Security for Online Stores & Payments

Approve more customers, charge back less, and keep the bots and card-testing off your checkout.

How Nemesis protects Security for Online Stores & Payments in one pass
Live flow: attacks stopped at each layer, your real users served.

For an online store, every attack is an attack on revenue. The storefront, the checkout and the APIs are the business, and they get hit three ways: bots, payment fraud, and downtime.

The threat

Most of the traffic hitting your site is automated. Bad bots make up more than a third of all web traffic, and during peak sales they can be the majority of your "shoppers". They test stolen cards, take over accounts, scrape prices, hoard stock, and skim card details at checkout:

  • Card-testing and BIN attacks on your payment API, rising sharply year over year.
  • Checkout skimmers injected into the payment page, hitting thousands of stores.
  • Account takeover at login, and credential stuffing at scale.
  • Chargebacks, now dominated by first-party and friendly fraud.

And the quiet one nobody dashboards: you lose far more revenue to false declines, good customers wrongly blocked, than to actual fraud.

What Nemesis does

One agent wraps your whole store, with no re-platforming:

  • Edge drops bot floods before they cost you.
  • Application Shield detects and blocks card-testing and checkout skimmers, and stops account takeover and API abuse at the app layer.
  • Omniguard scores every transaction in real time, so fraud is declined before it ships and you stay below the card-scheme monitoring line, while sharper scoring means fewer false declines and more approvals.

The money

Every naira of fraud costs you several times over once you count fees, labor and lost goods, and crossing the card-scheme fraud threshold can cost you your merchant account entirely. Nemesis keeps you on the safe side of that line, and raises approvals at the same time.

Getting started

Start with a 30-day pilot on your checkout, observe-only. We show you the bots, the card-testing, the skimmers, and the good customers you are wrongly declining, on your own traffic.
