IPGeolocation

<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>

<h4>Risk tiers</h4>
