For most Shopify brands, that guess is quietly costing real revenue, and BFCM is about to multiply it.In this episode, Trevor Miller, Senior Account Executive at ClearSale, breaks down:* Why false declines, not chargebacks, are the fraud number most merchants can't quote* How a one point lift in legitimate approvals on $20M in sales can add up to $200K in order value* Where Shopify Protect stops and a second human review picks up the gray area orders* Why January is the "report card month" for every holiday fraud decision you make right nowSelling higher-ticket products, shipping internationally, or canceling more "risky" orders than you'd like? This one's for you. Trevor also shares one number to pull before Black Friday, plus a listener-only offer from ClearSale in the show notes.📝 Full show notes + resources: https://ecommercefastlane.com/podcast/episode-490/Connect with us:🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/stevenhutt/💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shutt/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thrivingwithshopify/
