Working with Fraud Risk Scores

A Fraud Detection extension checks all orders which come to your store, and rates them according to the Risk Score multi-factor check that is defined by indicators and rules.

It will be shown at the Sales -> Orders grid as a colored mark in the Fraud Score column, with a corresponding numerical rate value.

The color of the mark corresponds with three possible Fraud Risk levels:

• Green - Accept level, which marks orders as safe to complete. By default, it corresponds to a score from 0 to 20.
• Yellow - Review level, which warns you about inconsistencies found in order's properties. By default, it corresponds to a score from 30 to 80.
• Red - is the highest level Reject, equals to 80 - 100 points, and marks the order as dangerous.

The minimum possible score is 0 (all indicators and rules are passed) - not fraud. The maximum score is 100 - fraud (e. q. all checks failed).

This numerical value is calculated from a set of built-in indicators, which are summed and compared to the level definition. You can adjust level bounds, if you need.

Each indicator is a separate check, and the result of them are shown on respective tab, added to the Order Edit page:
