What it solves

Small stores often review risky orders manually or too late. A simple alert workflow can catch high-risk signals before the package leaves.

Core workflow

Listen for new orders, evaluate risk indicators, check order value and shipping mismatch, then send a structured alert to Slack or email.

Implementation notes

The template should avoid making final fraud decisions. It should route a human review with enough context to act quickly.
