The announcement was published by [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chargeflow-launches-prevent-2-0-as-new-data-shows-one-in-three-black-friday-chargebacks-says-never-arrived-302916449.html).\n\n## How Chargeflow Prevent 2.0 Works\n\nPrevent 2.0 scans every order for fraud and abuse after checkout and blocks risky orders before fulfillment, according to the company, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). Every merchant already running Prevent automatically moves to the upgraded protection, with nothing to switch on. The model scans for third-party fraud in the same decision as friendly fraud, spots signs such as different names shipping to the same address, and is better at spotting known repeat disputers, including buyers with a history of disputing orders they received even on their first order with a store. Every decision draws on Chargeflow Network Intelligence, the dispute data Chargeflow sees across more than 20,000 merchants.\n\n\"We built Chargeflow so that when merchants deliver, the revenue they've earned stays theirs,\" said Avia Chen, co-founder, chief product officer and chief marketing officer of Chargeflow. \"We believe every merchant should have this protection, and that it should come switched on rather than as a project. Prevent 2.0 is how we deliver on that for Black Friday 2026.\"\n\nPrevent 2.0 is now live for Shopify merchants. Merchants new to Prevent get the first 1,000 scanned transactions free through Dec. 31, 2026. After that, Prevent costs $0.10 per scanned transaction for each order or subscription renewal it scans. Merchants new to Chargeflow can install Chargeflow from the Shopify App Store and activate Prevent, while existing Chargeflow merchants can activate Prevent in their account.\n\n## Chargeflow Data Lab Findings on Black Friday Chargebacks\n\nChargeflow also launched the Chargeflow Data Lab, whose first reports draw on about three million disputes across the last three peak seasons. Over the 2025 Black Friday to Cyber Monday weekend, 34.7% of chargebacks said the order never arrived, the claim card networks call \"item not received,\" up from 19.9% in a normal week. Fraud claims fell to 27.2% of chargebacks over the weekend from 37.8% in a normal week. \"Never arrived\" disputes that went to a decision were won about 1.5 times as often when backed by strong evidence, such as proof of delivery.\n\n## Veryfi, EXL Service and Spade Fraud Launches\n\nVeryfi launched its Fraud Detection & Prevention Suite, which identifies fraudulent documents in real time, [The Paypers](https://thepaypers.com/fraud-and-fincrime/news/veryfi-launches-fraud-detection-suite-for-ai-generated-documents) reported on October 21, 2026. In a sample of 200,000 cheques, it flagged 16,664 worth $7.38 million. EXL Service's graph neural network model lifted fraud capture from 27% to 33% at the same alert rate, [StartupHub.ai](https://www.startuphub.ai/ai-news/artificial-intelligence/2026/exl-s-graph-model-finds-fraud-in-the-edges) reported on October 14, 2026.
