Zuora Fraud Protection is an opt-in payment fraud protection service that leverages the capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection. This service helps protect merchants from payment fraud and reduces chargeback rates through adaptive AI technology.

Before you begin

For tenants with the Multi-entity feature enabled, ensure that the ID of each tenant has been configured in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection. The enablement and configuration of Zuora Fraud Protection are applied for each tenant with its ID configured in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fraud Protection.

  2. Configure the fraud protection service in Zuora.

  • Enable Zuora Fraud Protection for your Zuora tenant. 

In your request, you must include the following information:

  • Your Zuora tenant ID(s)

    The number of tenants that Zuora can provision for you is based on your entitlement plan.

  • Email alias for any desired admin users

Zuora will create the appropriate Microsoft account for you and grant secure access to those administrators to manage users and user permissions within the Microsoft DFP portal. If the email alias is not provided, Zuora cannot provision access to the account.
