Set Up Fraud Prevention Rules

Set up comprehensive fraud prevention rules for my Shopify store:

Store Context:

  Store niche: [YOUR STORE NICHE, e.g., electronics, fashion, supplements]
  Average order value: [YOUR AOV, e.g., $85]
  Primary shipping regions: [YOUR REGIONS, e.g., US, Canada, EU]
  Monthly order volume: [YOUR VOLUME, e.g., 500 orders/month]


Risk Signals to Configure:

  Billing and shipping address mismatch detection
  Multiple failed payment attempts from the same session
  Orders with unusually high quantities or dollar amounts
  First-time customers placing orders above [THRESHOLD AMOUNT, e.g., $300]
  Orders from high-risk countries or regions not in your usual market
  Multiple orders from the same IP address in a short time window
  Use of disposable or temporary email addresses
  Mismatched IP geolocation vs billing country


Automated Actions:

  Define which risk signals should auto-cancel the order
  Define which risk signals should flag the order for manual review
  Set up email notifications to [ADMIN EMAIL] when flagged orders appear
  Create a standard operating procedure for reviewing flagged orders


Shopify Fraud Analysis Integration:

  Review how Shopify built-in fraud analysis scores orders
  Recommend third-party fraud prevention apps if needed: [BUDGET FOR APPS, e.g., $30/month]
  Configure chargeback prevention measures


Reporting:

  Set up a weekly fraud summary report
  Track false positive rate to avoid blocking legitimate customers
  Monitor chargeback ratio and keep it below industry thresholds
