It's mostly used by larger merchants, but there are services that do essentially that. The services analyze the transaction and will approve/deny it based on fraud risk. Denied transaction they won't cover if a 'chargeback' occurs.

The cost is usually a fixed percentage of the transaction, usually ~1% but can be higher and lower depending on the risk level of the industry.
