Basic Fraud Tools

Overviewanchor

Braintree's Basic Fraud Tools are a set of customizable rules that allow you to protect your account against carding attacks or other fraudulent activity. They are available at no extra cost to all merchants, regardless of size or processing volume, and do not require any developer work to set up.

Basic Fraud Tools can be utilized by setting up the AVS, CVV, and/or creating risk threshold rules. From there, you can adjust your settings any time and even override fraud rejections for certain transactions all within the Control Panel.

note

AVS and CVV rules only apply to credit card transactions. Risk threshold rules apply to both credit cards and certain Google Pay transactions.
