The skill

Suggested shortcut: /risky-orders
Check my unfulfilled orders for fraud risk.

## Steps
1. List unfulfilled orders from the last 14 days with a risk level of medium or high.
2. For each: order number, total, risk level, the specific indicators (mismatched billing and shipping, proxy or unusual IP, multiple failed payments, first-time customer with a large order, disposable email), and whether the customer has previous successful orders.
3. Suggest one action per order: hold and verify (say what to verify), fulfil with signature required, or fulfil normally. Explain in one clause.

## Output
A table: order, total, risk, indicators, suggested action. Then one line with the total value on hold.

Do not cancel, refund, or contact anyone in this skill. Do not label a customer as fraudulent; describe indicators only.

What you get

A short list of orders worth a second look, with the actual reasons, before you ship and before a chargeback.

When to use it

Daily during peak season; otherwise whenever the risk banner appears in orders.

Variations

  • “Also draft a polite verification email for the hold-and-verify orders” pairs with /wismo-reply style replies.
  • Automate the hold with /flow-fraud-hold.

Limits

Risk analysis quality depends on Shopify Payments or your gateway’s data. Orders paid by other methods may show fewer indicators.
