RISK & DISPUTES / AIPOWER PAY

Less exposure.
A clearer response.

Reduce exposure to fraud, chargebacks and payment losses with a risk approach spanning before, during and after payment. Connect dynamic 3DS, Ethoca alerts and RDR with dedicated account-manager follow-up.

02 / REAL-TIME RISK ASSESSMENT

Understand the signals.
Put each payment in context.

Define the signals needed to assess an incoming payment. Your account manager confirms which data sources and real-time checks are available for your integration before activation.

01

Device & IP context

Review device consistency, IP location and unusual network patterns as assessment requirements.

02

Address & card context

Identify useful billing, delivery and permitted card-reference checks without exposing sensitive payment data.

03

Behavior & payment history

Consider unusual purchase patterns, repeat attempts and relevant historical outcomes when defining the risk approach.

03 / RISK RULES

Define the conditions.
Agree the response.

Discuss rule requirements with your account manager. Available controls, configuration ownership and merchant self-service access must be confirmed for your setup.

Amount & frequency

Define transaction-value limits and repeated-attempt patterns that warrant closer review.

Country & BIN

Identify market and card-issuer contexts relevant to your approved business profile.

Proxy networks & blocklists

Discuss network-risk indicators and the ownership, review and expiry of blocklist entries.

Device relationships

Assess whether linked-device patterns are relevant and which supporting signals are available.

04 / DYNAMIC 3DS

Match authentication
to the payment context.

AIPower supports dynamic 3DS strategies. Align authentication requests with transaction risk, applicable requirements and the capabilities of the payment connection.

01

Exemption requests

Where permitted and supported, request an applicable exemption. An exemption is not guaranteed, and the issuer may still require authentication.

02

Frictionless authentication

Share relevant transaction context so the issuer can assess the payment without an additional customer challenge when appropriate.

03

Challenge authentication

Support an issuer-requested verification step when additional authentication is needed. Keep the customer journey clear and the outcome connected to the order.

05 / CONNECTED DISPUTE PREVENTION

Ethoca and RDR.
Act earlier, with context.

AIPower has integrated Ethoca and RDR. Your account manager helps confirm enrollment, coverage and the response policy for your merchant setup.

ETHOCA / ALERTS

Receive an earlier warning.

Ethoca shares fraud and dispute alerts from participating issuers. Match the alert to the order, verify fulfillment and refund status, and take the appropriate action within the applicable response window.

How Ethoca alerts work ↗
RDR / RESOLUTION

Resolve eligible pre-disputes.

Rapid Dispute Resolution uses agreed rules to automatically resolve eligible Visa pre-disputes with a credit to the cardholder. Confirm enrollment, rule criteria and financial treatment before activation.

PEOPLE / FOLLOW-UP

Keep ownership clear.

A dedicated account manager follows up on risk matters. Agree who verifies orders, approves any manual refund, records the outcome and escalates unresolved cases.

A clear response workflow

  1. Match the case. Connect the alert or pre-dispute to the payment and merchant order.
  2. Check prior actions. Review fulfillment, existing refunds and resolution status to avoid duplicate action.
  3. Apply the agreed response. Follow the relevant alert process or RDR rules; record the result.
  4. Escalate and review. Involve your account manager when further action or an evidence response is needed.
06 / DISPUTE EVIDENCE

Prepare the right records.
Tell the transaction story.

Organize evidence around the dispute reason and submission requirements. Confirm the submission channel and any dashboard upload or case-management features with your account manager.

01

Order & policy records

Retain the order reference, item description, purchase terms, refund policy and any relevant evidence of customer acceptance.

02

Fulfillment & delivery

Prepare shipping, tracking and signed-delivery records for goods, or appropriate service-delivery and access records for digital products.

03

Customer communications

Keep relevant support conversations, cancellation requests and resolution history in chronological order.

04

Payment & device references

Link permitted transaction, authentication, refund and device records to the case, using only relevant data and approved secure channels.

07 / RISK MONITORING

Review the indicators.
Understand the underlying trend.

Use these measures to structure operational reviews with your account manager. Confirm which indicators are available in your dashboard, their refresh timing and export options.
