FraudLabs Pro plugin<\/a> allows users to decide if to carry out the fraud validation before<\/strong> or after<\/strong> the payment process in WooCommerce by configuring the Validation Trigger Point<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we provide you the flexibility, the decision has to be carefully assessed as there are pros and cons to each approach. It’s because this will affect the payment process in the WooCommerce<\/strong> platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that for either the before <\/strong>or after<\/strong> option, it won’t affect the way of how the users making the purchases. It only affects internally of how the order should be processed after users click on the Checkout<\/strong> button, whether it should go through the fraud validation first or it should rather wait until the payment being processed by the payment gateway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Choose The Validation Trigger Point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1st Option: Before Submit Order To Payment Gateway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    As the option indicated, the system will carry out the fraud checking before an order is sent to the payment gateway for processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you enable this option, FraudLabs Pro will check the order before<\/strong> it’s sent to the payment gateway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
