I’m setting up a payment system for my online store and trying to understand risk levels. How do merchants or processors actually identify high-risk accounts? Are there specific signs or patterns they look for before labeling an account as high-risk?

Merchants determine if an account is high-risk by considering several and specific key factors; some of those are:
Industry Type: Businesses in sectors like gambling, adult services, or travel often face higher scrutiny.
Chargeback Rates: A history of frequent chargebacks or refunds flags an account as high-risk.
etc.
