Which system provides better protection for my business, PayPal’s built-in systems or the Fraud Protection Services add-ons?
Both systems are very good; they just work differently. It really comes down to which system is right for you and your business: Payflow Link and Website Payments Pro are designed for merchants who wish to manage their own fraud risk – to make their own decisions about which orders to accept or refuse. PayPal’s built-in fraud protection systems work in the background, invisible to the merchant, and make all the decisions. These systems are very good at what they do, and they save you the hassle of manually reviewing orders.
