MANAGED FRAUD REVIEW FOR E-COMMERCE

Spend Less. Review Less. Approve More.

ribbonPay screens your orders and returns a clear SHIP or CANCEL decision, so your team can fulfill faster without performing manual review in-house or paying for costly guarantee coverage on every approved order.

No setup fee. No long-term contract. Keep your current merchant account, gateway, and fraud tools during the pilot.

THE HIDDEN COST OF MANUAL FRAUD REVIEW

Fraud review costs more than chargebacks.

It also consumes staff time, slows fulfillment, creates customer friction, and causes legitimate orders to be canceled when the evidence is unclear.

Manual review consumes staff time

Suspicious orders pull operations and fulfillment employees away from their regular work. They have to gather signals, contact customers, debate the risk, and accept responsibility for the final decision.

Strict rules cancel legitimate orders

Automated tools often handle uncertainty by declining it. Unusual but legitimate customers can be lost because no one reviewed the full order picture before the order was stopped.

Guarantee coverage adds cost to every approval

Guarantee providers can reimburse eligible fraud losses, but you generally pay percentage-based coverage fees across all sales. Many growing merchants need better decisions and managed review more than they need insurance on every order.

WHAT RIBBONPAY DOES DIFFERENTLY

Most fraud tools make you own the final decision.

ribbonPay owns the review workflow and gives your team a clear operating instruction.

MERCHANT-SPECIFIC DECISIONING

Routine orders move instantly. Analysts focus on the exceptions.

Every merchant has its own customers, products, order patterns, and risk signals. ribbonPay learns what is normal for your store and uses that context to create merchant-specific rules. Those rules instantly return SHIP or CANCEL on routine orders, while only cases that need judgment move to trained ribbonPay analysts.

Detailed order review

The workspace organizes order, payment, identity, address, device, history, and risk signals so analysts can evaluate the full order picture without switching between disconnected tools.

Scanners surface what matters

Automated scanners and AI-assisted summaries organize available evidence, helping analysts work quickly and consistently without exposing internal prompts, rule weights, or thresholds.

Analysts make the final decision

Technology supports the review. Trained analysts oversee the process and make the final decision when an order requires judgment.

HOW IT WORKS

Order in. Decision out. Your team keeps shipping.

01

Your system sends the order

After checkout, ribbonPay receives the customer, order, payment-response, address, product, and other available data needed for review. The service works after checkout and before fulfillment.

02

The platform screens and organizes the evidence

Automated scanners evaluate available payment, customer, order, address, device, history, and behavioral signals and surface the information that matters.

03

Analysts review the exceptions

Merchant-specific rules can decision clear cases immediately. Orders that require judgment enter the ribbonPay analyst workflow for review.

04

ribbonPay returns SHIP or CANCEL

The final decision is sent back to your store, such as Shopify or WooCommerce. Depending on your preferred setup, ribbonPay can simply update the order with the decision, or take the next step automatically: capturing payment on approved orders and voiding payment on canceled orders.

Analyst coverage

Analysts are available from 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Weekends and holidays are included.

Manual reviews received after 5:00 PM and before 5:00 AM Pacific are decisioned by 8:00 AM Pacific the following morning.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What merchants usually ask before starting.

The service is designed for merchants that want stronger decisions and a fully managed review workflow without paying percentage-based guarantee coverage on every approved order.

No. AI-assisted summaries and automated scanners help organize and surface relevant signals, but trained analysts oversee the process and make the final decision. The service combines technology, human judgment, e-commerce fraud experience, and merchant-specific learning.

Merchant-specific rule matches can return immediately. Standard manual reviews received during analyst coverage are typically decisioned within one hour, after-hours reviews are decisioned by 8:00 AM Pacific the following morning, and complex escalations follow the published 48-hour standard.

No. Managed Fraud Review is available as a standalone service. You can keep their current shopping cart, gateway, and merchant account.

Managed Fraud Review supports Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento / Adobe Commerce, OpenCart, and custom carts through direct API. Additional integrations may be built on request.

The service uses the customer, order, billing and shipping, product, IP or device, payment-response, and other available data needed to evaluate the order. 

Most decisions do not require customer contact. When verification is needed, ribbonPay follows the customer-contact process agreed upon during onboarding.

Timing depends on your platform and access. Existing supported integrations can be configured quickly; custom integrations require a short technical review before a launch date is confirmed.
