    Overview

    Payment Guarantee is a fraud prevention solution for card-not-present transactions that guarantees your revenue against losses from fraud, enabling you to accept more orders and reduce operational costs. The solution evaluates each transaction for fraud risk in real-time and notifies merchants when it is safe to approve. Each safe transaction is backed by a guarantee so, if you later receive a fraud chargeback, Vesta pays you for the cost of the chargeback and associated fees.
     
    Payment Guarantee leverages machine learning technology and Vesta’s 20+ years of fraud-fighting expertise to guarantee more transactions, enabling merchants to increase their transaction approval rate. As a fully managed service, Payment Guarantee handles all day-to-day detection logic updates so fraud operations can be simplified. With Payment Guarantee, revenue is safeguarded from fraud which enables merchants to focus on growing their business. 

    Key Benefits

    Eliminate fraud liability

    When you approve orders that Vesta guarantees, you get to do business in a world without eCommerce fraud – because Vesta covers all fraud chargeback costs. This leaves you with more time and energy to focus on your core competencies rather than worrying about which orders you should approve.

    Approve more orders

    With Payment Guarantee, you enjoy higher approval rates because Vesta’s team of data scientists use their decades of experience fighting eCommerce fraud combined with highly precise machine learning models to guarantee more orders.

    Simplify ops; Save money

    Payment Guarantee is a fully managed service that handles all day-to-day detection logic updates on your behalf so you can extract yourself from the never-ending cat-and-mouse game with fraudsters, simplifying your fraud operations and reducing costs.

    Frictionless experience

    Payment Guarantee performs fraud risk assessments in real-time behind-the-scenes, so you do not have to introduce additional verification steps in your customer’s journey or ask customers to provide excessive information solely to help you make fraud decisions. Instead, you can optimize your customer journey and checkout experience for conversion.

    Pay only for guaranteed orders  

    Payment Guarantee’s pricing is designed to align incentives between you and Vesta. You are only charged when Payment Guarantee guarantees a transaction and you do not incur any cost when Payment Guarantee determines an order is fraudulent. This way, Vesta only makes money when you get guaranteed revenue and Vesta is incentivized to continuously improve detection to increase approval rates.
