Hey everyone,

I recently released Veridis Fraud Guard for WooCommerce, a free, open-source plugin built around a fairly specific problem: repeat customers who place problematic orders, particularly Cash on Delivery orders that end up uncollected.

Instead of relying on automated fraud scoring or third-party services, it lets store owners maintain their own blocklist using email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, or email domains.

Depending on the selected mode, a matching checkout can be blocked, flagged with a private warning, or, for COD orders, placed on hold for review.

It supports both Classic Checkout and Checkout Blocks, HPOS, and runs locally on the WordPress server. No subscription or external account is required.

It's not an AI fraud detector, and it won't automatically identify first-time fraudsters. It's intended to give merchants more control over recurring problems they've already identified.

The plugin is available on WordPress.org:

I'd particularly appreciate feedback from people who manage WooCommerce stores:

How do you currently handle customers who repeatedly place orders and never collect their parcels?

I'm interested in both the technical feedback and whether this approach is actually useful in real-world store operations.
