After losing €12k to invoice fraud in my German e-commerce business, I built a plugin that analyzes WooCommerce orders for risk patterns
The problem: In Germany, "pay by invoice" (Rechnung) is still huge - customers expect it. But combine that with packstation deliveries and fake addresses, you're bleeding money.
What it does:
- Analyzes order patterns
- Scores risk based on multiple factors
- Optional API for enhanced detection (hosted in Germany for GDPR)
Just launched on WordPress.org. The basic version is free forever, planning to add premium features based on feedback.
Tech stack is simple: PHP/MySQL, optional REST API for enhanced checks.
Would love feedback from anyone dealing with e-commerce fraud, especially in markets where post-payment is common.
