Checkfront and reCAPTCHA v3

Back to top

Checkfront's integration with reCAPTCHA v3 helps protect your business against...

  • Credit card testing fraud. Fraudsters test stolen credit cards with small amounts to verify the card, then use verified cards to make purchases.
  • Fraudulent transactions. Fraudsters purchase services, goods, or gift cards with stolen credit cards.
  • Denial of service attacks. Websites are targeted with mass, automated transaction attempts with the end goal of overwhelming the system or denying others access to the service.

Our integration supports reCAPTCHA v3, which allows you to verify that interactions are legitimate without any Customer interaction or disruption. Activity is scored, so you are informed and can act accordingly behind the scenes.

  • Block suspicious activity and prevent associated payment attempts on the payment page.
  • View scores and suspicious activity from your Google reCAPTCHA Admin console.
  • Have alerts sent automatically to registered Google reCAPTCHA site Owners to bring your attention to problems such as increased suspicious traffic.
