Along with being costly to deal with, fraud can also be detrimental to store operations as merchant processors will often disable payment accounts if the fraud rate is too high. This can happen without warning and cause severe complications. Actively protecting against fraudulent transactions on your eCommerce site is one of the most important things you as a store owner can do.

Fraud Monitor is an extension that adds robust monitoring to your Easy Digital Downloads store and works for you to automatically detect possibly fraudulent purchases, allowing you to rest easy and focus on growing your business instead of fighting fraud.

Each time a purchase is made, Fraud Monitor runs the information through a series of checks and will automatically flag the purchase as needing further review if it detects anything suspicious.

When a purchase is flagged as possibly fraudulent, an email can be delivered automatically to the site admin and/or to the customer in order to request additional information necessary for verifying the purchase. Once the purchase is reviewed by a site manager, the receipt and download links can be released to the customer. If the purchase is confirmed to be fraudulent, Fraud Monitor allows you to easily reverse the payment, preventing costly chargebacks or fraud penalties in the future.

Fraud Monitor includes the ability to moderate payments when:

• An email addresses matches common fraud patterns.
• An IP address has already been flagged as possible fraud.
• A purchase comes from a country store owners identify as having high fraud rates.
• A purchase pattern contains product combinations that a typical customer wouldn’t purchase.
• A purchase has an unusually high total.
• A purchase has an unusually high number of items.
• A purchase is made from outside a certain radius in relation to the billing address.
• A store owner manually flags a payment to be reviewed or as fraudulent.

In addition to all those, Fraud Monitor can also flag a payment for review during the file download process when:

• The download request is originating from a country the store owner has identified as having high fraud rates.
• A download request is made within 24 hours of the initial purchase, and is from a different country than the purchase was made.

Perhaps you need to know the total number of completed sales for Product A and Product C for the last 30 days. With Advanced Reports, you can easily specify which products to include in your report as well as specific details about what information is needed for each product.

If this information is just for your own use, you may be okay with viewing an information graph or table right as soon as the report is created. Or perhaps you need to send a report to a team member. Your report can also be exported to a CSV file.

For a quick view of frequently needed information, Advanced Reports dashboard widgets can also be shown on your main WordPress dashboard, so you can know at all times how your store is doing.

Whether you need highly detailed reports about specific products at a moment’s notice, or you’d like to have easy access to general information about your store’s performance displayed every time you log into your site, Advanced Reports can get the job done.

Recurring revenue provides more predictable income and allows you to make better forecasts and major decisions for your business.

Why use recurring billing

• Billing is automated, which means no more hassle of requesting a renewal payment or sending invoices every month or year.
• With an automated system, there are fewer late or missing payments.
• The risk of fraud is reduced because there’s less circulation of sensitive information.
• Customer retention usually goes up because they don’t have to make a new buying decision or take the time to re-enter their payment information every month or year.

The truth is, setting up recurring revenue with your online store might just be the most important business decision you ever make.

Multiple payment gateway support

Recurring Payments works with the following payment gateways:

• Stripe (included with Easy Digital Downloads)
• PayPal (included with Easy Digital Downloads)
• Authorize.net
• NETbilling Gateway (3rd party)
• Paddle Payment Gateway (3rd party)
• Payfast for Easy Digital Downloads (3rd party)

We highly recommend pairing Recurring Payments with our Stripe Pro Payment Gateway extension. It’s our most popular premium gateway for Easy Digital Downloads and how this site itself processes most of its transactions.

This is extremely powerful for anyone selling licenses for software, services, courses, all access passes, and more. Streamlined and fully integrated with the Recurring Payments extension, there’s no need for customers to manually return and purchase again.

In addition to Stripe being the preferred payment gateway for Easy Digital Downloads, we are also officially a Stripe verified partner. The Stripe partner program recognizes applications which meet their strict quality requirements and allows us to provide even better services to our customers.

Recurring Payments features

Flexible recurring payments

Easily set up recurring payments on any product, including daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and yearly.

You can easily adjust the recurring periods, the number of times they recur, and how much they cost. Products with variable pricing can have recurring and non-recurring price options.

Customer emails

Deliver automated emails to customers when their subscription is nearing renewal, a renewal has been processed, a subscription has been cancelled, a renewal payment fails, and more.

By reminding your customers about anything related to their subscription you should see a drop in refunds and payment disputes. You can even include reasons they may want to renew, upgrade or subscribe to additional products from your store.

Multiple subscriptions

If you sell multiple recurring digital products, your customers can maintain any number of individual subscriptions to each one. This way they can easily cancel or renew as needed from their account area on your site.

Free trials

Want to let your customers try your product before they’re charged? You can set your subscription products to include free trial periods of any length. Billing details are collected during registration and customers are then charged automatically when the free trial is completed.

