Is there a way in a development/test store to trigger a fraudulent order?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

I’d like to do some testing of Shopify Flows and I’d like to know if there is any way when a store is in test mode to trigger a high risk, medium risk, and low-risk order.

I tried to use addresses on the opposite sides of the country for shipping and billing but that didn’t work.

I tried to use the chargeback card identified here (https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/payments/shopify-payments/testing-shopify-payments) but that did just as it said it would and triggered a chargeback. The sample test orders that are in Shopify show as fraud but I can’t see how they were put in or what triggered them as high risk.

Has anyone done this in the past?

As an anti-fraud app developer, I had to recreate this scenario quite a bit.

If you have a developer on your team, they can use the Shopify OrderRisk API endpoint to trigger a medium or high risk order scenario, just like the Shopify system or a 3rd party app would.

REST API documentation: Order Risk - REST

Last I checked, there wasn’t support to create order risk scenarios via the GraphQL API.
