Beagle Explained
Beagle saves merchants valuable time and money usually spent on fraud detection and prevention. Merchants will no longer need to go back
through their online sales to manually detect any possible fraudulent activity. Merchants will instantly be alerted by Beagle when a possible
fraudulent transaction is processed. Beagle will also reduce the costs associated with charge backs and refunds, with the ability to halt suspicious
transactions before they are processed. This will also result in less banking fees for merchants as the transactions can be stopped before they are
processed on their merchant account.
The ability to customize Beagle is its strength. All merchants have different needs and make different business decisions based upon what they feel
is right for their business. Beagle facilitates this by allowing merchants to not only set which rules they deem to be important, but to also set the
action associated with each rule. For example, one merchant may feel that international customers are integral to their online business and therefore
process all transactions originating from an overseas IP address, whereas another merchant would flag such a transaction as possibly fraudulent, and
block it from being processed. This allows Beagle to be completely compatible with an online merchant’s overall eCommerce strategy.
As well as having rules set to block fraudulent activity, Beagle informs merchants on a host of information that allows merchants to more accurately
determine the validity of their customer. Where the basic Beagle Lite service returns two fields of information, Beagle Standard/Platinum returns twenty two. These 22
fields provide accurate information regarding the location, identity and behaviour of the customer.
