Common issues of the integration

How to configure BigCommerce auto-fulfillment in the Signifyd app

Setting up auto-fulfillment is a simple one-step process that involves updating your settings in Signifyd. Login to your Signifyd console and navigate to Settings. Select Integrations from the side navigation menu.

  • Toggle on Update Order Status on Approved Guarantees if you’d like Signifyd to update the order status to Awaiting Shipment upon approval for Guarantee.

  • Toggle on Update Order Status on Declined Guarantees if you’d like Signifyd to update the order status to Manual Verification Required upon decline for Guarantee.

Auto-fulfillment set-up is now complete. BigCommerce merchants can automate their order fulfillment based on Signifyd’s guarantee decision. This allows merchants to effectively speed up their order fulfillment process and ship good orders faster.

Within the order notes, you can view a history of all the updates Signifyd has made to an order. In the below scenario, when Signifyd approves an order to guarantee, we can update the order status in BigCommerce to Awaiting Shipment.

Why is Signifyd not capturing payment on my BigCommerce orders?

Suppose you have BigCommerce automated order fulfillment workflows enabled in your Signifyd settings. In that case, there are a few reasons why payment for an order in your BigCommerce store may not have been captured, and the fulfillment status was not updated. It could be that:

  • The order is currently in review and awaiting a decision. You can check the status of the order in the order timeline on the BigCommerce order page, or within the Signifyd console, to confirm.

  • The order was declined for Guarantee, and you have the workflow Cancel Orders on Declined Guarantees toggled to the off position. With that workflow not enabled, whenever an order is declined for Guarantee, Signifyd does not update the fulfillment or payment status, but leaves it as the status that a new order appears as.

  • Your payment settings in BigCommerce are still set to Automatically capture payment for orders. In that case, BigCommerce would be automatically capturing payment for your orders when the order is placed, regardless of Signifyd’s Guarantee decision, and Signifyd would not be capturing payment. To work correctly and smoothly for automated order fulfillment, you must update your payment settings in BigCommerce to Manually capture payment for orders.

Fear of fraud causes merchants to dramatically degrade customers’ buying experience

Fear of fraud causes merchants to dramatically degrade customers' buying experience

Use a new model of fraud management called guaranteed fraud protection. The model combines big data, machine learning, and a financial liability shift to transfer the burden of fraud from the merchant to the fraud protection provider. The guaranteed model’s learning machines are able to sift legitimate orders from fraudulent ones in milliseconds. Retailers can automate their orders with confidence that outgoing orders have been approved. If the model approves an order that later turns out to be fraudulent, the merchant is reimbursed for all the costs created by the fraudulent order.
