Fraud & Risk Order Flagging System
A done-for-you e-commerce and retail automation built for the Risk & Fraud Manager, connecting Slack so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
As each order comes through checkout, this automation runs it against a risk model inside Signifyd or NoFraud, checking for mismatched billing and shipping addresses, an order value far above the customer's typical spend, or an account created minutes before the purchase.
Orders that score above the risk threshold are automatically held from fulfillment in Shopify or WooCommerce and routed to the risk manager through Slack with the specific red flags attached, rather than shipping on autopilot and hoping for the best.
Zapier or Make.com handles the hold-and-notify logic so nothing risky slips through during a busy sales period.
Catching high-risk orders before they ship prevents a meaningful share of chargebacks and fraudulent-order losses that would otherwise only surface weeks later as a dispute, protecting margin on exactly the orders that looked fine at a glance.
- Shopify or WooCommerce
- Signifyd or NoFraud (risk scoring)
- Zapier or Make.com
- Slack (review alerts)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Without automation, this falls entirely on a risk & fraud manager, who has to track every step by hand across emails, spreadsheets, and sticky notes. It's the kind of work that quietly eats hours every week.
With this automation
- Low-stock and reorder alerts before you run out
- Vendor and subcontractor confirmations that chase themselves
- Preventive maintenance scheduled by usage or date
- Work orders and project milestones that update stakeholders
