FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the fraud prevention extension work?

The extension evaluates each order using MaxMind's real-time fraud analysis services. It generates a risk score based on multiple factors including IP address reputation, geolocation mismatch, email risk, transaction patterns, and device fingerprinting. You can then set thresholds to automatically hold, flag, or reject high-risk orders.

What is MaxMind's minFraud service?

MaxMind is an industry-leading provider of IP intelligence and online fraud detection. Their minFraud service analyzes hundreds of risk signals in real-time to score each transaction. The extension integrates three service tiers: Score (basic risk scoring), Insights (detailed risk analysis), and Factors (comprehensive fraud intelligence).

What is the difference between Score, Insights, and Factors?

Score provides a numeric risk score (0–100) for quick fraud assessment. Insights adds detailed risk breakdown by factor (IP risk, email risk, billing/shipping mismatch, etc.). Factors provides the most comprehensive analysis with individual risk multipliers for every signal. Choose the tier that matches your fraud prevention needs and budget.

Can I automatically block high-risk orders?

Yes. You configure risk score thresholds for different actions: orders above a certain score can be automatically held for manual review, flagged with a warning, or rejected entirely. This lets you automate fraud prevention for clearly fraudulent orders while manually reviewing borderline cases.

Does this slow down the checkout process?

The fraud check runs in real-time during order placement and typically completes in under a second. MaxMind's infrastructure is designed for high-volume, low-latency fraud scoring. Customers experience no noticeable delay during checkout while you get comprehensive fraud protection.

What risk factors does the extension check?

The analysis evaluates IP address location vs billing/shipping address, known proxy/VPN usage, email address risk (disposable, recently created), device fingerprinting, transaction velocity, billing/shipping address mismatch, and historical fraud patterns. These signals combine into a comprehensive risk assessment.

Does it work for international orders?

Yes. MaxMind's database covers IP addresses worldwide, making the extension equally effective for domestic and international orders. IP geolocation matching is particularly valuable for international transactions where billing/shipping address mismatches are more common and fraudulent.

Do I need a MaxMind account?

Yes. You need a MaxMind account to use the minFraud API services. The extension connects to MaxMind's API using your account credentials. MaxMind offers different pricing tiers based on query volume and service level (Score, Insights, or Factors) to match your store's needs.
