Description
Veloris Shield evaluates every WooCommerce order in real time — before the payment processor is invoked — using device fingerprinting, velocity intelligence, and ML-based fraud scoring.
How it works:
- Shield.js passively collects device signals on your checkout page (no visible impact on the customer experience).
- When a customer clicks Place Order, the order data and device fingerprint are evaluated server-side against the Veloris API.
- Shield returns a fraud score (0–1000) and a verdict:
- APPROVE — order proceeds normally
- FLAG — order proceeds but is flagged for manual review in your Veloris dashboard
- CHALLENGE — 3DS step-up requested (gateway-dependent)
- DECLINE — order is blocked before payment is attempted
Key features:
- Sub-200ms decisions — no added checkout latency
- Device fingerprinting across sessions and browsers
- Cross-merchant velocity intelligence (shared fraud signals across the Shield network)
- Monitor mode — observe scores without blocking any orders
- Evaluation ID stored on every order for dispute evidence
- Works with Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, and all major WooCommerce payment gateways
- GDPR-compliant — see Veloris Privacy Policy
Requirements:
- A Veloris account — sign up free
- WooCommerce 7.0+
- PHP 8.0+

FAQ
-
Will this slow down my checkout?
-
No. Shield.js loads asynchronously and the API evaluation adds under 200ms server-side — imperceptible to customers.
-
What happens if the Veloris API is unreachable?
-
The plugin fails open — orders proceed normally. You’ll see an error in your PHP error log.
-
Can I test it without blocking real orders?
-
Yes — set Mode to Monitor in the plugin settings. All orders will be evaluated and scored but none will be blocked.
-
Where do I find my API keys?
-
In your Veloris dashboard under API Keys.
-
Is this GDPR compliant?
-
Yes. Veloris acts as a data processor; you are the controller. A Data Processing Agreement is available in your dashboard. See Veloris Privacy Policy.
