Risk teams managing payment and account abuse with ongoing analyst ownership and application event integration.
How the product works
Sift’s payment and account products address different points in a customer journey. Event data and client observations support risk assessment; the platform provides workflows for decisions and investigations. Account Defense includes session context, while Payment Protection focuses on transaction-related abuse.
From evidence to a decision
Start by identifying which product will own the decision at login, checkout or later account activity. An event history is most useful when payment outcomes and investigation labels return to the same system. Keep the timing of a payment decision explicit, including whether an authorization has already occurred.
What to confirm before buying
Product scope and commercial access need a proposal. A vendor case study does not establish your future approval rate or chargeback reduction. Ask which modules, data flows and investigation tools are included in the quoted configuration.
A useful first pilot
Send a consistent event sequence for registration, login and purchase. Trace a score into an operational action and then back from a confirmed outcome. Test the handling of missing events and distinguish an account-level assessment from one specific transaction.

FAQ
Is a Sift score a chargeback guarantee?
A score estimates risk. Any reimbursement or contractual liability arrangement must be established separately in the purchased agreement.
Which product should a trial cover?
Choose the login, payment or investigation outcome first, then confirm the relevant product scope with Sift.
