IP Address Check
Our IP address check feature enables the extraction of a user’s location by utilizing their IP address. Depending on the integration method, Vouched can either automatically extract the IP from the user’s interaction with the JS plugin or receive it through a customer-provided request. This feature provides insights such as geographic location, ISP details, and user anonymity status, allowing for enhanced verification and fraud detection. This is a billable feature, we recommend reaching out to our support team for assistance and guidance before enabling it.
