Forter
Forter is a New York City-headquartered ecommerce fraud prevention and digital identity platform founded in 2013 by Michael Reitblat and Alon Shemesh. The company operates an AI-powered decision platform for digital commerce that helps merchants approve more legitimate transactions while blocking fraud, account takeover, payment abuse, policy abuse, and return/refund abuse. Forter's products include Fraud Management, Payment Optimization (3DS, card vaulting, network uplift, payment orchestration, predictive routing), Dispute / Chargeback Recovery, Account Protection (sign-up, login, session), Abuse Prevention (checkout and post-purchase), Element for Payment Service Providers, and an Agentic Commerce suite for AI-agent-initiated transactions. The platform is built on what Forter describes as the world's largest first-party identity network, derived from real consumer interactions across hundreds of leading retailers, marketplaces, and food-delivery brands such as Adidas, eBay, Instacart, Nordstrom, Priceline, Sephora, and Wayfair. Forter exposes a public Core API (orders, 3DS, disputes, accounts, merchants, compensation, data privacy) and an Evidence API documented at docs.forter.com, alongside prebuilt integrations for Magento/Adobe Commerce, Salesforce B2C Commerce, commercetools, Adyen, Braintree, Checkout.com, Paysafe, Worldline, Worldpay, and others. Forter is also the sponsor of the open-source Trusted Agentic Commerce Protocol, a secure authentication and data-encryption protocol for AI agents, merchants, and merchant vendors. The company has raised approximately $525M in venture funding from Sequoia Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, NEA, and others, and has been valued at roughly $3B at last public reporting.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Forter the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Forter scores 9.6/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Forter
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Forter. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
