I am pleased to announce that the Sift Science plugin for WooCommerce is finally ready for beta testing! Lukas and I started this plugin over a year ago and have been working on it off and on as time permitted. But I’m happy to say that it’s now good enough for Beta testing.
Note: I work at Automattic on WooCommerce, but this is a personal side project.
Sift Science for WooCommerce is a plugin that integrates Sift Science fraud detection into your WooCommerce online store. To use this plugin you need to have a WooCommerce online store and an account with Sift Science.
The plugin sends order information and user behavior details to your Sift Science account which is then used to give orders scores that predict the likelihood of fraud.
I will eventually put together more formal information about this, but for now you’ll have to look at the code to know what data gets sent. Sorry.

It means that you’re free to copy, use and modify this software. Read here to find out more.
Yes, I work for an amazing company called Automattic and I work on WooCommerce. However, this is a project that began before I joined the company and is not officially linked to WooCommerce. It is a side project.
This is an open source project that I’ve been working on in my spare time. There are two main ways you can contribute:
There will be a credits/thank you section for contributors :-)
