FraudLabs Pro for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

34 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 13 listed. 21 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 13 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 80% of the way through.

   If it’s set to intervene before payment, it can submit transactions for $0 and the order will go through and look just like any other order. I shipped 4 orders totaling ~$900 without payment. I was able to recover about $500 from honest customers but I’m out the other $400. WooCommerce tech support confirmed this behavior and there’s nothing you can do except go back to your customers and ask for payment. I had it set to block before payment because I had someone running stolen cc’s every few minutes to see if one would hit. The genuine transactions that were submitted for $0 were marked as low risk by FraudLabs and didn’t require manual approval. It seems it’s just a bug with the interaction with WooPayments. I disabled it a few weeks ago and I haven’t had a problem since.

   I live in Australia and have a worldwide customer base purchasing digital goods so I cannot simply restrict to a certain geo location. The spam orders I get are always so easy to tell, they have random IPs and random emails but always go for the same product and always enter an Australian address tho it appears random addresses. The rules that I am allowed to use for free sometimes pick a fraud checkout, sometimes don’t and is very hit and miss and while I don’t have 500 orders a month from real customers, I note this plugin counts every fraud attempt as an “order” and since these come through every 12 minutes this will exhaust the allowed count very quickly. Just in a few hours of testing it has not really helped to stop anything. I still have to clear my failed orders and delete the created accounts on checkout just as I have done so it is really not doing much for me at all TBH. Ideally I would like a rule to detect if a users IP is not located in the range of the listed address but this is an option for paid account only. The basic account is $30 a month USD which in AUD is $45 a month which is just a cost difficult to swallow for a very small business that is already struggling to keep things running. Sadly I think I will have to just manage this another way.

   and really helps stop fraudulent PayPal card testing attempts. If you’re dealing with fake or risky orders, this is definitely worth using. The pricing is flexible based on usage, and the Free Plan is more than enough for many small to medium shops.”

   We offer paypal and stripe methods on our website and fraudlabs pro has been doing it’s job in flagging, based on our rules, orders we want to check before proceeding. The SMS extension of fraudlabs pro is pretty clunky and has confused our customers so we’ve turned that off, but fraudlabs pro is solid and the plugin seems to be getting better over time too.

   Easy to implement for a beginner with flexible options for advances users. Free version to start, with plenty of extras, making it a truly scalable solution. Support has been amazing. Some of our queries resulted in new features and plugin versions for the benefit of all users. The plugin has been reliable and stable in the past 4 years. Users need to remember that any anti-fraud system is only as good as the rules created by the user. Raw data is collected and presented in a user-friendly format, but the final decision when to release the order always rests with the user, even if that decision is to automatically release orders that pass all the tests.

   I’ve only had it installed for 3 weeks, but far as I can tell, it’s working beautifully and doing exactly what I need from it. It takes a lot of the legwork out of identifying fraudulent transactions by providing me with details on every order all in one neat report, but the assigned score for each transaction is an amazing, at-a-glance way to identify whether a customer is even slightly suspicious. So far, it’s been very accurate and I’m really glad I found it. I would definitely recommend it.
