# Prevent fraud by validating orders with less value

This article helps you to validate orders that have less value to prevent fraudulent and minimize chargeback rates. With this feature, you can automatically flag or block suspicious orders with values below a specific threshold, helping to safeguard your business from chargebacks and losses.

# Benefits

* **Reduce fraud risks**: Automatically identify and block orders with unusually low values that may be part of fraud schemes.
    
* **Minimize chargebacks**: By preventing fraudulent transactions upfront, you reduce the risk of chargebacks and related fees.
    
* **Maintain order quality**: Ensure that only legitimate orders with reasonable values are processed, leading to better resource allocation.
    
* **Improve operational efficiency**: Save time and effort by filtering out low-value fraudulent orders before they enter the fulfillment process.
