Create fraud detection automation flows for my Shopify store:

Risk Indicators to Check:


  High-risk signals:
    
      Billing and shipping address mismatch
      Multiple failed payment attempts before success
      Order value significantly above store average (3x+)
      Multiple orders from same IP in short time
      Shipping to freight forwarder address
    
  
  Medium-risk signals:
    
      New customer + high-value order
      Different billing name vs account name
      Express shipping on first order
      International order to high-fraud country
    
  


Automated Actions by Risk Level:

High Risk (2+ high-risk signals):

  Tag order “fraud-review-required”
  Hold order (don’t auto-fulfill)
  Send Slack/email notification to team
  Add internal note with risk reasons


Medium Risk (1 high-risk or 2+ medium):

  Tag order “manual-review”
  Send email notification to store owner
  Add internal note


Low Risk (no signals):

  Process normally
  Auto-fulfill if applicable


Shopify Flow Workflows:
Create 3 separate flows:

  Payment risk assessment (trigger: order created)
  Address verification check (trigger: order created)
  Velocity check — multiple orders detection (trigger: order created)


Provide exact Flow configurations with triggers, conditions, and actions.

Expected Output

Build automated fraud detection workflows that flag suspicious orders, notify staff, and hold high-risk orders for manual review.
