ArtStation runs an automated tool that watches user behavior to detect signs of financial fraud. If suspicious activity is spotted, the tool can automatically pause a seller's payouts while a human reviews the situation.

Referred to internally as the 'Fraud Detection Tool,' this automated system analyzes user behavior — not content — to identify potential fraud on ArtStation's marketplace. It can pause payouts to users automatically without human intervention, but human review is required before any account suspension or termination can occur. This practice is disclosed in ArtStation's California AB-587 regulatory filings.
