed to this API call will override any fraud options that you specified in your payment gateway, collection group, or Direct Post settings, unless stated otherwise below. 
  • You cannot obtain the fraud score for credit or debit cards enrolled in 3D Secure.

For information about error messages generated by this API, see validate_acct_fraud_scoring_m_error messages.
