Protecting Sylius Stores from Online Fraud with FraudLabs Pro Fraud Prevention

Online fraud is one of the biggest challenges facing e-commerce businesses today. A single fraudulent order can lead to chargebacks, lost revenue, wasted fulfillment costs, and extra time spent on manual reviews.

For merchants using Sylius, fraud prevention should not be an afterthought. It should be part of the checkout process.

That is where the **FraudLabs Pro Sylius Fraud Prevention Module** comes in.

Introducing FraudLabs Pro for Sylius

The FraudLabs Pro Sylius Fraud Prevention Module is designed to help Sylius merchants screen customer orders for payment fraud during checkout.

Once integrated, the module checks orders placed through a Sylius store and sends the transaction details to FraudLabs Pro for fraud analysis. This helps merchants identify suspicious transactions before they are fulfilled, reducing the risk of chargebacks and fraud losses.

Sylius is a flexible e-commerce framework built for customized online shopping experiences, while FraudLabs Pro provides fraud prevention tools that help online businesses detect payment fraud and minimize chargebacks. Together, they give merchants a practical way to add automated fraud screening into their e-commerce workflow.

Why Fraud Prevention Matters for Sylius Stores

Fraudulent transactions can be costly. Beyond the lost order value, merchants may also face chargeback fees, shipping losses, inventory loss, and increased operational workload.

For growing e-commerce businesses, manually reviewing suspicious orders can become time-consuming. Teams may need to check customer details, compare billing and shipping information, review IP addresses, and identify unusual purchasing behavior.

FraudLabs Pro helps simplify this process by automating fraud checks during checkout. Instead of relying only on manual review, Sylius merchants can use FraudLabs Pro to analyze order data and highlight possible fraud risks earlier in the order journey.

How the FraudLabs Pro Sylius Module Works

The FraudLabs Pro Sylius Fraud Prevention Module connects a Sylius store with the FraudLabs Pro fraud detection engine.

When a customer places an order, the module screens the transaction using multiple fraud indicators. These may include IP address, email address, billing and shipping details, proxy usage, blacklist data, payment information and other fraud risk signals.

By reviewing these data points, FraudLabs Pro helps merchants detect patterns that may indicate suspicious or high-risk transactions.

This allows businesses to respond before the order moves too far into the fulfillment process.

How to Install & Use the FraudLabs Pro Sylius Fraud Prevention Module

Before downloading and installing the module, merchants should sign up for a free FraudLabs Pro API key. The API key is required during the module configuration process.

The FraudLabs Pro Sylius Fraud Prevention Module is compatible with Sylius version 2.x or later.

To sign up for a free API key, visit: https://www.fraudlabspro.com/checkout-micro

To install the module, require the plugin via Composer:

composer require fraudlabspro/sylius-fraudlabspro-plugin

Next, register the plugin by adding the bundle to your config/bundles.php file, if Symfony Flex has not done it automatically:

return [
    // ...
    FraudLabsPro\SyliusFraudLabsProPlugin\FraudLabsProSyliusFraudLabsProPlugin::class => ['all' => true],
];

Because the plugin adds a ChannelConfiguration entity to securely store API keys per channel, database migrations are required.

Run the following commands to update your database:

bin/console doctrine:migrations:diff
bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

After that, clear the application cache:

bin/console cache:clear

Once the technical setup is complete, log in to the Sylius Admin dashboard and follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Configuration > Channels from the left sidebar.
2. Edit the channel you want to protect.
3. Scroll to the FraudLabs Pro section at the bottom of the page.
4. Check the Enable FraudLabs Pro Validator box.
5. Enter your FraudLabs Pro API key, which can be found in your FraudLabs Pro Merchant Dashboard.
6. Click the Update button to save the changes.

After configuration, the Sylius store can start using FraudLabs Pro to validate orders and detect suspicious transactions during checkout.
