International Shipping/Billing Address Filter

What does the filter do?

This filter screens the customer’s shipping and billing information for non-U.S. addresses. The filter checks for country code 840, or any derivation of “United States” (U.S., USA, United States of America, America, and so on) in the country fields.

Any other country name triggers the filter.

How does the filter protect me?

Orders from customers in foreign countries are more likely to be fraudulent than orders from domestic customers. This is due to the difficulty of authenticating foreign citizens and the difficulty of cross-border legal enforcement against fraudulent activities.

The International Shipping/Billing Address filter sets aside transactions from customers in foreign countries so that you can evaluate them more fully.
