Unfortunately, when credit cards are accepted as payment there's a risk of chargebacks due to claims of fraud or non-delivery of products.
Credit card fraudsters generally dislike being caught in-person. You can deter fraudsters by informing them upon ordering that a valid ID will be required at the time of pickup or delivery. Thereafter, we would recommend enforcing this requirement for amounts greater than $25 or some other threshold that balances order volume vs a large payment amount. eg. you may find that 80% of your orders are under $25 and that asking for ID for amounts above $25 reduces the potential for loss without a significant impact on your operations.
Merchants who ship high-value goods often use fraud risk scoring tools to determine when to utilize extra authentication. While these measures can be effective, it comes with a per-transaction cost of $0.10. For an average order amount of less than $50, it is typically not cost-effective. In a situation where products are delivered in-person and the fraudster can be caught in-person, the need for these types of anti-fraud controls is even lower.
In April of 2021, Clover released an update in which you can choose the Fraud prevention tools for your business, this allows you to automatically void suspicious non-device payments taken on the eCommerce API. They don’t block payments taken from your device.
