Yes. Chargeflow Prevent stops friendly fraud by scoring every Shopify order after checkout and before fulfillment. Orders from buyers likely to file a friendly fraud dispute, such as “item not received” or “not as described” claims, are held or canceled before they ship.
Prevent detects friendly fraud with AI models trained on dispute data from 20,000+ merchants in the Chargeflow network. It links device, IP, email and payment behavior across orders. That lets it spot a known disputer even on their first order with your store.
No. Prevent runs in the background after checkout and adds no steps for customers. Your rules decide what happens to each order, so good orders ship as usual and only risky ones are held for review.
Your rules decide. Good orders ship, and orders that need review are held in Shopify with a “chargeflow-hold” tag. Clear friendly fraud or stolen card orders are canceled before shipping.
