After you have successfully installed and activated the FraudLabs Pro plugin for WooCommerce, you may want to test if your installation was successful. If you have not yet installed the plugin, please refer to our guide: How to Install FraudLabs Pro on WooCommerce.
In the below section, we will show you how to test the FraudLabs Pro for WooCommerce plugin on your WooCommerce store.
Step 1: Set up the payment method
- Go to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Payment page.
- Select Take offline payments.
- Enable the Cash on delivery and then click on Manage.
- Configure the settings by enabling the cash on delivery and click on Save changes button.
Step 2: Perform a Test Transaction
- Purchase a product by adding it to cart and checkout from product page.
- In Checkout page, please enter a different country for the Billing and Shipping address, so that this will trigger the REVIEW action as pre-configured in our default validation rules.
- Then, select Cash on Delivery as the Payment Method and complete the checkout process.
Step 3: Review the Fraud Check Results
- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
- Go to WooCommerce > Orders to view the list of recent orders. In this example, the status of order had been set as “On hold” due to the REVIEW action.
You may also view the summary of validation result on the WooCommerce Order details page.
If you would like to view the complete validation results, you may login into the FraudLabs Pro merchant area. It shows the transaction is in Manual Review in this example.
Step 4: Configure the Validation Rules
The above testing demonstrates how to flag an order for REVIEW. By default, we have pre-configured 5 essential fraud validation rules to help you get started immediately. These rules are designed to detect common fraud patterns, such as anonymous IP, blacklisted IP, blacklist email and more.
You may change the validation rules at the merchant area to suit your business needs. For example, you may create a velocity rule that if a customer purchased twice a day, flag the user for review. We have more than 50 validation rules available and the list is growing.
To understand how rules are processed, refer to this article:
