Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users.

About FUGU

Fraud Prevention, Chargeback Guarantee, KYC, Working month-to-month - 0 risk, no commitments.

Working month-to-month - 0 risk, no commitments.

FUGU offers a 360° self-learning fraud prevention strategy fighting fraud at various points along the transaction life cycle. Now online sellers can be sure that maximum transactions are approved with minimal exposure to future chargebacks.

  1. The highest approval rates in the industry
  2. Chargeback liability
  3. Chargeback management - any kind of chargeback (including the liability price)
  4. Automatic, fully customizable, and branded KYC (know you the customer) system
  5. Working month-to-month - zero risk, no long-term commitments

Working month-to-month - zero risk, no long-term commitments.

FUGU offers a multi-tier self-learning fraud-prevention strategy. Unlike other solutions, FUGU's fraud-detection software tracks online payments post-purchase, as we believe that EVERY PAYMENT COUNTS!

FUGU reduces false transaction declines by 50%, wins chargeback disputes by 85%, and identifies fraud attacks, including cases of friendly fraud. FUGU also offers a chargeback liability shift service, covering fraud and authorization reason codes...

As part of FUGU's motto - "EVERY PAYMENT COUNTS", we offer a unique KYC system for automating verification processes and increasing its success rate to the highest rates in the industry. FUGU is a must-have solution for any business that accepts online payments, such as: 1. eCommerce websites - supporting all platforms (including the Shopify app) 2. Payment getaways 3. SaaS 4. Investments companies \ exchanges (for accepting investors' deposits) 5. Gaming\Casino 6. Banks, creditcards, etc Unique offering: 1. Chargeback liability shift - thanks to our well-trained algorithm, we can allow ourselves to be competitive when it comes to pricing. Moreover, we claim to accept more transactions than any other provider in the world - FUGU is not declining risky orders as it has 24 - 48 hours to screen them before the fulfillment, in that time, FUGU will manage to approve at least 50% of those orders. *In addition, FUGU is managing all chargebacks (approved, non-approved, and even "legit" chargebacks). Completly dismiss our client to deal with these things and of course, our winning rate is much higher. 2. KYC - FUGU offers an automated branded KYC process that works fast, and smoothly, and can automatically compare IDs to selfies, verify credit cards, etc. FUGU's KYC can be purchased as a stand-alone product for investment companies, crypto exchanges, casinos, and more. 3. Decision support system - Works on all eCommerce platforms (webhook), or an app on the Shopify app store. The system monitors the risk not only pre-order but also post-checkout. FUGU collects a lot of evidence so in case of a chargeback, merchants can easily download a PDF full of evidence and submit it in one click to win the dispute. Working month-to-month - 0 risk, no commitments.

    The fraud system is impressive. It has successfully identified and prevented many instances of fraud. However, I believe that the support system could be improved. It can take a long time to get a response from customer service.

    Pros:
    I found the system they had in place for rating each order based on fraud risks quite impressive. It's always a good idea to have some automated system in place for canceling orders deemed high-risk, as this helps prevent potential losses.
    Cons:
    Their support is not up to the other available options' standards.

    Vendor Response

    Dear John, Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad to hear that you found our software useful and sorry for your dissatisfaction regarding our support. To be honest, the most important thing to us, even more than providing the best fraud-detection software you may find, is to give our users the highest level of support in the market. Recently, we started to provide live chat 20 hours a day (7 days a week) and we plan to make it 24\7 soon. As we can't know specifically who you are, I would personally appreciate it if you could reach out to me directly at emma@fugu-it.com so we could investigate your specific case to improve our support level and find a good way to compensate you for this specific inconvenience. Cheers, Emma, customer support.

    Just started my company last year and added FUGU after doing some research. It detects when a payment might be fraud, which is great because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to tell.
    Cons:
    I guess a more obvious notification would be nice if someone is placing a risky order

    Pros:
    My e-commerce website has limited capabilities in fraud detection. There have been several instances where FUGU has flagged a transaction missed by Shopify’s built-in software. Fortunately I haven’t had an issue yet, but j appreciate the additional peace of mind.
    Cons:
    Some of the terminology is unclear to me - a little industry jargon. It would be helpful to have further explanation on what each detection term means and why it matters.
