Fraud screening methods are divided into several categories:
Generic methods (implemented by all plugins):
- GetConfig: returns plug-in configuration parameters.
- GetAccountAttributes: returns the list of additional account attribute types to install.
- GetControlParameter: returns the plug-in control parameter to install.
- GetRequiredData: returns the list of data required for the CheckVNE or CheckCondition calls.
- GetRules: returns a list of plug-in rules to install.
- GetAnswers: returns a list of strings (plug-in answers) for the conditions of a rule. These answers are displayed in GUI for the user to choose from when configuring a rule condition.
- GetVersion: returns the major and minor version parts as an array comprised of two integers: [major, minor] (for example, [0,9] for "0.9", default is [1,0], that is "1.0"). The plug-in version is displayed on the plug-in configuration page in CloudBlue Commerce provider control panel.
- ValidateConfigData: validates configuration parameters provided by the user on the Edit Plug-in Configuration screen in CloudBlue Commerce provider control panel.
Connection testing method:
- TestConnection: Checks the plug-in connection to third-party systems.
Fraud screening (blacklist and non-blacklist) methods:
- GetBlacklistSchema: returns the blacklist schema
- IsInBlacklist: checks whether a particular value is blacklisted.
- AddToBlacklist: adds a value to the plug-in blacklist.
- RemoveFromBlacklist: removes a particular value from the blacklist.
- CheckCondition: performs fraud checks (either blacklist or non-blacklist functions)(both blacklist and non-blacklist fraud screening operations)
Validation and eligibility (V&E) method:
- CheckVNE: checks whether the details of an order or an account are valid and the customer is eligible to place the order.
