Konduto .NET SDK https://www.konduto.com
Welcome! This document will explain how to integrate with Konduto's anti-fraud service so you can begin to spot fraud on your e-commerce website.
Our service uses the visitor's behavior to analyze browsing patterns and detect fraud. You will need to add a JavaScript snippet to your website and tag your pages, so we can see your visitors, and call our REST API to send purchases, so we can analyze them.
This document refers to the .NET SDK used for our API.
- .NET Framework 4.0 or 4.5
Install our package avaiable at Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/KdtSdk/
When a customer makes a purchase you must send the order information to us so we can analyze it. We perform a real-time analysis and return you a recommendation of what to do next and a score, a numeric confidence level about that order.
While many of the parameters we accept are optional we recommend you send all you can, because every data point matters for the analysis. The billing address and credit card information are specially important, though we understand there are cases where you don't have that information.
You will need an API key to authenticate the requests. Luckily for you the examples below have been populated with a working key, so you can just copy and paste to see how it works.
// creates a Konduto instance, which is a class that communicates with our API by using HTTP methods.
Konduto konduto = new Konduto("T738D516F09CAB3A2C1EE"); // T738D516F09CAB3A2C1EE is the API keyKondutoOrder is a class that models the attributes and behavior of an order.
All entities involved in Konduto's analysis process (e.g customer, shopping cart, payment, etc.) inherit from KondutoModel and are under the models package.
KondutoOrder order = new KondutoOrder
{
Id = "123",
TotalAmount = 123.4,
Customer = customer // customer is an instance of KondutoCustomer
}; One can also use the more conventional set-based approach as seen below.
KondutoOrder order = new KondutoOrder();
order.Id = "123";
order.TotalAmount = 123.4;
order.Customer = customer;Another way of initializing an instance of KondutoModel is to call KondutoModel's fromMap method and pass a Map and the instance class as arguments.
NOTICE: the order created above is really, really simple. The more detail you provide, more accurate Konduto's analysis will be.

After creating the order, sending it to Konduto's analysis is very simple.
if(order.IsValid()){
try {
konduto.Analyze(order);
// A KondutoException will be thrown if the response is anything other than 200 OK.
// You can catch more specific exceptions if you want to (e.g KondutoHTTPBadRequestException).
catch(KondutoException e) {
// Put any exception handling here.
e.printStackTrace();
persistAsNotAnalyzed(order, e.getMessage());
}
} else {
LOGGER.debug(order.getErrors());
}Notice that if the analysis fails, a KondutoException will be thrown. Handle it as you wish.
After the analysis, some order attributes will be filled. For example the recommendation.
// The command below should print something like "Konduto recommendation is to APPROVE".
Console.WriteLine("Konduto recommendation is to: " + order.Recommendation);In order to do that use the Konduto class in the following way:
try
{
KondutoOrder order = konduto.GetOrder(orderId); // orderId is a String
}
catch (KondutoException e)
{
// Exception handling code
}try
{
// the order status will be set to newStatus if the request succeeds.
konduto.UpdateOrderStatus(orderId, newStatus, "some comments");
}
catch (KondutoException e)
{
// Exception handling code
}| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| status | (required) New status for this transaction. Either approved, declined or fraud, when you have identified a fraud or chargeback. |
| comments | (required) Reason or comments about the status update. |

If you experience problems sending orders for analysis, querying orders or updating order status, it might be a good idea
to call konduto.Debug(). This will print out the API Key, the endpoint, the request body and the response body.
