Remember our original Traffic Light System? You know, the one that gave you a few coloured circles and told you things like “Address failed”?
It was useful, sure, but… it was basically the equivalent of “Computer says no.”
Well, we’ve gone and given it a proper glow-up.
Introducing TLS 2.0, the same reliable checks, but now with a brain, a personality, and an actual plan of action.
Before vs After
Old TLS (1.0)
Just the facts. No context. No guidance.
New TLS 2.0
Clear risk score, colour coding, explanation of why it happened, and exactly what to do next.
What’s new?
Instead of just telling you what went wrong, TLS 2.0:
- Calculates a clear risk score out of 100 so you instantly know where the order stands
- Colour-coded results make it instantly clear which orders are safe, suspicious, or risky
- Tells you what to do next — no more guesswork
- Explains the “why” in plain English, not payment-gateway gibberish
- Distinguishes between fraud, customer error, and just the bank being fussy
Why you’ll love it
- Saves you time — no more sifting through confusing payment results
- Saves you money — catch dodgy orders before you ship
- Saves your sanity — because now you’ll actually understand what the checks mean
TLS 1.0 vs TLS 2.0
Old TLS: “Card failed.”
New TLS: “Card expired. Ask customer to use a different card. Common causes: old card info, customer didn’t notice expiry date. Action: No fraud suspected.”
See? Like night and day. Or red light and green light.

Screenshots are great, but TLS 2.0 has a few clever touches you just can’t capture in a still image.
Here’s a quick demo showing the tooltips and check explanations in action, the extra context that helps you instantly understand what each result means.
Rolling out everywhere
TLS 2.0 is already live in AG Authipay for WooCommerce, and we’re in the process of pushing it to all our plugins.
If yours hasn’t been updated yet, keep your eyes peeled, your payment checks are about to get a promotion.
Give it a whirl
Update your plugin, check your orders, and bask in the warm glow of actually knowing what’s going on.
And if you’ve got ideas to make TLS even better (TLS 3.0: Revenge of the Fraud Checks?), let us know.
