Overview
Squirrelcart integrates with some popular fraud detection and geolocation APIs, which can be used to help prevent fraudulent orders and to give you a better idea of where the customer is in the world based on their IP address.
Geolocation by IP address is not perfect. It will give you an approximate location of the user. That location can sometimes be inaccurate. Assessing orders to determine if they are fraudulent is up to you. While these tools can help, there is no guarantee they will help you to reduce all of your fraudulent orders. |

How it works
At the time of order completion Squirrelcart will send a request behind the scenes to the API that you have enabled. Information received in that response is included in your order notification emails, and is also visible when viewing orders in edit mode in the control panel.
The information shown will vary depending on the API that you've enabled. Here is an example of the results returned by MinFraud:
