    Not sure if this is an option but I’d like to request verification of a PayPal address when users check out. I’ve been experiencing a good amount of fraud with PayPal lately and I’ve seen some plugins use to require this as a possible anti-fraud method.

    Hi @qwik3r

    Can you provide more details on what you’re asking for? What sort of address verification are you referring to exactly?

    PayPal does perform some verifications like ensuring the postal code is valid for the provided country and state.

    Kind Regards

    Basically they would have to verify their PayPal address before proceeding. For instance if someone’s PP account is compromised that doesn’t necessarily mean they have access to the person’s email, so if a verification was triggered to the email on the paypal account.

    Hi @qwik3r

    It sounds like you’re asking for a feature in which a verification is sent to the customer’s email address. They must then confirm the verification before they can proceed with the order.

    If I am understanding your request correctly, that’s likely not something we would add to the plugin.

    Kind Regards

    Yes that is correct. I’ve seen it in a few other security plugins as a feature for PayPal.
