Dodo Payments' Fraud Protection is built directly into every transaction. Our system combines advanced risk scoring, automated dispute handling, and Merchant of Record liability coverage to stop fraudulent activity before it impacts your business. All of this runs silently in the background, so legitimate customers can check out without extra steps, delays, or verification fatigue.
