<p>This plugin would figure out a user location (country and city, but have in mind that the city information is only 60% reliable) by matching his IP address to an IP addresses database. The information would then be stored in a cookie and in a global variable, to be used by other plugins or themes. This happens quietly in the background without the user seeing anything.</p>
<p>Furthermore, for sites using qTranslate X for multilanguage, it can set the language of the site upon the user’s first visit, using country-based rules that you set up in the plugin options. Normally qTranslate X offers automatic setting of language based on the browser language, but in many countries browser localisation is not as popular and a lot of people use english language browsers, so this method is not reliable and some people would prefer to set the language based on the user’s country.</p>
<p>This plugin does not do much on its own (except for the integration with qTranslate) – it provides valuable data to be integrated with other code on your website. The idea behind it is to have a fast, simple and reliable tool for getting location, which could be used on a per-need basis. The plugin loads no scripts and no stylesheets and uses class autoloading to load its code only when it’s actually needed.</p>
<p>It also does its best to recognize robots, crawlers and content fetchers and only run for regular site visitors.</p>
<p>Future verions will also provide a tool for precise geolocation, using the user’s GPS and WiFi data (html5 geolocation).</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically gets country and city by IP address and saves it in a cookie and a global variable</li>
<li>Possible qTranslate X language setting based on country, upon first visit</li>
<li>Ability to get precise geolocation information by asking for user permissions and using his GPS and WiFi data</li>
</ul>

<p>FraudShield checks the buyer’s IP address when an order is placed and assigns a fraud risk score from 0 to 100. Based on that score, orders can be automatically held, cancelled, or flagged for manual review. The store admin can also receive email alerts with a full breakdown of what triggered the score.</p>
<p>The check runs after order creation so it has no impact on checkout speed or customer experience.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>FraudShield connects to the ipgeolocation.io Security API and evaluates the response against the fraud signals you have enabled. The score is calculated as:</p>
<p>(sum of triggered signal weights) / (sum of enabled signal weights) x 100</p>
<p>This keeps scoring consistent regardless of how many signals you have turned on.</p>
<h4>Fraud signals</h4>
<ul>
<li>Country mismatch (billing country vs IP country)</li>
<li>VPN detected</li>
<li>Tor exit node</li>
<li>Proxy detected</li>
<li>Residential proxy</li>
<li>Known attacker IP</li>
<li>Bot traffic</li>
<li>Spam source</li>
<li>Cloud or datacenter IP</li>
</ul>
<h4>Risk tiers</h4>
<ul>
<li>Low: 0 to 40</li>
<li>Medium: 41 to 70</li>
<li>High: 71 to 100</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatic fraud check on every new order</li>
<li>Toggle individual signals on or off</li>
<li>Adjustable weight per signal</li>
<li>Critical override option to force a score of 100 on any signal</li>
<li>Hold, cancel, or flag high-risk orders automatically</li>
<li>Email alerts with signal breakdown</li>
<li>Configurable score thresholds for alerts and actions</li>
<li>Dashboard with order stats and trends</li>
<li>Fraud log with filtering and search</li>
<li>Risk score column in the orders list</li>
<li>Per-order fraud details panel in the admin</li>
<li>Test mode with predefined IPs for safe testing</li>
<li>Log retention control</li>
</ul>
<h4>External service</h4>
<p>This plugin uses the ipgeolocation.io API to look up IP address data. When an order is placed, the customer’s IP address is sent to ipgeolocation.io servers to retrieve security information used for fraud scoring. No other personal data is transmitted.</p>