Signup fees

If you want to charge your customers a larger up-front payment, simply add a signup fee. For example, to charge subscribers $50 up front for a $20 per month product, just add a $30 signup fee.

Subscription management

With a complete interface for viewing and managing subscriptions, taking care of your customers and keeping an eye on your subscriptions is simple. Search by customer or filter by subscription status such as active, pending, and cancelled.

Select a subscription to drill in and find their payment in Stripe, PayPal, or other payment gateways. Manually change a subscription’s status, add notes and record manual payments with a couple of clicks.

Renewal revenue reports

Track your recurring revenue through beautiful, easy-to-read earnings graphs. See a breakdown of new purchases alongside renewal payments to get a better picture of your returning customer sales.

Limit file downloads

Optionally restrict file downloads of recurring products to just those customers with an active subscription. This way you can ensure customers who cancel their subscription no longer have access to your product downloads until they decide to purchase again or renew.

Discount codes

Discount codes can be set up to apply to the initial payment only or to each and every renewal payment.

Customer dashboard

Your customers can have a complete dashboard for viewing and managing their subscriptions. After logging in they can view their invoice, update their payment method, cancel their subscription, or even renew recently expired subscriptions.

When used with our Stripe Payment Gateway extension, your customers can quickly update their payment card without needing a store admin to do it.

Software Licensing integration

Recurring Payments is fully integrated with the Software Licensing extension to provide automatic license renewals anytime a subscription payment is processed. Customers can also view and copy their license keys from their dashboard at any time.

See our docs for integrating Recurring Payments with Software Licensing.

All Access integration

Recurring Payments is fully integrated with the All Access extension to make it possible for you to sell memberships to your customers which give them access to all of your store’s products. Recurring Payments will automatically renew an access period for the customer when it expires. If you need to limit access to specific products or set different durations for each pass, you can do that too! See all customizations.

When using Recurring Payments, Software Licensing, and All Access together, you can create “Master Licenses” which work for all products and allows pro-rated upgrades.

Content Restriction integration

Recurring Payments is fully integrated with the Content Restriction extension to make it possible for you to restrict posts, pages, bbPress forums, etc. to only those users who have purchased specific products and have an active subscription that is not expired.

Custom Prices integration

Recurring Payments includes complete support for Custom Prices, allowing site administrators to give customers the option of “pay what you want” subscriptions. This is a great solution if you’re accepting donations.

How much do you know about your customers?

• Do you know the exact path a customer took through your site before making a purchase?
• Do you know how they found your site?
• Do you know how long they waited before finally gaining the confidence necessary to give you their hard-won dollars?
• Do you know how much they’ve paid you over their lifetime as a customer?

With the User History add-on, you can know all of these things!

Learn From & Improve Your Customer Experience
This add-on makes it incredibly easy to review and then optimize visitor paths, taking out all the guesswork from improving your sales process and increasing conversions. Plus, it’s just downright fun to see where visitors are looking across your site before they decide to take action.

Get to know your top referrers and the search terms customers use to find your site (when available). Uncover the pages customers view most often before completing a sale. Figure out just how effective that email campaign really is!

Simple & Effective
There is absolutely no configuration necessary. The moment you activate this add-on it automatically begins tracking your customers’ browsing history as part of their completed purchases. You can view this history by navigating to the order details page, available in Downloads > Payment History. Additionally, you can also search your Payment History for pages that appear in customer browsing history.

Features

• View customer browsing history: See every page* the customer visited, in order, prior to completing a specific transaction.
• Referrer Information: Know which site referred your customer prior to making a purchase. If they searched for your site, and the search engine did not obfuscate their query (we’re looking at you, Google), you’ll be able to see the exact search phrase used as well.
• New in 1.5 – Time Spent & Time Elapsed: See how much time the visitor spent on each page prior to continuing in their purchase, as well as total time elapsed from start-to-finish.
• New in 1.5 – Actual Lifetime Customer Value: See all transactions completed by the same user, as well as their total spend across all completed, non-refunded, non-cancelled orders.
• New in 1.5 – Search by browsing history: See how many transactions included a particular page or referrer in the customer browsing history.
• New in 1.5 – Admin email notifications: This add-on includes two new email tags for use in your sale notification emails, {browsing_history} and {purchase_history}, making the data easily available to you no matter where you are!

A note about privacy:
This plugin uses a single cookie to keep track of the pages a visitor views on your site. The only data this add-on can access and store are the URLs of pages the customer browsed within your site along with a timestamp. No personal nor identifying data is ever gathered by this plugin in any way. In other words, neither you nor your customers have any reason to worry about privacy.
