Using CyberSource Decision Manager for Fraud Management

CyberSource provides a configurable advanced fraud management solution called Decision Manager, which integrates into the NetSuite order management workflow. When setting up your CyberSource credit card gateway profile in NetSuite, you can specify if you want the gateway to work with the Decision Manager features and services you subscribe to in your CyberSource account. You can use Decision Manager for internal (MOTO) orders, Web store orders, or both. You then use Decision Manager to screen, review, and resolve orders with potentially fraudulent payment information, along with Decision Manager analytics for advanced reporting.

Accounts that use third party Web stores and connect to NetSuite using SOAP web services can also use CyberSource Decision Manager to manage credit card fraud. For more information, see Set Up Decision Manager for SOAP Web Services Orders.

Use CyberSource Decision Manager to set up the level of fraud management you want for your business. Managing potential credit card fraud efficiently reduces lost revenue, improves order fulfillment timing, and reduces the staff time required to screen orders.

Device Fingerprinting

Enable Device Fingerprinting along with CyberSource Decision Manager to capture a digital fingerprint of the device used to place a order in your Web store. Device fingerprinting, in conjunction with order and payment information, helps determine if the computer placing the order is considered trustworthy. This evaluation lets you distinguish between valuable customers and online fraudsters to minimize chargebacks and losses due to payment fraud.

Gathering a device fingerprint does not capture any personal information from the shopper. When a shopper submits an order, the credit card authorization request sent to CyberSource includes device characteristics which are analyzed in real-time for risky device behavior. Decision Manager uses rules you define along with other analytics to decide whether to authorize the order payment and returns an Accept/Reject/Review decision for the sales order to NetSuite.

The following illustrates the benefit of using Device Fingerprinting.

Identifying High Fraud Risk Items

If you use the Send Purchase Card Data feature, you can identify NetSuite inventory items that are at the highest risk of fraudulent transactions. For more information on this feature, see Using the Purchase Card Data Module.

To set the fraud risk for an item, you first customize the item record form to include the Fraud Risk field.

To add the Fraud Risk field to the item record:

  1. Open a new item record.

  2. In the upper right corner of the form, click Customize, and select Customize Form.

  3. Click the Fields subtab.

  4. Click the Sales/Pricing subtab.

  5. Check the box in the Show column next to Fraud Risk.

  6. Save the form.

Then, update your inventory item records and set the fraud risk. To do this, edit the item record. In the Fraud Risk field, select the level of risk for this item.

When you configure the CyberSource Decision Manager, you can consider fraud risk in determining whether a transaction is fraudulent.

If you use a CyberSource processing profile with Decision Manager enabled, line-level item data is populated in the request NetSuite sends to the gateway. For more information, see Populating Level III Item Data with CyberSouce Decision Manager.
