EDD MaxMind

Online stores that sell digital products face chargebacks and fraudulent purchases, and checking orders by hand takes time. EDD MaxMind addresses this by sending transaction details to MaxMind's minFraud service and returning a risk score for each order. The analysis looks at the IP address, email, and billing and shipping details, so you can see which orders look risky.

The plugin works inside your Easy Digital Downloads site and assesses orders in real time without changing the checkout experience for customers. You set risk thresholds that fit your business, then choose whether higher-risk orders are held for review or blocked. Fraud reports show patterns over time, which helps you adjust your prevention approach and spend less time on manual order checks.

Features

• Built for Easy Digital Downloads: The plugin integrates directly with Easy Digital Downloads, so fraud checks run as part of your existing EDD store and checkout.
• Real-time transaction scoring: Each order is scored using MaxMind's minFraud database, giving you a risk assessment as the transaction happens.
• Multiple data points analyzed: Fraud checks look at the IP address, email, and billing and shipping details to uncover suspicious activity in an order.
• Customizable risk thresholds: Set the level of risk you will accept, then automate order reviews or block high-risk transactions to match how your business works.
• Detailed fraud reports: Reports and insights help you understand fraud patterns in your store and refine your prevention strategy over time.
• Device and proxy detection: Factors such as device fingerprinting and proxy detection are supported, which gives the risk scoring more information to work with.
• Fewer chargebacks: Flagging fraudulent sales before they are completed helps reduce chargebacks and financial losses, and cuts unnecessary manual order reviews.
• Current fraud data from MaxMind: The service draws on MaxMind's fraud database, which keeps improving, so checks can reflect newer fraud threats.
