Fraud Errors

Fraud rules errors

When a transaction triggers fraud rules, BlueSnap returns one of the following errors:

If a transaction triggers multiple fraud rules, then multiple fraud events (one for each triggered fraud rule or threshold) may be sent within the fraudEvents object for that transaction. Refer to the Multiple fraud events example below.

For a complete description of the fraudEvents object, refer to fraudEvents.

Merchants who enroll in the Kount Custom fraud prevention service receive additional fraud details if an order triggers one of the rules they have configured. For information about fraud prevention service levels supported by BlueSnap, refer to Fraud prevention.

Note regarding multiple fraud events

In the multiple fraud events example above, the second fraud event was the triggering of the shipping country blacklist (the value of the fraudEventCode is blacklistshippingcountrydecline). This fraudEventExpression property says that this rule was triggered because AD is in list. That means that the shopper entered Andorra (country code AD) as the shipping country, and that Andorra is on the blacklist.
