Can I find out who made a purchase based on IP address?

rcfant89 · Apr 7, 2017

Someone on our company account made a purchase and I want to know who it was. I got the IP address of the purchaser through the company where it was bought.

I'm not looking for any advice on legal ramifications, refunds, anything like that. All I want to know is:

Can I take this IP address I have (and date and time) and find out who it was?

If your employee bought the things outside ur guys ip then you can track him. If he bought it from his home you can see the adress and know who it was

most IP address are not assigned for very long though, they are not static, and you may need court orders for that information to be released.

They don't have a name? Just YourCompany?

Public services like http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup might maybe give you the city. But no closer than that.
For anything closer would require going through the ISP, which will almost certainly require a court order.

Maybe with that IP address you can contact local police department and giving them the IP address would give them a way better pinpoint.
