    The minFraud service reduces chargebacks by identifying risky orders to be held for further review. The minFraud service is used to identify fraud in online e-commerce transactions.

    The riskScore, returned by the minFraud service, represents the likelihood that a given transaction is fraudulent. Merchants use the riskScore to determine whether to accept, reject, manually review, or submit transactions to complementary services for further screening.

    The riskScore is given as a percentage, and as such it ranges from 0.01 to 100.00. For example, an order with a riskScore of 20.00 has a 20% chance of being fraudulent, while an order with a riskScore of 0.10 has a 0.1% chance of being fraudulent.

    The riskScore is based on a statistical analysis of the following: reputations and real-time monitoring (IP addresses, Devices, Email addresses), Geolocation checks, Proxy detection, Bank Identification Number checks, The minFraud Network.

    There is no single recommended set of riskScore values to use for deciding whether to accept, reject, manually review, or submit transactions to complementary services for analysis. In determining what thresholds to set, you should consider the costs of chargebacks and lost goods, the cost of manual review, the cost of complementary services, and the cost of potentially rejecting good orders

    A recommended strategy is to at first only automatically accept orders under a low riskScore (e.g., 3.00), only automatically reject orders above a high riskScore (e.g., 70.00), and manually review all other transactions. After monitoring the riskScores received for the manually reviewed transactions, you can adjust the thresholds appropriately to reduce the amount of manual review required.

    Below is the distribution of riskScores returned by the minFraud service across all users. You can use this data to estimate the number of orders that will be approved, rejected, or held back for review given the thresholds you set. Please note that the distribution of riskScores you observe may differ.

riskScore range Percent of orders in range
0.10 - 4.99 90%
5.00 - 9.99 5%
10.00 - 29.99 3%
30.00 - 99.99 2%

Email address for notifications. Comma-separated.

Customize email subject.

Email will contain simple information as in example below, and can be extended with additional info if you consider it necessary. {{ORDERNUMBER}} will be replaced with the real order number.

For debug only, this IP will overwrite the order IP address. Leave this field blank when you are using the module on a live store. If you are testing on a local installation or in an environment using a private IP, make sure to enable this option and add here a Public IP address in order to be able to use MaxMind Services on local environments.

Add IP's separated by comma - Orders placed from this IP's will not be checked for possible fraud.

Minimum amount for order to be checked for possible fraud.
