WooCommerce Anti Fraud is an extension designed for online stores that need to protect their operations against credit card payment fraud and card testing bot attacks. This plugin analyzes each order in real time within WooCommerce and assigns a risk score that allows merchants to confidently decide whether to approve, review, or block a purchase before the payment is processed.
The tool is especially aimed at ecommerce with automatic payments, medium or high order volume, and an increasing risk of chargebacks and financial losses. Its scoring system evaluates multiple configurable rules, from verifying that the shipping address matches the billing address to advanced proxy detection. Each rule can be weighted according to the specific needs of the store, allowing the system's sensitivity to be adjusted granularly.
Among its most notable features is integration with MaxMind minFraud, a leading risk analysis service that provides fraud scores based on global data. The extension also includes IP velocity protection, which automatically detects and blocks bots attempting to test multiple card numbers in rapid succession. When a block is detected, the attacker's session is destroyed, the cart is emptied, and a customizable message is displayed.
The admin panel shows a color shield in the order view indicating the risk level: green for low risk, orange for medium risk, and red for high risk. Additionally, automatic decline thresholds, email notifications with the full analysis of each order, IP whitelists, and query caching to optimize MaxMind API consumption can be configured.
With more than a decade of experience in anti-fraud protection, this extension offers a robust, enterprise-level solution that helps reduce chargebacks, gateway fees, and reputational damage, allowing merchants to focus on growing their business with peace of mind.
