Unlock Insights from Payment Data

Payment Verification Overview

Payment transactions are a goldmine of information for assessing guest risk. Autohost’s Payment Verification helps you tap into this data, whether you use our direct integrations or integrate our analysis engine into your own platform.

By analyzing payment events, cardholder details, and transaction patterns, we provide an essential layer of security that complements our Fraud Detection and ID Verification solutions. Identify risky transactions, detect repeat offenders, and significantly reduce chargebacks.

Turn payment data into actionable intelligence and protect your business from costly payment fraud with Autohost’s powerful verification technology! ✨

Flexible Integration Options

Payment Integration Options

Choose the integration method that best suits your needs:

  1. Direct Integration (Stripe & Adyen): Connect your Stripe or Adyen account directly to Autohost. We automatically collect and analyze payment events (charges, failures, disputes, etc.). Provides access to billing address and cardholder name for enhanced checks.

  2. API Integration (For Platform Partners): Integrate Autohost’s analysis engine into your platform via our secure API. Send payment events from any payment processor your platform supports. Ideal for PMSs, Guest Experience Platforms, or businesses wanting to offer verification as a native feature. Leverage Autohost’s analysis on events like booking payments, security deposits, or upsells.

Both methods feed crucial data into our Screening AI for comprehensive risk assessment.

Advanced Payment Event Analysis

Payment Analysis Engine

Our system goes beyond simple transaction checks, employing sophisticated data science techniques:

  • Event Correlation: Link payment events (disputes, chargebacks, failed charges, successful charges, card failures) across different reservations and properties.

  • Pattern Recognition: Identify known fraud patterns associated with specific card types, billing locations, or transaction timings.

  • Fingerprinting: Detect repeat offenders using various fingerprinting methods based on card details, billing information, and associated metadata.

  • Outlier Detection: Flag transactions that deviate significantly from normal patterns for closer review.

  • Data Enrichment: Combine payment data with information from Fraud Detection (IP address, device info) and ID Verification for a holistic risk profile.

Synergistic Protection

Synergistic Protection

Payment Verification works best when combined with Autohost’s other powerful security solutions:

  • Fraud Detection: Identifies risky connections, devices, and behaviors before payment is even attempted.

  • ID Verification: Confirms the guest’s identity matches the reservation and payment details.

  • Payment Verification: Adds the crucial layer of analyzing the financial transaction itself, linking identity and behavior to the payment method.

Together, these tools create a formidable defense against fraud, significantly reducing financial losses and protecting your business reputation. It’s the kind of comprehensive security Autohost is known for!

Frequently Asked Questions

1 How does Payment Verification work?

Autohost offers two ways: 1) Direct Integration: Connect your Stripe or Adyen account, and we automatically collect payment events, perform checks (like a $2 pre-auth), and analyze data. 2) API Integration: For platforms wanting to embed our technology, you can send payment events (like successful charges, failures, disputes) from any processor directly to our API for analysis.

2 What kind of analysis does Autohost perform on payment events?

We use data science techniques to analyze payment events (successful charges, failures, disputes, etc.). We perform correlations between reservations, look for outliers, identify known fraud patterns, and use fingerprinting methods to detect repeat offenders based on card details and associated data.

3 Can Autohost process payments or refunds with the API integration method?

No, when integrating via our API to send payment events, Autohost only provides the analysis. We cannot initiate charges, pre-authorizations, or refunds. The integrating platform retains full control over payment processing actions.

4 What data is needed for the API integration?

Platforms integrating our technology should send relevant payment events including transaction status (success, failure), cardholder name, billing address (if available), and unique identifiers for the card and transaction. The more comprehensive the event data, the better our analysis.

5 How does Payment Verification help reduce chargebacks?

By analyzing payment data and correlating it with other verification signals (like Fraud Detection and ID Verification), we can identify high-risk transactions *before* they lead to chargebacks. Detecting repeat offenders and suspicious patterns helps prevent fraudulent bookings that often result in disputes.

6 Is this different from the Security Deposit feature?

Payment Verification is one component of our full Security Deposit feature available via direct integration. When integrating via API, platforms leverage *only* the verification/analysis aspect of payment events, not the security deposit hold or damage waiver functionality.
