<p>Integrates WooCommerce with BadActors.io fraud detection API to help merchants identify, prevent and report fraudulent orders.</p>
<h3>Review Customers, Prevent Friendly Fraud, and Protect Your E-Commerce Business</h3>
<p>Protect your business from chargeback fraud and return fraud with BadActors. Our merchant-powered fraud detection system flags high-risk orders before they cost you money. When customers abuse chargebacks or return policies, share fraud reports with our network. We\’ll alert you when they order from you, giving you the power to protect your business.</p>
<h3>How it Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>When a customer commits chargeback fraud or return fraud, document the incident directly from your order page. Your fraud report helps protect merchants across our network.</li>
<li>Our system automatically scans every new order against our fraud database, flagging customers with verified fraud reports from other merchants.</li>
<li>Get instant alerts on high-risk orders. Require signature confirmation, add insurance, or cancel suspicious orders. You stay in control.</li>
</ol>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the BadActors API to compare customer information<br />
to our system to find any matching fraud reports.</p>
<p>Basic order information is sent and stored in our system for potential fraud<br />
analysis. That data includes order total, order date, WooCommerce order number,<br />
total order item quantity, and billing postal code.</p>
<p>Additionally, when a merchant submits a fraud review, we store the customer’s<br />
contact information associated with that order, including first and last name,<br />
email, phone number, and billing and shipping address. We never share any of a<br />
customer’s personal contact information with another merchant. It’s stored<br />
exclusively for the purpose of matching their fraud report to other orders<br />
they submit.</p>

Kount Fraud Prevention


Unfortunately, the architectural limitations of this plugin prevent HTML from being cached, unless overridden by a performance-oriented plugin that counteracts the default headers generated by PHP.



When we contacted Kount's Support team regarding this issue, their response was to rely on these additional plugins, which essentially act as patches for poorly coded plugins. In an ideal scenario, such plugins should not be necessary if everyone followed best practices.



As of now, Saucal cannot confidently endorse this plugin for large-scale use, as it still relies on an external dependency to achieve acceptable performance. In order for us to reconsider our stance, it is imperative that the plugin's architecture is thoroughly revised, eliminating the need for stock PHP sessions.


Not recommended at scale

Kount provides industry-leading fraud protection to reduce chargebacks and manual reviews while increasing approval rates and revenue.
