Stop grocery fraud and abuse without slowing down checkout.

Grocery is high-volume, low-margin, and always on. Fraudsters know it. Targeting accounts, coupons, delivery, refunds, and disputes at scale. Accertify helps you approve more legitimate orders while shutting down automated abuse and high-risk transactions so you can grow digital sales without sacrificing customer experience.

Grocery fraud isn’t one problem. It’s a chain reaction across the customer journey.

Digital grocery and food ordering creates multiple pressure points: account logins, promotion code redemption, checkout velocity, fulfillment, and post-delivery claims. Attackers exploit that complexity with automation, credential stuffing, promo abuse, and disputes, forcing teams into a constant tradeoff between stopping fraud and avoiding unnecessary friction for real shoppers. Food and QSR-style digital channels are already seeing common schemes like account takeovers, refund abuse, promo code abuse, and loyalty exploitation, and those tactics map directly to grocery’s app, pickup, and delivery experiences.

Accertify addresses fraud and abuse for Grocers

Account takeover (ATO) & loyalty/promo code abuse
Fraudsters use breached credentials to hijack accounts with stored cards, loyalty points, digital coupons, saved addresses, and subscription settings and then place orders or drain value quickly. Accertify’s Account Protection monitors logins and account events in real time using device intelligence and behavior analytics to distinguish legitimate shoppers from attackers – all without adding friction to good users.

Bot-driven account creation, multi-accounting & promo/coupon abuse.
New-customer offers, free delivery, and high-value coupon stacks attract automation and “farm” behavior. Accertify’s Account Protection helps identify fraudulent account openings and multi-accounting abuse using advanced device and behavioral signals – so you can protect incentives while keeping acquisition moving.

Card testing & stolen credential spend (including gift cards / stored value).
Automated attacks probe checkout flows to validate stolen cards, often during off-hours – before shifting to larger baskets or resellable items. Accertify’s Fraud Detection solution is built on a multi-layered approach using machine learning, device intelligence, and user behavior analytics to block payment fraud without pushing unnecessary friction to real customers.

Pickup & delivery fraud (“I didn’t receive it,” reroutes, and fast-follow changes).
Grocery fulfillment introduces unique risk: last-mile disputes, pickup impersonation, address changes, and claim spikes tied to promos or high-demand items. Accertify helps you spot suspicious behavior patterns and connect identity + payment risk signals, enabling smarter step-up or review where it matters most.

Refund, reship, and “missing item” abuse.
Friendly fraud and policy exploitation can quietly erode margins especially when teams default to appeasement refunds. Accertify’s approach reduces loss by identifying risky claims and providing clearer decisioning—so you can protect margins while preserving customer experience.

Chargebacks & disputes.
Disputes are lost revenue plus operational drag often hitting grocer hardest when “not received” and “not as described” narratives pile up. Accertify’s Chargeback Management solution helps you reduce workload and improve outcomes with streamlined workflows, evidence automation, and dispute intelligence—reducing time spent dealing with chargebacks.
