Send data for risk analysis when processing payins

Rainforest now supports sending platform specific context on the payin, which Rainforest can use for risk analysis when processing payins and determining if a payin is fraudulent or higher risk.

Update your integration to pass the risk_data object when creating a payin config and set the following fields in the object if applicable:

  • external_ref - this represents the payin within the platform's system, such as an order ID or invoice ID.
  • end_user_ref - this represents the end user processing the payment with the merchant in the platform's system. If the end user is signed into the platform's software, then this may be the account ID or user ID.

Let your Platform Success Manager or support know if you're interested in integrating the risk_data fields so Rainforest can look at your platform's risk portfolio and adjust the risk analysis accordingly to help determine fraudulent payins.
