Installing WooFraudGuard

WooFraudGuard Updated 23 August 2026

WooFraudGuard is installed like any standard WordPress plugin. You will need your plugin ZIP file, which you can download from your CHADA account after purchasing.

Downloading the plugin

  1. Sign in to your account at My account → Licenses.
  2. Locate the WooFraudGuard row and click Download.
  3. Save the woofraudguard.zip file to your computer.

Installing via the WordPress admin

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin.
  2. Click Upload Plugin at the top of the page.
  3. Click Choose File, select woofraudguard.zip, then click Install Now.
  4. When the installation finishes, click Activate Plugin.

Verifying the installation

After activation you should see a WooFraudGuard entry in the left-hand WordPress admin menu (below Payments). The plugin immediately starts scoring new orders using the seven built-in Lite rules — no further configuration is required to get a baseline level of protection.

Installing via WP-CLI

wp plugin install /path/to/woofraudguard.zip --activate

Next step

If you purchased a Premium license, activate your license key to unlock the premium fraud rules, order-graph linking, and the dispute webhooks.
