Description

Wolfpaw’s Fraud Screening & Detection — Version 10.4

Miva Merchant Compatibility: v10.x and higher

Wolfpaw’s Fraud Screening & Detection is the trusted credit card fraud protection system used by more than 600 Miva stores — including Miva’s own corporate stores and apps.miva.com. For almost two decades Miva merchants have relied on Wolfpaw to stop credit card testing, block fraudulent orders, reduce chargebacks, and protect their businesses from attackers.

What’s New in Version 10.4
• MinFraud Query Caching (NEW in 10.4)
Avoid unnecessary minFraud queries as customers add/remove items, check shipping, or browse your store. Query data is cached and results reused, thereby reducing MaxMind costs significantly. Cache lifetime adjustable: 0–60 minutes.

• Full IPv6 Compatibility
Supports IPv6 fraud analysis and IPv6 whitelist management — one of the most requested new features.

• Support for New MaxMind Service Levels
MaxMind now offers three detailed minFraud options:

  • Score – basic risk score
  • Insights – deep IP/email/device intelligence
  • Factors – most detailed scoring with explanations

Wolfpaw’s module supports all three. Switch levels anytime.

• Component/Item Version Included
A second version of the module installs as a component/item so it can run on any page with known customer data. Ideal for:

  • one-page checkouts
  • heavily customized stores
  • environments where system extension modules don’t fire consistently

How It Works
Wolfpaw integrates Miva Merchant with MaxMind’s minFraud fraud screening platform (the creators of GeoIP®). MinFraud evaluates 80+ data points using advanced fraud-detection techniques:

  • Geolocation matching
  • Proxy/VPN detection
  • Email, IP, device reputation
  • Address distance analysis
  • Velocity checks across thousands of merchants

MaxMind identifies patterns and signals associated with fraudulent orders, helping you stop fraud before it reaches your payment gateway.

Benefits for Merchants
• Block credit card testing attacks before they hit your gateway
    Stops automated card-testing attacks that trigger excessive declines, gateway fees, and account risk.
• Reduce chargebacks, disputes, and fraud-related losses
    Fewer bad transactions get through, saving money on product loss, fees, and time spent fighting chargebacks.
• Prevent fraud orders from reserving or depleting inventory
    Your stock stays available for real customers — not bots or stolen-card attempts.
• Real-time fraud screening at checkout
    Instant risk scoring and automated decisioning before payment is processed.
• Automatically decline high-risk orders
    Set the decline risk score and high-risk orders are automatically blocked
• Receive detailed fraud-analysis emails for each order
    Choose the level of detail you want and receive deep analysis and scoring with explanations

Query costs start at as little as ½ cent per transaction. A single prevented chargeback often pays for an entire year of fraud screening.
