Intelligent URL Discovery

Automated discovery of merchant-owned URLs, landing pages, payment endpoints, and digital properties — mapping the complete digital footprint.

Intelligent URL Discovery maps a merchant's complete digital footprint by automatically identifying all web properties, landing pages, payment endpoints, and digital assets associated with a business entity. Fraudulent merchants frequently operate across multiple domains, use disposable landing pages, and maintain separate payment endpoints to distribute risk and evade detection.

The discovery engine uses domain registration analysis, DNS fingerprinting, certificate transparency logs, search engine indexing data, and social media linkage analysis to build a comprehensive inventory of merchant-associated digital properties. This discovery process forms the foundation for all other PayLegit intelligence modules by ensuring that risk assessments cover the merchant's entire digital presence — not just the URL provided during onboarding.

For acquirers onboarding merchants with a single declared URL, URL Discovery routinely uncovers undisclosed storefronts, shadow payment pages, and social-linked landing pages that would otherwise escape screening entirely.
