BEAUTY & COSMETICS ECOMMERCE

A commerce protection regimen that’ll make your business glow

Strengthen your business with reliable, real‑time fraud and abuse prevention.

Merchants look to unmask fraud and
abuse while facing new challenges

Low AOV items
spike card testing

Beauty merchants are highly susceptible to card testing as fraudsters buy low-priced items like travel fragrances to avoid detection.

Rampant reseller
fraud and abuse

Resellers buy cult-favorite beauty products from retailers in bulk – sometimes using stolen credit cards – to resell on 3rd party marketplaces like Amazon.

Rising rate of online
returns and refunds

As online orders increase, the complexity of managing refund requests does too. Retailers struggle to mitigate abuse losses while also meeting consumer expectations for streamlined refunds.

Subscriptions susceptible
to chargebacks

Subscription boxes are booming in beauty – but they come with a higher risk of consumer disputes due to forgotten subscription signups, confusion about recurring payments and buyer’s remorse.

By analyzing data from thousands of global merchants, Signifyd can detect and prevent fraudulent activity while ensuring a seamless experience for genuine customers.

Signifyd for commerce protection

“Since we became Signifyd customers, our business has expanded into the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark. With Signifyd, there was not even a learning period in these regions. Typically, you would expect to see a dip in approval rates, but we were able to hit the ground running. We maintained an above 98% approval rate from day one in all three.”
