    Protect your WooCommerce store from fraudulent transactions with the latest update—WooCommerce Fraud Prevention 2.3.0!

    The latest update to our Fraud Prevention for WooCommerce Plugin, version 2.3.0, is here! This release introduces powerful new features to help you with AI Fraud Detection, designed to automatically detect and block suspicious orders using artificial intelligence.

    Fraudulent orders are one of the most frustrating problems WooCommerce store owners face today.

    Chargebacks, fake accounts, and stolen card transactions can silently drain your profits — and by the time you notice, the damage is already done.

    That’s why we built something smarter.


    Why AI Fraud Detection matters

    Traditional fraud prevention relies on static rules — like blocking certain countries, emails, or payment gateways. While that helps, it’s no longer enough.

    Today, scammers use VPNs, fake IPs, and generated identities that easily bypass manual filters.

    AI Fraud Detection takes a smarter approach.
    It uses machine learning models from Google or OpenAI to evaluate every incoming order in real time. The AI engine assigns a Fraud Risk Score (0–100), and if it crosses your set threshold, the order gets blocked automatically.

    No more guesswork. No more manual reviews. Just intelligent protection.


    How it works

    Here’s what happens behind the scenes when a customer places an order:

    1. The plugin sends order data (like IP address, email, payment type) to your selected AI provider — Google or OpenAI.
    2. The AI engine analyzes the data and returns a Risk Score.
    3. You’ve already set your AI Threshold to Block — for example, 70.
    4. If the score is above 70, the plugin automatically blocks the order.
    5. The admin dashboard displays the AI Decision, Risk Factor, and Triggered Rules for every order.

    All this happens instantly — without slowing down checkout or needing manual input.


    Key settings that make it powerful

    Inside the AI Fraud Detection module, you’ll find simple options that give you full control over the detection process:

    It’s built for both store owners and developers — with configuration taking less than five minutes.


    Real-world example

    Let’s say you’re running a WooCommerce electronics store.
    You receive an order from a new customer in another country using a prepaid card.

    • The AI engine evaluates: IP location mismatch, unknown device, new account, and unverified payment source.
    • Risk Score: 82% (High)
    • Your threshold: 70%
      Result → Order automatically blocked before payment completion.

    Now imagine that happens just 5 times a month — you could be saving hundreds in lost goods and chargeback fees.

    Every order gets its own AI Fraud Report, visible inside the admin panel.

    You can see:

    • AI Risk Score (%)
    • AI Decision (Allow / Block)
    • Triggered Rules (e.g., IP, Email, Payment Method)

    This transparency helps you track and fine-tune your fraud strategy over time.
