Stop Fraud Before Checkout
Detect and stop carding and bot attacks in the traffic path without
slowing real shoppers or risking false positives.
How Carding Attacks Actually Hit Commerce Sites
Carding attacks are not generic bot traffic.
They are targeted abuse of checkout and payment endpoints.
They are targeted abuse of checkout and payment endpoints.
In a typical attack:
- Automated bots submit thousands of rapid payment attempts
- Stolen card numbers are tested at scale
- The same session identifier is reused across many requests
- Traffic spikes are isolated to checkout and payment endpoints
The impact
is immediate:
is immediate:
- Failed authorization fees increase
- Checkout performance degrades
- Payment processors flag the merchant as high risk
- Accounts can be throttled or shut down

Why Traditional Security Falls Short
Most security tools are not built for how commerce behaves.
Common gaps:
IP-based blocking that bots easily evade
Detection after payment failures occur
Rate limits applied too late in the funnel
Overblocking that disrupts legitimate buyers
Generic Security
Generic Security can block real shoppers
Sophisticated Attacks
These attacks require smarter defenses
Commerce requires protection before checkout, not after incidents.
How Webscale Stops Fraud Before Checkout
Webscale enforces security directly in the traffic path, where commerce behavior is visible.
Legitimate shoppers attempt payment once or twice per session. Carding bots reuse the same session ID to test hundreds of cards.
Webscale detects abnormal request rates tied to session identifiers, not just IPs.
Three-Phase Enforcement for Accuracy
Webscale uses a safe, proven approach:
Observe and label
suspicious behavior without blocking
Validate patterns
in live traffic
Block with confidence
once attacks are confirmed
This eliminates false positives while stopping real attacks.
Protection Applied Before Checkout
Rate Limiting
Malicious requests are denied upstream.
Checkout endpoints remain responsive
Legitimate shoppers are unaffected
Payment gateways see clean traffic
Infrastructure remains stable during attacks
Fraud is stopped before revenue and reputation are at risk.
What Makes This Different
This is not a bolt-on WAF rule.
Webscale combines:
Application Delivery that inspects every request
Commerce-aware traffic intelligence
Session-based rate limiting and labeling
Cloud Hosting designed to absorb abuse
Security decisions are informed by how commerce traffic actually behaves.
Outcomes That Matter
Carding attempts blocked before checkout
Fewer failed authorization fees
Reduced risk
of processor flags
or shutdowns
Stable checkout performance under attack
No added friction
for real buyers
Who This Is For
Merchants processing high transaction volumes
Brands targeted by carding or bot abuse
Regulated or high-risk commerce verticals
Teams that cannot afford checkout disruption
