Costumer IP Address in the Order

[JosefPrado]

Hi,

In order to facilitate de disputes between us and the credit card operators and payment gateways like PayPal and PagSeguro, it would be nice to have the costumer IP Address recorded in the order and visible in the order details page.

Is that possible?

This would greatly increase de reliability of our information when proving that the user did place the order he is saying that he did not place.

The easiest way would be to add it to the confirmation email you get from each order, you could also store it in the database, but that would require making quite a few changes.

The user's IP address is a part of the $_SERVER variable, you can get it using $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

You can just add that to the confirmation email in the mailalerts module.

Hi,

In order to be able to provide legal proof in case of a Government or legal request, we need to have the user IP adress to proof that he was the person who made the purchase, and more than this, we need to proof that he acepted the Terms of Use of our website.

As far I understand, The only way we can have this is:

1) To have a proof that he acepted the Terms of Use we need to have inside the customer registry the IP address, date and time, that he had when acepted the Terms of Use. (In the database)

2) To have a proof that he actually placed the order, we need to have the IP Adress that the user have at the moment of the purchase inside the order details. (in the database)

This will provide us a documentation that can be used in case that the justice or government request us any proof of "who made the purchase" and will provide us also data for investigating frauds.

Hi,
tomerg3 can you please show me an example of how can I add the customer's IP variable $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] to the confirmation email in the mailalerts module? (i don't have any coding experience)
I wonder if it can also be included in the "Send to a friend" mails and the "Referral Programm" so that no abuse can occur (or at least the receiver can see the IP of the real sender) using these features by spammers,flooders etc.
thanx in advance

It's not as simple as just adding the IP on the order creation since most orders are created by call-backs from payment gateways like paypal, in these cases, you would only store Paypals IP.
The IP needs to be stored on the cart object somehow, and then linked to the order.

I just released a free module for this at http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/63241/

[safa]

Some payment systems of the client's IP address is required.
yes indeed
$_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’];


tomerg3 is right

[tomerg3]

My module saves the correct IP address, not the one of the payment system (fixed in V1.1)

[safa]

orderiplog.php in line 38
$query = 'INSERT INTO `'._DB_PREFIX_.'oil_order_ip_log` VALUES('.$params['cart']->id.',"'.$this->l('IP Address').': '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'")';
I told
This code can be used in the payment module.
examle
'.$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"].'

I fully agree with the Mr.tomerg3 You can generate activation mail as we got in the some website.when ever any new user registered in the Website they Can't do any thing without the activation mail or code.

Never thought about this but sounds to be useful.
One question though, isn't order ip already displayed in 1.3.1 or are we talking about different things here?
