$4.61

lost for every $1 of actual fraud, before fees and overhead

The true cost of fraud is not just the chargeback. Fees, labor, lost merchandise, and operational overhead mean every $1 of fraud costs merchants $4.61. Kount stops fraud before it ever becomes a chargeback. See how it connects to checkout protection.

$48B

global eCommerce fraud losses in 2025, projected to reach $107B by 2029

Fraud is growing faster than eCommerce itself. Global losses hit $48 billion in 2025 and are projected to exceed $107 billion by 2029. High-volume Shopify merchants without dedicated fraud tooling absorb more of that cost every year.

61%

of chargebacks are friendly fraud, not stolen cards

Most chargebacks come from buyers disputing legitimate purchases. Kount's behavioral pattern recognition identifies these buyers across its global merchant network before they can dispute a second time.

98%

client retention

Most Shero integration clients continue on a retainer for ongoing rule calibration and monitoring. Fraud patterns shift and Kount rules need to evolve with them.

Working with Shero has been an outstanding experience. Their team is highly skilled and easy to work with.

What a Shopify Kount integration covers

Shopify Kount integration adds real-time fraud scoring to every transaction using device, behavioral, and payment data. Shero integrates Kount for Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants dealing with chargebacks, bot attacks, or heavy manual review workflows, including setup, custom rules, and pre-launch testing.

  • Kount API connection to Shopify checkout and order events
  • Real-time transaction scoring using Kount Identity Trust Global Network
  • Custom risk rules: thresholds, velocity checks, device fingerprinting
  • Friendly fraud detection: pattern matching on repeat disputers
  • False positive reduction: approve more good orders automatically
  • Shopify Flow integration: auto-cancel, hold, or flag high-risk orders

Why brands choose Shero for Shopify Kount integration

Kount is one of the most capable fraud prevention platforms available, but misconfigured rules block legitimate customers and misconfigured thresholds let fraudulent orders through. Shero calibrates Kount specifically for your product type, customer geography, and order value distribution so the rules actually fit your business.

01

False declines cost merchants more than fraud itself

Merchants lose far more from rejected good orders than from actual fraud. False declines cost the industry roughly $442 billion annually, versus $25 billion from friendly fraud chargebacks. Getting your Kount thresholds right means approving more legitimate orders, not just blocking more bad ones.

02

61% of chargebacks are friendly fraud, not stolen cards

Most chargebacks come from buyers disputing legitimate purchases, not stolen card numbers. Kount's pattern recognition identifies repeat disputers using device and behavioral signals across its global network, flagging those accounts before they place another order.

03

Kount checks billions of data points per year across a global merchant network

Kount's Identity Trust Global Network spans thousands of merchants, building a shared intelligence layer no single store could replicate. A fraudster flagged at another Kount merchant gets caught at yours too, without you having to see a single chargeback first.

04

Custom rules matter more than default settings for high-risk product categories

Default fraud thresholds are built for average order values and typical fraud patterns. High-AOV products, regulated categories, and international orders all need rules tuned to their specific risk profile. Shero builds Kount rules around your actual order data and fulfillment logic rather than starting from defaults.

05

Shopify Flow connects Kount decisions directly to order operations

Once Kount scores an order, Shopify Flow can act on it automatically: cancel high-risk orders, hold them for manual review, or tag them for your fraud team. No custom code required for the operational layer, just Flow triggers wired to Kount's risk score output.

06

High chargeback rates can get your payment processor suspended

Visa's VAMP program, active since April 2025, monitors merchant chargeback ratios monthly. Stores above threshold face fines and risk losing payment processing entirely. Kount directly reduces that ratio. See how checkout fraud controls and Kount work together for full coverage.

How Shero integrates Kount with Shopify

01

Fraud audit and risk profile

Review current chargeback rate, fraud types, order value distribution, and customer geography. Map the specific risk patterns before touching any configuration.

02

Kount API integration

Connect Kount's API to Shopify checkout and post-purchase order events. Configure the data payload to send device, session, and payment data to Kount on every transaction.

03

Rule design and calibration

Build custom risk rules based on your product category, AOV, and fraud history. Set approval, review, and decline thresholds that match your actual risk tolerance, not Kount defaults.

04

Shopify Flow setup

Build Flow automations that act on Kount's risk score output: auto-cancel, hold for review, or tag for manual inspection. Test with real order scenarios before enabling in production.

05

Parallel testing

Run Kount in shadow mode on live traffic to compare its decisions against current outcomes. Calibrate thresholds based on real data before switching to enforcement mode.

06

Go-live and monitoring

Enable Kount enforcement. Monitor chargeback rate, false decline rate, and order approval rate weekly for the first 30 days. Adjust rules as patterns emerge.
