Checking Orders And Protecting Sales

Merchants around the world can implement an additional layer of fraud protection for their web sites with our IP Geolocation solution, leveraging our powerful cGate®Locate technology.

Our IP Geolocation solution provides merchants with the ability to evaluate the risk of an eCommerce transaction based on the geography of the customer, enabling merchants to view the customer's location, identified by country, state (or province, region etc.) and city.

The data allows merchants to match the physical locations of customers placing orders with the given shipping addresses, and it can be used to automatically block customers from certain restricted countries, based on a merchant's risk profile, with screening carried out before an order is placed. 

IP Geolocation can also be used together with our Address Verification Services, on North American cardholders, to cross check address validity.

Integrated And Standalone Options

These powerful solutions are available to all merchant-types if taken as a standalone service. For those who qualify for one of our multi-currency, direct merchant accounts, this valuable option can be fully integrated for a complete end-to-end solution.
