    Log IP Address for each order to enchance fraud detection capabilities

    It would be great if you would log the IP address for each order and make it available in the admin interface in the order, and available for download from 3rd party apps like StoneEdge. It would give us the ability to use automated fraud detection software in StoneEdge that relies on the IP address as one of the key components. Currently we have to log into our payment gateway and manually put the IP address in StoneEdge to check for fraud. We have another website that is currently on Volusion. We get the IP address from them imported into StoneEdge, so I know it is possible to do.

    thanks, doug

    Pretty sure this is able to be done today. In fact, I believe that Wolfpaw has a module that brings the same fraud filtering system that StoneEdge uses to the Miva platform level.

      Correct you can use Custom Order fields to capture and show the IP address (natively) and WolfPaw does have a module that extends this to MaxMind (we use it on our own site, it's a great module).

        Had this just come up today - the credit card processor for a store owner has requested that the host block an IP address of a person or persons attempting to test credit card numbers. The only problem, the credit card process has put the onus on the store owner to figure out what the IP address and then to block it. What solutions are available for a non-profit / small budget site?

          Wolfpaw WP_ANTIFRAUD V5.503 does just that!

            Here are the steps / code to capture the customers IP address with each order.

            1. Create a new custom order field under utilities, then custom fields tab. Give it a code of "ip_address"

            2. On OPAY add this code anywhere on the page:

            Code:
            <mvt:item name="customfields" param="Write_Basket('ip_address', s.remote_addr)" />

            Leslie - The wolflpaw module is a great option. You could also look at the server access log and look for the same IP address hitting OPAY or submittig the OPAY form more than normal. You can then add an .htaccess rule to block that IP address.

              I've suggested the WolfPaw module (and will suggest it again since the store owner is getting charged $$$ for the attempts), in the mean time, I'd also like to display the IP Address on each order invoice, just trying to remember how to do it.

                s.remote_addr in Miva Script.
                &mvt:system:remote_addr; in SMT.

                  If you're trying to get the IP address of the order into Stone Edge (SE), you just need to install their module. It can be found on their download gateway. We use it along with Maxmind in SE to aid in fraud detection.

                    Hi folks,

                    I work for Sift Science, a company that fights fraud for online merchants. Sift Science uses the same technology that Amazon and Apple use to fight fraud, machine learning, but applies it to online businesses of all sizes. Some of our large customers include Match.com, airbnb, and Open Table.

                    We are finalizing our Miva Merchant plugin and are looking for Miva beta testers. Please let me know if you would like to participate in the beta! Sift evaluates a number of different variables, including the IP address from which your customers are placing an order.

                    Sift has been very effective for merchants of all sizes. For merchants that have already experienced fraud, we’ve been able to significantly reduce manual review times, while also being maintaining remarkable accuracy. More information about Sift can be found on our website.

                    Look forward to working with you!

                    Best,
                    Erica
