SMS code for identity confirmation
S
Samy
Currently, when creating a digital coupon, it is possible to make the phone number field unique. However, this restriction is not enough to prevent fraud. The same customer can easily use a second phone number to sign up again and get another coupon.
As part of marketing campaigns offering very attractive discounts (for example, a hamburger at 50% off), malicious users can accumulate and use several coupons by entering different numbers. This generates direct losses for retailers and distorts the effectiveness of promotional campaigns.
Proposed solution:
Add an SMS identity verification option when registering:
- A temporary 4-digit code is sent by SMS to the number entered by the customer.
- The customer must enter this code in the form to validate his identity.
- Once the code is confirmed, the coupon is issued to him.
Benefits:
Securing campaigns
Data reliability
Profitability protection
