How can the Intelligent Returns Suite help prevent return fraud and abuse

Understanding the scale of your returns

Returns Insights: 

By connecting data from your users accounts, checkout, chargebacks and return details, you can use returns insights to:

  • Show the scale of and reasons behind your high return rates
  • Classify returns into categories such as fraud, abuse, wardrobing, bracketing and other returns related issues
  • Using Signifyd’s machine learning to detect patterns and display anomalies through tracking return rates, repurchase rate, contact rate and more
  • Measure true customer profitability and create policies that will statistically reduce your fraudulent return rate

Analysing risk of return fraud and abuse

Instant Refunds:

With a simple integration, Instant Refunds is able to 

  • Provide each return with a risk threshold to be used as a recommendation. Or as an additional service, Signifyd can assume liability if the return is fraudulent despite a low risk score
  • Reduce contact rate and reward your trusted customers with an exceptional returns experience while holding riskier consumers to account

Signifyd continuously updates its risk models using aggregated account, checkout, chargeback and return data across its merchant network, enhancing fraud detection accuracy.

Why choose Signifyd’s Intelligent Return Suite

Under EU & UK law, consumers are entitled to cancel and return items for a full refund within 14 days without justification, or within six months when returning "faulty" items. Though these regulations are meant to protect consumers' rights, they have also given rise to sophisticated — even professional — return and refund abuse. This has caused retailers to see a:

35% increase in false claims that an item was not received

68% increase in false claims of the product's conditions

Higher return rate in Europe (14%), compared to the global average (7%)

Signifyd’s Intelligent Returns Suite can deliver for merchants:
