E-commerce Fraud Detection

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

Fidro validates the customer's email and IP at checkout, checking for disposable emails, VPN usage, and geographic mismatches between IP location and billing address. A risk score helps you automatically approve, flag, or decline suspicious orders.

Q: What is geolocation fraud detection?

Geolocation fraud detection compares the customer's IP address location with their stated billing and shipping addresses. Large mismatches — like an IP in Nigeria with a US billing address — are strong fraud indicators. Fidro provides this analysis automatically.
