FraudLabs Pro provides you with a flexible way to automatically authenticate your buyer via SMS verification by using validation rules. For example, you can set up a validation rule to trigger the SMS verification if he is using a free email. In the process to authenticate a buyer’s phone number, FraudLabs Pro will prompt the buyer to complete the SMS Verification in the Shopify “Thank you” page, the status page right after the checkout process. On the page, the buyer will be required to enter a valid phone number to receive an SMS (Short Message Service) that will contain the OTP (One Time Passcode). Then, the buyer will need to fill in the correct OTP received to successfully authenticate himself/herself. This will certainly lessen your efforts compared to if you had to manually contact them for verification purpose.
