We’re celebrating again this quarter! ClearSale continues to be the #1 E-commerce Fraud Protection Software, according to client feedback. And we’ve added another #1 feather to our cap – Small Business E-commerce Fraud Protection. G2’s Winter 2025 Report is hot off the presses with plenty of rave reviews from our customers!
We love hearing that clients rank us highly — we continue to maintain an overall score of 4.7/5 out of 199 reviews — which is considered maximum validation by G2. That means we’re delivering on our commitment to protect your revenue.
If you’re wondering why G2 doesn’t consider a perfect score maximum validation, it’s because a 5 out of 5 signals that there has been some trickery or gaming of the system. At ClearSale, we want to get all feedback — how else can we improve and provide more value?
Here’s how our rankings shaped up.
Once again, we’re in the top spot with a rank of #1 in E-commerce Fraud Protection.
What does this mean?
This category highlights ClearSale’s dominance as an overall leader in fraud protection across regions. We score high in detecting high-risk transactions and analyzing risk factors that prevent and reduce fraudulent behavior. By doing this, we help ecommerce businesses reduce their exposure to fraud and threats to their bottom line. We’re proud to capture the top spot for this category.
#1 in Small-Business Grid® Report for E-commerce Fraud Protection
For the fifth time, we’ve ranked #1 for Fraud Protection specifically for Small-Business.
Similar to the category before, this means that small businesses trust us more than any other fraud protection solutions. Receiving a wide-sweeping accolade of this type from the businesses most vulnerable to fraud is special because it accounts for the majority of our business and is a mission we take seriously.
In addition to our #1 rankings, ClearSale is considered a leader in numerous other categories.
All of these badges are earned based on customer rankings and reviews. It’s proof of how well we serve our clients.
ClearSale has consistently ranked as a trusted brand among small and midsize businesses, and this year is no exception. Other solutions make online businesses figure out scores on their own or rely entirely on an automatic system to approve or decline orders. But clients often don’t realize that this approach could lead to rejecting valid orders and lowering their approval rates.
ClearSale is different.
Our AI-enabled algorithm is based on global trends, which means our system’s accuracy level is much higher. Small businesses still get the option to essentially “plug-and-play” our solution, but they’re given more than scores — our solution also advises what those scores mean so our small clients can make informed decisions.
For midsize clients, we go a step further by offering a range of options, starting with peak-sales assistance, where our team of over 2,000 expert fraud analysts is available to train or augment their teams. They can also choose a more comprehensive solution that includes a hybrid of our automatic approval algorithm and secondary reviews of the very few flagged outliers that could be fraudulent.
The key to note is that we don’t ask for a review from any of our business clients until we’re satisfied that they have a sustainable fraud prevention process in place. As a result, our stellar reviews are based on a more thorough experience.
On that note, let’s look at some of the details.
ClearSale is considered “easy to use” and well above average in G2’s features and usability ratings that predict user satisfaction. The three features ranked highest by our customers were Risk Assessment, Fraud Detection and Transaction Scoring — all three are essential for an effective fraud prevention strategy.
It’s no surprise our automatic approval thresholds are so effective — they’re powered by an algorithm that learns and improves with every order processed and every insight from our seasoned fraud analysts. This means our solution can spot fraud trends, even in the most remote parts of the world. ClearSale has been fighting fraud since the very first ecommerce order was placed, so we know how to detect trends before they spread across industries and regions.
We’re proud of our high ratings in every category that measures how easy it is to use and work with ClearSale. From the quality of our support to the simplicity of our setup and one of the fastest average go-live times in the industry, customers love how simple we make it to protect their businesses.

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what one of our newest clients had to say about working with ClearSale for their Shopify store.
“We've just completed our project to switch to a new ecommerce platform and have opted for ClearSale. ClearSale was incredibly easy to integrate with Shopify, we had great service for all our questions, answered in a super reasonable time. The service offered by ClearSale is well worth it, especially as this work was done on a daily basis by our in-house team, who can now focus on higher value-added tasks.”
What makes our solution so popular with clients? We take a comprehensive approach.
ClearSale’s hybrid solution starts with a highly effective automatic approval algorithm that “learns” as more transactions are processed. Globally experienced fraud analysts assess the small percentage of orders flagged for review with the goal of locating as many additional approvals as possible. Fraudulent transactions are identified and declined. Human analysts along with advanced machine learning address the friendly fraud threat in real time.
By applying this global lens and a large database of orders across industries, we’re able to quickly recognize fraud trends and help clients eliminate fraud threats and prevent chargebacks — all while approving more orders, faster.
Here’s a quick look at the three decision service levels ClearSale offers to keep your business secure and efficient:
Chargeback management
Through our partnership with enterprise chargeback management service provider ChargebackOps, ClearSale offers full-scale chargeback management.
Leveraging a combination of artificial intelligence and expertise, we help prevent cyberattacks and mitigate their effects, quickly removing threats from various sources.
