Pro adds optional automation, payment controls, dispute tracking, and advanced alerts for stores that need stricter workflows.<\/p>\n\n Many WooCommerce stores lose revenue from abuse patterns that stay hidden until the damage is already done.<\/p>\n\n Common examples include:<\/p>\n\n Most store owners only notice these issues after they escalate. TrustLens helps you detect these patterns earlier, monitor behavior trends, and take action before abuse grows.<\/p>\n\n TrustLens turns complex customer behavior into clear, actionable signals store owners can understand.<\/p>\n\n Assigns every customer a trust score.<\/strong> TrustLens calculates a 0-100 trust score for every customer using six detection modules running in the background. Customers are automatically grouped into six segments: VIP<\/strong>, Trusted<\/strong>, Normal<\/strong>, Caution<\/strong>, Risk<\/strong>, and Critical<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n Tracks the patterns that matter.<\/strong> TrustLens analyzes refund rates, refund value, order completion and cancellation patterns, coupon abuse patterns, category-specific return behavior, and linked accounts across customer identifiers including addresses, phone numbers, IPs, payment methods, and device identifiers (user agent signals).<\/p>\n\n Gives you actionable control.<\/strong> Review detailed customer profiles, block abusive customers from checkout, allowlist trusted buyers, monitor store-wide risk trends, and export data for deeper analysis. The free version focuses on visibility and manual control; Pro adds optional automation, advanced notifications, webhooks, scheduled reports, and payment method risk controls.<\/p>\n\n Watches your chargeback ratio.<\/strong> The dashboard Chargeback Ratio speedometer shows your blended calendar-month ratio at a glance, with a Healthy \/ Approaching threshold \/ Action needed status so you know where you stand against card-network monitoring programs. Pro adds per-brand breakdown (Visa VDMP\/VFMP, Mastercard ECP, Amex, Discover), a 12-month trend chart, and email alerts before you cross a threshold.<\/p>\n\n The WordPress.org download is the fully functional free version<\/strong> \u2014 no trial limits, no disabled scoring, no locked detection modules. Everything you need for visibility and manual control:<\/p>\n\n For stores that need automation, advanced alerts, and payment-risk workflows:<\/p>\n\n Bottom line:<\/strong> Free surfaces the risk. Pro acts on it.<\/p>\n\n If you need chargeback prevention for WooCommerce, TrustLens Pro helps you track disputes, watch your ratio against Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover monitoring programs, identify repeat high-risk customers earlier, and respond with better data before payment problems escalate.<\/p>\n\n Every customer begins with a base score of 50<\/strong>. TrustLens detection modules analyze behavior and apply positive or negative signals:<\/p>\n\n Scores are always kept between 0 and 100. Customers below the configurable minimum order threshold (default: 3 orders) remain in the Normal segment until enough data exists for reliable scoring.<\/p>\n\n All scoring signals are visible in the customer profile so you can see exactly how each score was calculated.<\/p>\n\n TrustLens is designed for production WooCommerce stores and growing order volume.<\/p>\n\n Key architecture features include:<\/p>\n\n These design choices let TrustLens analyze customer behavior without slowing down your store.<\/p>\n\n This plugin may connect to external services as described below.<\/p>\n\n This plugin uses the Freemius<\/a> SDK for optional usage tracking, license management, and plugin updates.<\/p>\n\n When data is sent:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n What data is sent:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Important:<\/strong> No data is sent unless you explicitly opt in during plugin activation. You can skip the opt-in entirely and use the free version without sharing any data.<\/p>\n\n When webhooks are enabled in TrustLens settings (Pro feature), the plugin sends HTTP POST requests to URLs configured by the administrator.<\/p>\n\n When data is sent:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n What data is sent:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Important:<\/strong> Webhook endpoints are entirely configured by you. No data is sent to any third-party service unless you explicitly add webhook URLs. The plugin does not send data to the plugin developer or any default external service.<\/p>\n\n\n The historical sync runs in the background and does not affect site performance.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. Customers are identified by a hash of their email address, so guest and registered customers are tracked equally. If a guest later registers, their history carries over.<\/p><\/dd>\n By default, no. The free version is manual: it surfaces customer risk data, and you decide when to block or allowlist someone. Pro can optionally automate specific actions, including alerts, order holds, verification requirements, and customer blocking if you configure automation rules or chargeback auto-blocking.<\/p><\/dd>\n TrustLens creates fingerprints from shipping addresses, billing addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, payment methods, and device user agents. When multiple customer accounts share fingerprints, they are flagged as linked. This helps detect multi-account abuse like repeated first-order discounts.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. TrustLens tracks refund rate, refund value, refund frequency, category-specific return behavior, and related customer patterns over time. This helps you spot serial returners and high-risk refund behavior earlier instead of reviewing refunds one order at a time.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. TrustLens Pro includes chargeback and dispute tracking for Stripe and WooPayments, plus manual dispute recording. Dispute history can affect customer trust scores, and you can use that data to identify risky customers earlier and reduce payment risk in your store.<\/p><\/dd>\n Blocked customers see a customizable message when they try to add items to their cart or proceed to checkout. The block applies to both logged-in users and guest checkouts matching the blocked email. All blocked checkout attempts are logged.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. You can unblock a customer at any time from their profile page or the customer list. You can also add customers to the allowlist, which locks their score at 100 and prevents any negative signals from affecting them.<\/p><\/dd>\n New WooCommerce orders are analyzed automatically after activation. If you already have historical orders, you can run Historical Sync from the dashboard to build trust profiles from your existing store data without slowing down the frontend.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Score calculations run asynchronously via Action Scheduler (the same system WooCommerce uses). Checkout blocking uses a lightweight email-hash lookup. The historical sync processes orders in small batches in the background.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. TrustLens works inside your WordPress and WooCommerce installation. It does not send customer data to the plugin developer or to any default third-party service. External delivery only happens if you explicitly configure features like webhooks or email notifications.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. TrustLens declares full compatibility with High-Performance Order Storage and works with both legacy and HPOS-enabled stores.<\/p><\/dd>\n TrustLens stores customer email addresses and behavioral data (order counts, refund counts, trust scores) in custom database tables. Matching identifiers used for linked-account detection are pseudonymized using keyed HMAC-SHA256 hashes, preventing the raw values from being exposed or reused across sites. The plugin integrates with WordPress privacy tools \u2014 customers can request data export or erasure through the standard WordPress privacy workflow.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. TrustLens includes a REST API with 8 endpoints for looking up customers, retrieving scores, filtering by segment, and triggering recalculations. API access requires either the Yes. The free version includes core email notifications such as blocked checkout alerts, a welcome summary, and a weekly summary. Pro adds advanced alerts, daily digests, monthly revenue protection reports, and scheduled email reports.<\/p><\/dd>\n By default, customers need at least 3 orders before they move out of the Normal segment. You can adjust this threshold in Settings > General. Customers below the threshold still accumulate signals \u2014 they just aren't classified until enough data exists.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. All six detection modules (returns, orders, coupons, categories, linked accounts, shipping address anomalies) are included in the free version. Pro adds automation, webhooks, scheduled reports, chargeback tracking, and advanced notifications.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n Automation Rules \u2014 reliability rewrite + major capability expansion.<\/strong> Plus Card-Testing Defense admin UX consolidation.<\/p>\n\n Automation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
