IronPhantom Antifraud brings AI-assisted fraud monitoring and bot defense to WooCommerce.
The plugin works in a non-intrusive way by analyzing checkout, order, login, behavioral, and technical risk signals in real time. It helps identify risky behavior, compromised account indicators, suspicious IP patterns, automated activity, and session anomalies before they become a serious operational problem.
IronPhantom is designed for merchants who want more visibility, more control, and less noise.
<h3>Automated Provisioning</h3>
IronPhantom is built for fast activation.
After the merchant accepts the Privacy Policy and enables the service, the plugin can automatically generate a unique API Key linked to the store domain and connect the WooCommerce installation to the MGFirewallAI SaaS environment.
No risk analysis data is sent to MGFirewallAI until the merchant accepts the Privacy Policy and activates the service.
<h3>Smart Correlation Engine</h3>
Traditional fraud tools often generate too much noise.
IronPhantom focuses on correlated risk signals instead of isolated events. The dashboard is designed to highlight the most relevant suspicious transactions, where multiple indicators suggest a concrete risk.
Examples of correlated signals may include:
<ul>
<li>Anonymous or high-risk IP address</li>
<li>Email address associated with previous data breaches</li>
<li>Password exposure indicator using privacy-preserving checks where applicable</li>
<li>Repeated checkout attempts</li>
<li>Suspicious user-agent or device behavior</li>
<li>Behavioral patterns compatible with automation</li>
<li>Unusual order or session activity</li>
<li>Technical signals related to suspicious sessions or checkout abuse</li>
</ul>
This helps merchants focus on the cases that actually require attention.
<h3>Decision Support, Not Automatic Checkout Blocking</h3>
IronPhantom is designed to support merchant decisions, not replace them blindly.
By default, the plugin does not automatically block the WooCommerce checkout. This reduces the risk of false positives damaging legitimate sales.
IronPhantom is intended to support the merchant before order fulfillment and shipping. When a suspicious transaction is detected, the plugin provides risk context and supporting signals so the merchant can make a more informed decision before dispatching the product.
IronPhantom does not automatically block payments, cancel orders, refund orders, or stop shipments. Any decision to approve, review, verify, hold, cancel, refund, or ship an order remains under the merchant’s control and responsibility.
Instead, IronPhantom provides clear risk signals, context, and decision-support information so the merchant can decide whether to approve, review, verify, hold, refund, cancel, or ship an order.
Advanced mitigation features may be available in future paid or Pro plans, depending on the configuration enabled by the merchant.
<h3>Merchant Decision Responsibility</h3>
IronPhantom provides risk intelligence, alerts, and decision-support information.
The plugin does not make final business decisions on behalf of the merchant. Decisions such as approving, holding, verifying, refunding, cancelling, or shipping an order remain entirely under the merchant’s control and responsibility.
Risk scores, alerts, provider responses, and behavioral signals are intended to support review workflows and should not be considered a guarantee that an order is fraudulent or safe.
<h3>Behavioral AI Sensor</h3>
IronPhantom includes an optional behavioral sensor that can monitor interaction patterns such as mouse movement, scroll behavior, click timing, session duration, and technical browser signals.
The sensor is designed to help detect patterns compatible with:
<ul>
<li>Bot activity</li>
<li>Card testing attempts</li>
<li>Credential stuffing</li>
<li>Automated checkout abuse</li>
<li>Suspicious session behavior</li>
<li>Abnormal interaction patterns</li>
</ul>
The Behavioral AI Sensor is disabled by default and can be enabled manually from the IronPhantom dashboard after the merchant has reviewed the privacy information and service settings.
The sensor is designed to analyze behavioral and technical patterns. It is not intended to record payment card numbers, CVV codes, plain-text passwords, or the content of private form fields.
In the current testing phase, the sensor may operate in monitoring mode. Advanced mitigation and active response features may be introduced in future paid or Pro plans.
<h3>Identity Verification Workflow</h3>
For high-risk cases or high-value orders, IronPhantom can support an identity verification workflow through Didit.
Identity verification is handled externally by Didit. IronPhantom does not process or store identity documents, facial recognition data, biometric data, or government document images.
IronPhantom receives only the limited verification result/status required to support the merchant’s risk decision.
Identity verification features may be limited, disabled, or reserved for future paid or Pro plans depending on the current service configuration.
<h3>Testing Phase</h3>
IronPhantom is currently available for testing and evaluation.
During this phase, merchants may be able to test the plugin and its connected MGFirewallAI risk intelligence features without payment.
Future paid plans may introduce additional features, extended limits, advanced mitigation, identity verification workflows, and enhanced dashboard capabilities.

