Risk and Fraud Prevention: Mark as Spam and Spam Reporting Status
Here at Givecloud, we work hard for you to ensure you have the built-in features you can use to manage payment risk and prevent fraud. In our latest release, we have created a Mark as Spam feature to help you review and manage fraudulent payments directly in your Givecloud admin.
Mark and filter fraudulent payments and supporter profiles using the Mark as Spam status option. Mark a single or bulk mark multiple records to refund and categorize the fraudulent payments or supporter profiles. This will separate the fraudulent records from your actual Givecloud Database but will still allow you to review these records by selecting Status > Spam/ Fraud on your All Contributions and All Supporter Reports.
When you mark a contribution as Spam & Refund, Givecloud will,
-
Marks both the contribution and the supporter associated with the contributions as Spam/Fraud.
-
Givecloud will try to issue a refund. It's important to note that in some instances, the payment may have already been refunded directly in the payment gateway. Issuing a full refund of the fraudulent contributions will prevent costly chargebacks.
-
If you use SafeSave, PaySafe, NMI or Stripe as a payment gateway, Givecloud will check the payment status before issuing the refund. If it has been refunded, Givecloud will update the contribution to be marked as refunded. If you use another payment gateway, please reach out to givecloud support, and we'll be happy to help mark those contributions as refunded.
-
If you use, DonorPerfect, Givecloud will sync the refund to DonorPerfect. If Donor Records have been created, the donor records will need to be manually removed from DonorPerfect.
