When does the Maxmind query execute? Is it when you click the Confirm Order button on the Checkout page (ie. before posting the contents of the Checkout page to the payment gateway) or is it after the transaction has been authorised?
If it's the latter, then a fraudulent transaction may already have been made, so what do you do next? Follow up by trying to contact the customer and/or manually refund the payment?
Hope to hear from anyone who has first-hand experience.

Thanks for your reply.labeshops wrote:I tried it for a while but found it didn't tell me anything I couldn't otherwise see easily. It checks new orders as they come in so will ignore existing ones.
One thing I was not clear on: if the Maxmind score is above the threshold you set, does it prevent the transaction?
Our real concern is to prevent fraudulent transactions from being processed, not to find out about them after the event.
Thank you again.

To prevent orders completely based on fraud information, you'd need to have some customize the MaxMind code in OpenCart. They'd need to move the check to before the order is confirmed, and then deny the order based on that information.
If you need to find a developer, you should post a request in the OpenCart "Commercial Support" forum, which is checked by a number of OpenCart developers. You can also try checking out the OpenCart "Partners" area.
Thanks for the recommendation - can the FraudLabs Pro extension be configured so that it blocks a transaction that is above your minimum fraud score threshold?web-project wrote:Highly recommend to use the fraudlabspro.com

Point taken, but in the case of this particular site, it's more important for the owner to maintain a good relationship with the acquiring bank than to worry about missing a handful of legitimate orders.Johnathan wrote:Preventing orders can be dangerous because you could be preventing a lot of valid orders.
