Key Tips to Protect Your Business:

• Enable AVS and CVV : Use Address Verification and Card Verification tools to reduce unauthorized transactions.

• Activate 2FA for Logins : Protect accounts by enabling two-factor authentication.

• Monitor for Bot Activity : Use CAPTCHA to detect suspicious traffic and prevent automated fraud attempts.
