Bigcommerce and Sift Science Partner to Bring Automated Fraud Detection to Midsize Merchants

Bigcommerce and Sift Science have introduced a new single-click application within the Bigcommerce backend to automatically detect potential fraud for online merchants with significant order volume. This partnership effectively positions Bigcommerce Enterprise as the safest ecommerce platform on which to run a scaling midsized business.

Sift Science’s tool looks at thousands of behavioral and identity signals before and after an order takes place to uncover hidden clues and red flags. Using this data, the app connects the dots to distinguish legitimate users from fraudsters, and assigns a Sift Score to quantify the potential risk. The score ranges from 1 to 100, with 1 being safe, and 100 being almost certainly fraudulent.
