Warning and caution risk alerts are designed to give you an indication of whether a transaction has an elevated risk of fraud.
If you receive a risk alert, we recommend that you carry out additional checks to help ensure that the transaction is not fraudulent before fulfilling the order or carrying out a service. If you decide not to fulfil the order, you must refund the shopper, or if you have instituted a capture delay, cancel the order.

Introducing a capture delay between authorisation and capture gives you time to make additional checks, including time to check a shopper's credentials/creditworthiness before providing the goods or services. For further details, refer to the Capturing payments section in the Payments & Orders guide. |
For help about additional checks you can make, refer to the Introduction to Fraud guide.
