Block mode
Halt checkout immediately when an identifier matches. Matching shoppers see a clear merchant notice and cannot complete the order.
WooCommerce order protection plugin
Veridis Fraud Guard Free protects WooCommerce merchants from repeat problematic orders, uncollected Cash on Delivery parcels, and abusive checkouts using fast, local blocklist matching.
Why Fraud Guard
Refused Cash on Delivery (COD) packages and repeat abusive orders cost merchants real money in courier delivery fees, return shipping, restocking time, and tied-up inventory.
Merchants already know who their problem shoppers are: past non-paying buyers, chronic package refusers, and abusive checkout attempts. Fraud Guard puts that knowledge to work directly at checkout with local, instant blocklist evaluation.
No cloud accounts, no third-party data tracking, and no external scoring latency. Protection happens entirely within your WordPress database.
Protection modes
Choose how your checkout responds when an order matches an entry on your blocklist. Configure store-wide protection that matches your operational workflow.
Blocklist identifiers
Every checkout evaluation checks customer-submitted identifiers against normalized blocklist records. Rules can be toggled active or inactive at any time without deleting history.
Match customer billing emails with case-insensitive normalization to stop known abusive accounts.
Evaluate customer contact numbers with automatic punctuation and whitespace stripping to catch variants.
Block checkout attempts originating from specific client IP addresses involved in repeated abusive activity.
Restrict entire domain names to prevent orders from temporary, disposable, or invalid email providers.
Operational visibility
Never wonder why an order was blocked or flagged. Fraud Guard logs every match with the exact identifier, matched rule, and applied mode, giving store managers complete operational confidence.
Monitor your store's active protection mode, total blocklist entries, and 30-day activity statistics directly from WooCommerce admin.
Review the exact identifier, matched rule, applied mode, and order ID for every event, backed by automatic 90-day retention cleanup.
Migrate existing problem customer lists with CSV preview, duplicate handling, and instant validation, or export records at any time.
Native WooCommerce integration
Fraud Guard integrates directly with native WooCommerce hooks, HPOS order tables, and order action boxes. No third-party servers, no complex webhooks, and no external network calls.
Seamlessly supports both native WooCommerce shortcode checkouts and modern block-based Checkout Blocks.
Declared compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) in authoritative and sync modes for high-volume stores.
Block customer email, phone, or IP directly from the WooCommerce order screen with a single action.
All rules and logs reside in your own MySQL database. Zero external API calls, zero cloud dependencies, and zero checkout latency.
