Common Questions
Do I need technical help to turn this on?
No. Activation is done through the Merchant Portal or your Merchant Service Provider—no coding required.
Will it slow checkout?
No. Kount performs fraud evaluations in the background—typically in under a second.
Which checkouts are covered?
All eCommerce, mobile, and virtual terminal sales. For customer-facing forms, device data is also collected. Merchant-initiated tools (like virtual terminal or batch upload) still receive risk scores, even if no device data is captured.
