FraudGuard – fraud prevention for WooCommerce

FraudGuard will prevent fake orders and blacklist fraud customers of your store.

Stop losing money to chargebacks and fraud! FraudGuard analyzes each order in real-time, checking for common fraud indicators such as high-risk countries, address mismatches, and suspicious ordering patterns.

Key Features

• Rule-Based Fraud Detection: Scans orders as they come in to identify potential fraud using customizable rules
• Risk Scoring System: Assigns risk scores to orders based on multiple fraud indicators
• Instant Admin Notifications: Receive immediate email alerts when suspicious orders are detected
• High-Risk Country Detection: Flag orders from countries known for high rates of fraud
• Address Verification: Identify mismatches between billing and shipping addresses
• Customizable Rules: Configure which fraud indicators to check for based on your business needs
• Order Status Control: Automatically hold suspicious orders for review
• HPOS Compatible: Works with both traditional and High-Performance Order Storage
• Detailed Fraud Reports: View which rules were triggered for each flagged order

How It Works
