About this plugin
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.
The check runs after order creation so it has no impact on checkout speed or customer experience.
How it works
io Security API and evaluates the response against the fraud signals you have enabled. The score is calculated as:
(sum of triggered signal weights) / (sum of enabled signal weights) x 100
This keeps scoring consistent regardless of how many signals you have turned on.
