About Decision Manager

CyberSource's Decision Manager allows merchants to automatically assess the validity of inbound orders. When an order is received, Decision Manager simultaneously correlates attributes of that order against the data, device insights and validation tests generated from transactions processed by Visa and CyberSource. These results are then automatically evaluated by merchant-established rules, and the order is routed for fulfillment or suspended for manual review. This entire assessment takes place in approximately two seconds.

CyberSource has been helping merchants distinguish good orders from bad since 1997.  Decision Manager is used by merchants worldwide and across multiple industry categories, including: airlines and travel, retail and direct response, services, and social and digital media/entertainment.  CyberSource also provides managed services, staffed by experts from these various industries, to complement the skills and expertise of subscribing merchants.
