Shopify Flow is an ecommerce automation platform that enables you to automate tasks and processes within your store and across your apps.
Hi all,
So my team and I are trying to find a way to capture the distance between the IP address and the shipping address of any given order. I see that the value does exist since it is shown in the fraud analysis section of an order (ie: "Shipping address is XX miles from location of IP address"), but I don't see any way to interact with it via Flow. We are trying to achieve this so that we can tag orders that are shipping to a location 500+ (or so) miles away from where it was purchased (the IP address). Is there any possible way to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi @zbetters
We are not aware of other apps or Shopify Flow being able to do this except our app Beacon.
Beacon has this exact feature where you can measure, flag, then tag the order based on the distance between the IP address and the default address in KM when the threshold is hit.
I've pasted this below of some screen caps of this feature in our app.
I hope this answers your question.
That exact text is available via order / risks / message, which you can access via Flow. If you want to use the actual number, you'll have to write some liquid to split it out. Also realize that sometimes the data isn't available, so you'll need to have when there is no match for that string.
