Control modes

For all risk assessment processes, the merchant can choose between three modes:

No control (default value)
Verification disabled.
No checks are carried out in this case.
Informative control
Verification completed after authorization request. Informative control identifies questionable transactions without refusing them.

To be notified by e-mail, create a specific rule (see Creating notification rules specific to risk assessment chapter).
Blocking control
Verification completed before authorization request. Blocking control leads to the refusal of questionable transactions.

When setting up module Risk assessment, it is essential to change the default control mode (No control) via the Settings tab.

Otherwise, no check will be carried out.

The merchant has the possibility to refine the control according to the type, origin and use of cards:

Card control
Identification of cards with unconditional authorization, e-carte bleue cards andcommercial cards (cards issued by companies), card number control, BIN code control.
Contextual control
Control of the buyer’s IP address, of the payment method’s issuing country, of the IP address country, consistency check.
