VPCART has the facility to determine the country from which the hacker is actually making an order by looking up their IP address in a database.
Note: The database is not supplied in the
distribution package and must be downloaded separately from the add-ons page of
our website.
To turn on this check, you need to set the following in your shop configuration.
|
Xhackeriptocountry |
If set to yes, then IP to country checks are turned on. Do not use until Iptocountry database is installed. |
If this is turned on, at the end of an order, the IP to country function is called.
If the country does not match the customer’s country as supplied on the customer form, two changes are made to the order:
•The ocardtype field has the country abbreviation added
•The IP address has the long country name appended
By changing the ocardtype field, certain automated end of order processing is stopped, such as order attachments and downloads. It also alerts you that the order is suspicious as they have specified a different country than their IP address puts them in.
Note: This feature uses a public domain database that is supplied on an as-is basis. VPCART does not warrant that this database is complete or accurate. The database may not be updated for future IP changes. You must download this separate database from our website. It is not supplied in the normal VPCART distribution.
