Rate Limits
Learn about request limits and fraud controls in Payabli
For security and fraud prevention, Payabli applies two different kinds of rate limits: request limits, and transaction limits (also known as fraud controls).
Payabli reserves the right to alter rate limited in case of security concerns, and will communicate changes to impacted accounts.
Request limits
Payabli has request velocity limits in place to give optimal system performance, security, and fair usage. Request limits govern the number of requests a single API token can make to endpoints in a given period. Reach out to the Payabli team if you have a use case that requires limit changes.
| Number of requests | Period |
|---|---|
| 200 | Minute |
| 3000 | 15 Minutes |
| 10000 | Hourly |
Fraud controls
Fraud controls, also known as transaction limits, dictate the number of declines and transactions a paypoint may process within a specified period.
Reach out to the Payabli team to customize transaction limits for individual paypoints.
| Description | Default Limit |
|---|---|
| Max number of declines per card, hourly | 3 |
| Max number of declines per IP address, hourly | 3 |
| Max declines per paypoint, hourly | 10 |
| Max declines per payor, hourly | 3 |
| Max transactions per paypoint in 15 minutes | 250 |
| Max transactions per card hourly | 10 |
