Security for WooCommerce: Prevent Fraud from Hidden Locations
Merchants worldwide face significant losses due to fraudsters who use VPNs and proxies to hide their true identities and locations. Security for WooCommerce is designed to combat this issue by helping merchants identify and prevent fraudulent transactions. The plugin allows you to block purchases from countries you don’t sell to and detect buyers attempting to mask their locations with VPNs or proxies. By stopping these high-risk transactions, you can protect your business, reduce fraud, and ensure smoother, more secure operations.
Key Features
Restrict Sales to a Single Country
If your business operates domestically, you can limit sales to a single country to focus on your target market and block unwanted traffic from other regions.
Allow or Block Customers from Multiple Countries
For international businesses, Security for WooCommerce enables you to approve transactions from specific countries while blocking orders from regions you don’t serve.
Manually Allow or Block Individual IP Addresses
With Security for WooCommerce, you can manually manage IP access by allowing or blocking specific IP addresses. If you identify a problematic or potentially fraudulent customer, simply add their IP to the Blacklisted IP List to prevent further activity.
Additionally, you can grant access to trusted users, such as virtual assistants or administrators located in blocked countries, by adding their IP addresses to the Whitelisted IP List. This ensures seamless collaboration while maintaining robust security controls.
