The Problem
Fraud Is Hiding Inside Normal Customer Activity
A stolen account can look like a returning customer. A card-not-present transaction can look like a normal checkout. A bad actor can use the right password, the right shipping details, or the right promo code and still be committing fraud.
Traditional fraud tools help identify risk, but many decisions still come down to probability. Approve the order and risk the chargeback, or block the transaction and risk losing a real customer.
Ecommerce teams need a better way to ask for proof when the transaction, account, device, or behavior does not look right.
Add Verification at the Moment Fraud Risk Appears
ZKX Helix gives ecommerce teams a way to verify trust before suspicious activity becomes a financial loss. When activity looks normal, the customer can continue with little to no added friction. When the behavior looks risky, Helix can trigger a verification check tied to the trusted user and device.
That means stronger protection without turning every checkout, login, or account update into a security obstacle.

Proof-Based Fraud Prevention for ecommerce
ZKX Helix helps ecommerce teams move from risk signals alone to stronger verification at high-risk decision points.
Instead of adding another blanket challenge to every customer, Helix supports targeted friction that appears only when the risk calls for it.

Targeted step-up authentication
Trigger verification only when activity looks suspicious, unusual, or high-value.
Zero-knowledge authentication

Checkout-friendly security

Reduce Ecommerce Fraud Without Adding Unnecessary Friction
Fraud prevention is not only a checkout problem. Risk appears across the entire customer journey, from account creation to payment, shipping, returns, loyalty programs, and profile changes. ZKX helps ecommerce teams add proof where the business impact is highest.
Account Takeover Protection
Challenge suspicious logins, device changes, unusual locations, and account activity that may indicate a compromised customer account.
Checkout Fraud Prevention
Add verification before high-risk purchases, expensive carts, unusual shipping behavior, or suspicious payment activity.
Card-Not-Present Fraud
Give teams another proof layer before approving digital transactions where the physical card is not present.
Chargeback Reduction
Catch suspicious activity earlier so fraud does not become a refund, dispute, lost product, or manual review ticket.
Account and Profile Changes
Verify sensitive changes to payment methods, shipping addresses, passwords, emails, phone numbers, and account recovery settings.
Ecommerce Fraud Moves Faster Than Manual Review
Fraud teams cannot manually inspect every transaction, account change, promo redemption, or shipping update. They need smarter ways to separate trusted activity from risky behavior before money, inventory, or customer trust is lost.
ZKX helps teams add proof at the decision point. That gives ecommerce businesses a way to reduce exposure without slowing down the customer journey.
The best fraud prevention does not interrupt every shopper. It knows when to ask for more proof.
Watch the demo
The Helix Fraud Prevention demo shows how normal transactions can move forward without added friction, while suspicious activity triggers verification.
In the demo, a location change causes the retailer to suspect potential fraud. Helix steps in at the right moment, challenges the user, and helps verify trust before the transaction continues.
