Capturing the customer's IP address
You can capture the IP address of the customer who placed the order. Digital River uses this IP address to identify and prevent fraudulent activities.
To capture a customer's IP address, provide the IP address in the payload of the
POST /v1/shoppers/me/carts/active request. The Commerce API validates the format of the IP address and supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address schemes.If the call does not include an IP address, the call will work as originally designed. Digital River will not fail the order submission.
When a request captures an
ipAddress, Digital River will use it to screen the order for fraud during submission.cURL
curl --location -g --request POST 'https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/carts/active' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic {{access_token}}' \
...
--data-raw '{
“cart”:{
“ipAddress”: “192.16.1.1”
}
}'
You will get a
200 Successful response.cURL
curl --location -g --request POST ' https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/carts/active' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic {{access_token}}' \
...
--data-raw '{
“cart”:{
“ipAddress”:“2001:0000:3238:DFE1:63::FEFB”
}
}'
You will get a
200 Successful response.When a connector (such as WordPress Plugin, Magento Extension, Salesforce B2B Commerce App, and so on) creates a cart, the connector collects all cart required data (including the customer's IP address, if available) before calling the Cart resource. For these scenarios, the IP address should be sent in the
POST /v1/shoppers/me/carts/active/submit-cart request.cURL
curl --location -g --request POST ' https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/carts/active/submit-cart' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic {{access_token}}' \
...
--data-raw '{
"cart": {
"ipAddress":"192.179.12.1"
}
}'
You will get a
200 Successful response.cURL
Payload

}
}
You will get a
200 Successful response.You can validate the successful capture of a customer's IP address by using the
GET v1/shoppers/me request. In the response body, search for ipAddress. If the value of the ipAddress field is null, you did not send the customer's IP address. If the ipAddress is not null, run an IP search to verify the IP address, city, and state matches the customer address in the Global Commerce order. The IP address must be the customer's IP address and not your server's IP address.cURL
