What gets scored
The plugin hooks woocommerce_checkout_order_processed and woocommerce_payment_complete. Each order is signed and POSTed to /v1/analyze with full customer, address, line-item, and payment context.
Order metadata
After scoring, the plugin stores three values as order meta:
_fraudshield_score— 0–100_fraudshield_risk_level— low / medium / high / critical_fraudshield_recommended_action— approve / review / hold / reject
These appear as a column on the orders list and a panel on the single-order screen.
Auto-hold
When Auto-hold critical is enabled, orders in the critical band are moved to on-hold status before payment captures. Combine with a no-capture-until-status payment gateway for hard prevention.
Updates
The plugin supports in-place WordPress updates from api.fraudcommandcenter.com. New releases appear in the WP admin update screen the same way as plugins from wordpress.org.
