Order Verification

Stay proactive with orders that could be fraudulent or need special care. With order verification workflows, you can send messages to customers or staff when specific order criteria are met.

Why you should use it

Not every order placed in your store is valid. Use order verifications to ensure protection against fraud and customer mistakes

A personal watchdog for your store

Not every order placed in your store is valid. Fraud is something every retailer must watch out for. Undoubtedly, bad actors will make these transactions on your site, costing your business time, money, and effort. Also, shoppers can make simple mistakes. Customers may accidentally order too many products, select the wrong item, or change their minds after the fact. When building long-term customer relationships, it’s essential to address these issues in the least disruptive way.

Also, several trackable factors can indicate that an order is suspicious and needs to be verified. Shoppers could place an order for an unusual quantity, or there may be a mismatch in the customer’s shipping and billing addresses. Other examples include when a customer makes repeat transactions at a higher frequency than average or a cart total that seems higher than usual. In any case, it could be fraud or a mistake by the customer, and you’ll want to check in with the customer before shipping any products. By utilizing our new order verification messaging workflows, you can maintain a peace of mind that we’ve got your back.
