My humble response....

You want to block orders from those who have not ordered before?

Where is fraud appearing? PayPal? some other like Square (They've changed lately)?

More info please.

$this->enabled = (MODULE_XYZS == 'True');

$numberOrders = zen_count_customer_orders();
if ($numberOrders == 0) {
      $this->enabled = false;
} 

the method, zen_count_customer_orders, looks at all orders including cancelled orders. if that does not work for you, one might need to create a new function, or do something else.

hope that helps.

Yep, I want to remove the option to offer a credit card payment option, which will crush all the one off fraudulent orders that receive the goods, then call their credit card a month later saying I didn't order this, the credit card company then refunds them. In Japan cash on delivery is popular, they can choose that.
