NoFraud & Skio Power Subscription Growth for Magic Mind

Challenges

As Magic Mind expanded, they faced critical challenges that not only hindered their ability to scale but also threatened their ability to build trust with customers and protect their brand equity. High fraud exposure, manual processes, and ineffective subscription management became major blockers. Without the right systems in place, they risked losing revenue and damaging customer relationships. Here are the three key challenges they had to overcome in order to continue their upward momentum.

1. False declines. False declines were a major issue. All medium- and high-risk orders were automatically declined, causing legitimate customers to be rejected due to overly conservative fraud protection measures. This led to missed revenue opportunities, customer dissatisfaction, and an increase in customer acquisition costs (CAC).
2. High fraud exposure. While Magic Mind had a below average chargeback rate of 0.30% for their industry, it was still an unnecessary drain on resources that hindered their growth trajectory. Additionally, orders that required manual review became a time-consuming process that increased operational costs. The company needed a more accurate fraud prevention solution that could keep bad actors from continuously taking advantage. 
3. Subscription management complexity. With multiple products and cross-selling opportunities, managing complex subscription logic became increasingly difficult. Magic Mind needed an efficient system to personalize customer experiences, automate promotions, and optimize churn prevention strategies.
