Phone / SMS verification for new commerce customers

[inkredible]

Hello,

are there applications / plugins which allow the implementation of a phone / sms verification for new customers? We faced a lot creditcard fraud which we would like to prevent this by adding an extra security obstacle (SMS / phone verification). There are a couple providers which offer an easy to use API for such stuff. Obviously sending SMS / phone verifications cost money but 0.05$ / successful verification is better than a 25$ chargeback fee for every 10th-20th customer.

I'd also like this.

We do use MaxMind but I feel like it's not enough.

@Mark would it be hard to implement something like that additional verification?

You might want to check on custom development with @bfarber as he mentioned he built an SMS notification system for IPS before.

To be clear, I implemented it within the IPS framework, however I did it "outside of work" just playing around. I used Twilio and was testing some of their various APIs and features.

Would love to see this released as an officially supported Community Integration or a Marketplace feature.

Maybe you want to make use of this and provide it as application in the Marketplace? 

That really hurts because creditcard fraud is way too easy:

 

Edit: @Joel R mentioned custom development. Is that a thing IPS offers? Who has the rights for the source code afterwards / am I allowed to sell it myself in the marketplace then? Where do I get a pricing / more information?

You basically never win disputes. And not to mention there's a $20 fee

I agree hence it's even more important to avoid the disputes in the first place using additional authentications like this suggested feature. Don't you think so?
