Shopify Flagged My Transaction As Fradulent

I ordered a ZSA Moonlander on 2021-11-28. I assumed everything would go well but ZSA informed me the next day that my order has been cancelled because Shopify flagged my order as "high-risk". ZSA gave me this link which lists the parameters that Shopify uses to judge if an order is fradulent. This includes

ZSA Moonlander

how shopify labels fraudsters

whether my billing address is the same as the registered address on my credit card

whether my billing address ZIP code matches what's registered on my credit card

I guess people don't live on rent and change addresses after a few years. If they do, surely they always remember to change their registered address on their credit card.

The most ridiculous criteria, which probably got my order flagged, seems to be

shipping address is 520km from the location of my IP address

My ISP has assigned me an IP address with a location that's more than a thousand kilometers from my actual location. I guess I can't order anything from merchants that use Shopify if I use my broadband connection.