<h3>Privacy & Data Security</h3>
IronPhantom follows a Privacy by Design approach.
The system is designed to process only the data required for fraud prevention, bot detection, security monitoring, and risk intelligence.
No risk analysis data is sent to MGFirewallAI until the merchant accepts the Privacy Policy and activates the service.
The Behavioral AI Sensor is disabled by default and must be enabled manually by the merchant from the dashboard.
<h3>Data Used for Risk Analysis</h3>
Depending on the plugin configuration and WooCommerce event, IronPhantom may process limited technical, behavioral, and transactional metadata such as:
<ul>
<li>Order ID or transaction reference</li>
<li>Store domain or merchant identifier</li>
<li>Email address or pseudonymized identifier where applicable</li>
<li>IP address</li>
<li>Order amount</li>
<li>Timestamp</li>
<li>Browser and user-agent information</li>
<li>Session and technical metadata</li>
<li>Behavioral sensor signals, if enabled</li>
<li>Risk-related status returned by external providers</li>
</ul>
<h3>Behavioral Sensor Data</h3>
If enabled by the merchant, the Behavioral AI Sensor may process interaction and technical signals such as:
<ul>
<li>Mouse movement patterns</li>
<li>Scroll behavior</li>
<li>Click timing</li>
<li>Session duration</li>
<li>Browser and user-agent signals</li>
<li>Technical indicators related to automation or abnormal sessions</li>
</ul>
The sensor is intended to analyze behavioral patterns and technical signals. It is not intended to record payment card numbers, CVV codes, plain-text passwords, or the content of private form fields.
<h3>Payment Data</h3>
IronPhantom does not process, collect, transmit, or store:
<ul>
<li>Full payment card numbers</li>
<li>CVV codes</li>
<li>Full payment credentials</li>
<li>Plain-text passwords</li>
<li>Banking credentials</li>
</ul>
Payment processing remains handled by the store’s payment gateway or WooCommerce payment provider.
<h3>Didit Identity Verification</h3>
For high-risk cases or high-value orders, IronPhantom can support an identity verification workflow through Didit, where available.
Identity verification is handled externally by Didit.
During the 14-day trial period, the “Verify User” button and the identity verification workflow through Didit are disabled for security and abuse prevention purposes.
Identity verification is reserved for full Pro subscriptions or specifically approved configurations.
IronPhantom does not store:
<ul>
<li>Identity document images</li>
<li>Facial recognition data</li>
<li>Biometric data</li>
<li>Government ID files</li>
<li>Liveness check media</li>
</ul>
IronPhantom receives only the limited verification result/status needed to support the merchant’s fraud review process.
<h3>External Intelligence Providers</h3>
IronPhantom may use external providers such as:
<ul>
<li>FraudLabs Pro</li>
<li>ProxyCheck</li>
<li>Have I Been Pwned</li>
<li>Didit</li>
</ul>
These integrations are used only for security, fraud prevention, identity verification, and risk validation purposes, as described in the Privacy Policy.
Availability of specific integrations may depend on the current configuration, testing phase, or future paid service plan.
<h3>WordPress Database Impact</h3>
IronPhantom is designed as a SaaS-based solution. Heavy analysis is handled outside the WordPress installation, helping keep the local WordPress environment lighter and focused on essential plugin settings, status information, and relevant risk summaries.

AI-assisted fraud monitoring and bot defense for WooCommerce, powered by MGFirewallAI risk intelligence.

Stop card-testing fraud, fake orders, and checkout bots at your WooCommerce store.
Is your store getting waves of failed orders, $1 stolen-card charges, and surprise payment-processor fees? That’s a card-testing bot attack — and Velocity Guard stops it automatically.
What is card-testing? Criminals buy lists of stolen card numbers and need to find which ones still work. They do it by running hundreds of small orders through real checkouts like yours. Every attempt can cost you a processing fee, and a flood of declines can get your Stripe or PayPal account flagged or frozen. It’s automated — it can hammer your store overnight while you sleep.
What Velocity Guard does: It watches how fast orders arrive from the same shopper, email, or device. A real customer places one order; an attack tool tries dozens in minutes. When Velocity Guard sees that burst, it quietly turns away the extra attempts before they reach your payment processor — the attacker gets nothing and you don’t get billed. Genuine shoppers never notice; the limits sit well above normal buying behavior.
Set it and forget it. Install, activate, done. The defaults are tuned to be invisible to real customers, and it runs entirely on your own site with no account to create.
Under the hood, Velocity Guard tracks how many checkout attempts come from each identity (IP address, email address, session, or combination) inside a sliding time window. Once an identity crosses the configured threshold, further attempts are rejected before WooCommerce ever processes the order — including direct hits to the REST API that skip your normal checkout page. Repeated failed payments auto-blocklist the source for hours.
<h4>Free version features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Sliding-window velocity rules per IP, email, session, or IP+email combination</li>
<li>Failed-payment auto-blocklist — configurable threshold and lockout duration</li>
<li>REST API endpoint coverage — protects <code>/wc/v3/orders</code>, <code>/wc/store/v1/checkout</code>, and <code>/wc/store/checkout</code> (the routes modern card-testing bots target directly)</li>
<li>Proxy-aware IP detection — Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, with explicit admin opt-in to prevent header spoofing on sites with no upstream proxy</li>
<li>Dashboard widget — blocked-attempt counts (24h / 7d / 30d) at a glance</li>
<li>Event log — every block decision with rule, source IP, and detail</li>
<li>Manual IP whitelist — exempt staff workstations and test cards (IPv4 + IPv6, validated)</li>
<li>HPOS-native — built on WooCommerce’s High-Performance Order Storage from day one</li>
<li>Compatible with classic checkout and Cart/Checkout block</li>
</ul>
<h4>Velocity Guard Pro</h4>
Pro upgrades available via the in-plugin Upgrade screen:
<ul>
<li>Behavioural device fingerprinting — canvas + audio + envelope fingerprint, cookie-stored. Catches attackers rotating IPs but keeping the same browser. The IP rule alone misses this; fingerprint does not.</li>
<li>Slack / Discord / email alerts — fires when blocks-per-window crosses your threshold. Per-channel rate limiting so a sustained attack doesn’t spam your inbox.</li>
<li>Pattern library feed — rule packs sourced from active vulnerability research, applied before velocity counters. Catches obvious bot user agents (curl, headless browsers, scraping frameworks) on the first request.</li>
<li>14-day free trial, no credit card required.</li>
</ul>
