DESCRIPTION

This is a module that adds functionality to Business::OnlinePayment. See Business::OnlinePayment.

The user instantiates a Business::OnlinePayment object per usual, adding in three processor directives

  • fraud_detection

    Which Fraud Detection module to use.

  • maximum_fraud_score

    FraudDetection drivers are expected to return a numeric ``risk'' factor, this parameter allows you to set the threshold to reject the transaction based on that risk. Higher numbers are ``riskier'' transactions.

  • other driver-specific parameters.

    Consult the specific Fraud Detection module you intend to use for its required parameters.

The $tx->submit() method is overridden to interpose a FraudDetection phase. A subordinate object is created using the same content as the parent OnlinePayment object, and a Fraud Detect action is run against that subordinate object. If the resulting fraud score is less than or equal to the maximum_risk parameter, the parent transaction will be allowed to proceed. Otherwise, a failure state will exist with a suitable error message.

METHODS

This module provides no new methods. It does, however override the submit method to interpose an additional Fraud Detection phase.
