Amount Filter

The Amount Filter allows you to set lower and/or upper limit transaction amount thresholds. All transactions received with an amount less than your lower limit or greater than your upper limit will be filtered and handled according to the filter action you select.

The filter status, Filter Enabled, Filter Disabled or Not Configured appears at the top of the page.

Multiple transactions that are part of the same order do not trigger this filter.

To enable the Amount Filter:

Step 1: Click the Enable Filter check box at the top of the page. Or, to disable the Amount Filter, make sure that the Enable Filter check box is deselected.

Step 2: Enter the desired amounts in the Lower Limit and Upper Limit text fields.

Note: Carefully consider the amounts you set for the lower limit and upper limit. The lower limit needs to allow for $0 authorizations. When setting the upper limit, keep in mind the highest possible combination of multiple items purchased. You may want to search your transaction history for the highest transaction amounts you’ve processed in the past to determine an appropriate upper limit. Also, be sure to re-evaluate and, if necessary, modify your lower limit and upper limit each time you add new merchandise or services.

Step 3: Click the radio button next to the appropriate Filter Action for this filter.

Note: In the event that a transaction triggers more than one filter, and each filter is configured with a different action, the most severe filter action will be applied to the transaction. For example, you might configure filter A to decline all triggered transactions, and filter B to authorize but hold all triggered transactions. If a transaction triggers both filters A and B, it will be declined rather than authorized and held for review.

Step 4: Click Save to save your settings or click Cancel to cancel the action.

Your saved settings are applied immediately to all transactions screened by the Advanced Fraud Detection Suite.
