Restrictions#

The anti-fraud analysis functionality can be used on the following Carat Portal interfaces:

REST PaymentX
HTML PaymentX(*)
REST Pre-AuthorizationX
HTML Pre-AuthorizationX(*)
Payment link - PortalX

Attention: For PRE-AUTHORIZATION transactions with risk analysis (anti-fraud) and not-SiTef routings, attention should be paid to the scenarios in which the risk analysis is carried out AFTER pre-authorization. In these scenarios, the pre-authorization transaction is confirmed regardless of the result of the risk analysis, and it is up to the merchant to decide - in light of the anti-fraud assessment - whether to effect its capture or not. The same is true for cases in which the risk analysis of the transaction is referred to a manual review by the anti-fraud institution.
