Quick Start Guide

Start detecting fraudulent orders with FraudLabs Pro

Connect your store or application, configure fraud rules, whitelist trusted customers and test your setup before going live.

Getting started

Fraud prevention setup made simple

FraudLabs Pro screens online transactions and returns fraud signals that help you approve, review or reject suspicious orders.

01

Integrate your store or application

Before getting started, you will need a FraudLabs Pro API key to perform fraud validation.

Create an account to start screening transactions.

Sign Up for Free →

Use a supported e-commerce plugin or connect directly through the REST API. Your integration sends transaction data to FraudLabs Pro for fraud screening.

02

Configure your fraud rules

Start with the default validation rules, then adjust them to match your order value, customer profile and risk tolerance. Each rule can help identify a specific fraud signal and route suspicious transactions for Review or Reject.

FraudLabs Pro automatically assigns you 5 default validation rules during sign-up to start your protection seamlessly.

  • Reject if the email address was found in the blacklisted record.
  • Reject if the visitor IP address was found in the blacklisted record.
  • Review if the visitor's IP is utilizing an anonymous proxy.
  • Review if the billing country does not match the shipping country.
  • Review if the assigned fraud score is greater than 70.

You can easily customize these rules to align with your specific business needs.

03

Whitelist trusted customers

Add verified, legitimate clients to your whitelist to streamline order processing. Sometimes, legitimate customers may be mistakenly flagged (e.g., using a VPN). If their emails are not whitelisted, transactions could be marked as high-risk, resulting in Review or Reject status.

Regularly audit your whitelist entries to maintain optimal security while reinforcing strong relationships with your most valued customers.

How to Manage Whitelist:

  1. Go to Whitelist Management page.
  2. Add or import the email addresses of legitimate customers into the whitelist.
04

Test before going live

Run a few controlled test orders before rollout. Confirm that FraudLabs Pro returns the expected status and that your checkout responds correctly to each result.

Below are the test case to simulate the REVIEW and REJECTED return if you are using our default validation rules.

If you're unsure how to test your fraud validation rules and transactions, you can try them safely in Sandbox Mode. This feature is available for paid users only and can be enabled from the License page.
