Block Fraudulent Orders at Checkout

Q: How do I detect fraud on my e-commerce store?

Check the customer's email and IP at checkout. Fidro looks for disposable emails, VPNs and a mismatch between the IP's location and the billing country, then recommends allow, challenge or block so you can approve, review or decline the order automatically.

Q: What is geolocation fraud detection?

Comparing where a customer's IP really is with where they say they are. An IP on another continent from the billing address is a much stronger warning sign than one next door, which is why Fidro grades the mismatch by distance.

Q: Does Fidro work with Shopify or WooCommerce?

Fidro is a REST API, so it works anywhere you can make an HTTP request from the server: a Shopify app, a WooCommerce hook, or your own checkout.

Q: How fast is Fidro's fraud detection?

Under 200 milliseconds on average, fast enough to check every order at checkout without your customers noticing.

A fraudulent order costs you the product, the payment and a chargeback fee. Fidro checks the customer's email and IP at checkout, compares the IP with the country they gave you, and answers allow, challenge or block in under 200ms on average.

What is Fidro?

Fidro is a fraud detection API for developers. One call checks the email, the IP and the network, remembers what it has seen before, and tells your code to allow, challenge or block, so you stop fake signups and stolen cards without building your own scoring. The free plan covers 200 validations a month, no credit card.

The problem

E-commerce fraud ends in chargebacks, lost stock and a strained relationship with your payment processor. Reviewing every order by hand doesn't scale, and turning away real customers by mistake costs sales.

How Fidro fixes it

Call Fidro at checkout with event: checkout. It looks for disposable emails, VPNs and proxies, compares the IP's location with the country you send, and returns a risk score your checkout can act on straight away.
