Hi Community

We are integrating Cybersource into our online beauty salon platform ms beauty salon. Our website serves two main purposes:

Service Bookings: Customers book salon appointments online and pay a deposit or full amount.
E-commerce Store: We sell beauty and cosmetic products directly to customers.

To ensure our beauty clients have a seamless and premium booking/shopping experience, we need advice on the following:

Reducing Booking Abandonment: Booking a salon service is highly time-sensitive. If a payment fails at checkout, the appointment slot gets locked or lost. What is the best way to implement "real-time authorization" so clients know instantly if their payment went through?
Tokenization for Repeat Clients: Our salon has many loyal, returning clients. How can we securely store their card details using Cybersource Tokenization (Customer Payment Token) so they don't have to re-enter their card details every time they book a service?
Fraud Prevention for Premium Beauty Products: High-end cosmetics are often targets for friendly fraud/chargebacks. What fraud detection settings in Cybersource Decision Manager do you recommend specifically for retail/e-commerce beauty products?

Thank you for your guidance!
