Description

Create rules to flag or prevent known customers from placing orders on your store.

Fraud Filter can provide an additional layer of protection to help you fight fraud and avoid chargebacks. By using Fraud Filter's simple rule-based functionality you can easily set up warnings for suspicious orders, or block orders completely. When an order matches a filter you've created, Fraud Filter will flag it as suspicious to warn you or automatically cancel it for you, depending on what action you've chosen.

This app does not work. No matter which filter is added, the rules don't work as mentioned. Useless app.

Hi, this app is itself some kind of fraud. I have blocked fraud customers but everytime their order is processed and the app does nothing about it. Probably its created by some fraudster only to trouble the store owners. Please dont downlaod it if you dont want trouble.

So many things wrong with this app. Wish i saw the ratings earlier before downloading. 1. Rules you set in place does not work (customer name, email, phone number, street address, etc) customer is still able to purchase and order comes through fine. Order doesn't automatically cancel like it states it would. I saw a response saying when order is fulfilled the rule doesn't apply, yet the order the customer made wasn't fulfilled but it still went through 2. No customer support 3. Don't waste you time on this app. Find something else

I set up a rule for a specific customer that has made over 25 fraudulent purchases. Yes the app canceled the orders but did not block them from happening. I can not see where to contact customer support - very frustrating.

I had a rule setup on a customer who damages items to collect insurance claims and keeps the item and/or say the customers packages were open and items were removed repeatly - i contact Shopify and they told me to contact the developer so here i am... only to find out Shopify is the developer. what the heck. Edit: customer placed an order; made fake insurance claims. We place on auto cancel fraud list with app. 30 days later the same customer with same email places a new order that is not fulfilled. Contact Shopify and they tell me to contact the developer and then realize Shopify is the developer and here I am. Confused

The app completely ignored a particular rule that I had set up. Hence, a fraudolent customer was able to do a repurchase. Not happy about it.

The app don’t work. I have the address filled for the filter and the app doesn’t let me save. It kept asking me to put the info even though I’ve already filled the info I wanted to blacklist. 1/5 app.

I had a rule in place that it completely ignored. Lost a sale due to fraud! It cancelled one order and didn't even alert me or show an order where it ran. Terrible app. Why even offer it?

This app simply does not work and has created a very uncomfortable and dangerous situation for me. I have a disturbed customer who I've tried blocking several times using this app and it's failed every time. Do not download.

The filter DOES work, but you need to understand how to use it. I'll tell you how to set things up so it works 100% of the time. 1. The FIRST rule triggered is the ONLY rule processed. that means that if you have a rule for "flag all orders from Germany" and another rule for "Cancel Jane Doe from Germany" the First rule will trigger first and say "Warning, this order is from Germany". The rule for Jane Doe will never be triggered. 2. The rules are VERY SPECIFIC. If you want to flag Jane Doe who lives at 123 Main Street, you must do it in a specific manner: Billing Address 1 (CONTAINS) "Main" You're sorting and flagging any billing address that contains the word MAIN in it. Why? Because Jane doe could put in 123 Main St. and bypass the filter because it wasn't exactly 123 Main Street. 3. EVERY SINGLE ITEM MUST MATCH FOR THE RULE TO TRIGGER That means if your rule is matching Name, Address, and Phone ALL of them must be present and match exactly before the rule triggers. So you need to set up individual rules for each part of the fraudster. You need one rule that (CONTAINS) the Phone number eg. 5043684444 You need one rule that (CONTAINS) the first part of the email address eg. "Fraudster@" You need one rule for JUST the Billing address and Zip code. eg. Main and 70054 You need one rule for JUST the Shipping address and Zip code. eg. Main and 70054 And that's how it will work 100% every single time. If it's failing, you've not set it up properly. Picture of Rules: 1: https://i.imgur.com/JE6uOJ6.png 2: https://i.imgur.com/UuXCKCP.png 3: https://i.imgur.com/jJxcLaF.png I have 115 pages of them, and they work. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Now, on to my complaints: Shopify, you need to make it so I can sort by the Rule Name. OMG, please, make this happen. Also, WHY WHY WHY for the love of gawd, do I have to go through 125 pages before I can edit the last rule I created? And WHY do you refresh the screen back to page one after I save the changes? Did I hurt you? or are you just evil? :( :( I need to be able to specify a page of rules, and you need to stop sending me back to page one whenever I change a rule. Okay? thanks, love ya!
