Flag suspicious WooCommerce orders and alert your team in Slack

Every new order is checked for fraud signals and a Slack alert is sent when the risk score is high.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each new order.

The problem it solves

Fraudulent orders slip through when no one has time to check every address, email, and order value by hand. By the time you notice a mismatched shipping address or a suspiciously large order, the product may already be shipped.

Who it fits

Online store owners and operations teams running a WooCommerce shop.

How it works

  1. New WooCommerce orders are checked on a schedule
  2. Each order is screened for address mismatches, high value, and suspicious emails
  3. A fraud score is calculated from the combined signals
  4. Orders above the risk threshold trigger a Slack alert with the order details
What you get

Suspicious orders flagged before they ship

Your team gets a Slack alert the moment an order shows signs of fraud.

What you get

A Slack alert with order and risk details for any order that looks suspicious.

What you need

A WooCommerce store with API access and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
