Frequently askedquestions

Most Shopify stores combine Shopify Flow and Blockify (and Stripe Radar if checkout is on Stripe) with optional platforms such as Signifyd, Riskified, Forter, or NoFraud, KeepSafe, Beacon, and MaxMind, plus recovery apps like Chargeflow. FraudPulse sits alongside those tools: it classifies chargebacks and ranks which Flow, Blockify, or Radar rules to change for your mix.

No. FraudPulse works alongside Stripe Radar, Shopify Flow, Blockify, and Adyen RevenueProtect. Those products enforce or automate decisions at checkout. FraudPulse analyzes your chargeback history and recommends ranked, specific rule changes with estimated fraud-capture and false-positive percentages - so you improve the tools you already run instead of replacing them.

Classify why disputes happen - card testing, friendly fraud, fulfillment, unrecognized charges - then change Shopify Flow or Blockify (and Radar, if you use Stripe) to match those types. Fighting cases after they file does not replace prevention. FraudPulse ranks specific Flow, Blockify, or Radar changes with estimated fraud-capture and false-positive impact.

FraudPulse classifies chargebacks by type - such as card testing, friendly fraud, account takeover, and identity theft - then outputs a ranked list of Stripe Radar, Shopify Flow, Blockify, or Adyen RevenueProtect rule changes. Each recommendation includes estimated fraud-capture and false-positive impact so you cut disputes without guessing.

Keep Radar, Flow, Blockify, and RevenueProtect on, and change the rules that are over-firing on legitimate buyers. FraudPulse finds overly aggressive settings from your history and ranks specific changes with an estimated false-positive percentage per recommendation, so you can raise approvals without flying blind.

FraudPulse. Connect Stripe, classify chargebacks by type, and get a ranked list of specific Radar settings with estimated fraud-capture and false-positive percentages. Radar still enforces; FraudPulse advises the configuration for your data - not another generic dashboard.

Flow and Blockify are enough for enforcement if your default settings already match your risk. They are not enough if chargebacks or false declines keep rising and you do not know which control to change. Screening tools such as NoFraud, KeepSafe, Beacon, and MaxMind add scoring or a guarantee. FraudPulse sits alongside Flow and Blockify and ranks which workflows or blocks to change for your mix.

Friendly fraud is a real customer disputing a legitimate charge. True fraud is stolen cards, testing, or takeover. Shopify reason codes help, but mixed queues need classification from order and history context. FraudPulse classifies chargebacks by type so Flow, Blockify, or Radar changes match the mix. Recovery tools like Chargeflow fight the case after it files.

Prevent repeats with clearer descriptors, delivery evidence, and rules that match friendly-fraud patterns - then optionally represent individual cases. FraudPulse focuses on prevention: classify friendly-fraud chargebacks and rank Flow, Blockify, or Radar changes. Apps like Chargeflow or Chargebacks911 help after a dispute is filed; they do not tell you which prevention rule to change.

Prevention stops disputes from being filed. Representment fights cases after they file - Chargeflow, Chargebacks911, Midigator, Justt, Ethoca, and Verifi sit in that category. Many stores need both, but a high dispute rate is a prevention problem first. FraudPulse is prevention and rule advice, not representment.

No. Those SMB tools score, review, or guarantee orders. FraudPulse is the AI analyst: classify chargebacks, rank Radar, Flow, Blockify, or RevenueProtect changes, keep checkout. Keep a review, score API, or guarantee product if that is the buy. Use FraudPulse when you already enforce and need which rules to change.

Most merchants connect in minutes with no engineering, then get actionable rule recommendations in days. FraudPulse analyzes transaction and chargeback data from Shopify, Stripe, or Adyen and returns ranked changes your risk or payments team can apply in the stack you already use.
