Solution: OFFER PROMOTIONS

Prevent promotion abuse and foster loyalty.

Ensure the right customers get the right promos with Promo Protection from Pi.

The balancing act of promos and fraud

Promotions drive new customers, increase sales, and boost customer loyalty. They also open the door for bad actors to exploit offerings through loopholes and gaps in policies. Although most customers don’t see the harm in promo abuse, businesses are left holding the bag—facing major losses and increases to operational costs.

Understanding the different types of promo fraud.

We like to break down promo fraud into two sections: new customer fraud and existing customer fraud. Promos to attract new customers are susceptible at the sign-up and onboarding process. Loyalty-driven promos for existing customers are vulnerable to coupon sharing, referral fraud and post-purchase frauds such as refund abuse and item-not-received (INR) fraud. If the post-purchase frauds aren’t dealt with, they can lead to chargeback fraud. Pi’s Promo Protection fights against both types of fraud, saving you money and increasing loyalty with your customers.

Prevent policy abuse and promote loyalty with Pi’s targeted approach.

Pi uses machine learning to analyze user behavior to identify potentially risky customers and bad actors. This allows you to personalize your promotions, opting to withhold offers from potentially bad actors. When a threat is detected, Pi automatically increases verification for only the customer in question. You can also easily control the friction, limitations and restrictions on refund claims. All this happens behind the scenes controlled by parameters you set, leaving no negative impact on good customers.
