Checkout Bot Shield

Opis

What it does: Blocks suspicious, rapid-fire checkout attempts so fake orders and carding bots cannot overwhelm your store. Legit customers still get through.
Battle tested: The Pro edition is trusted by 1,000+ stores; this Lite version is a hands-on demo so you can see how it behaves before upgrading.

Why you might want it:
– Protects revenue and inventory from bot abuse and testing-card attacks.
– Reduces server load from repeated checkout calls.
– Gives you visibility via WooCommerce log files without adding new dashboards (source name: cbshield).

Features

• Limits rapid checkout retries from the same visitor.
• Shows a friendly message when the limit is reached.
• Works with WooCommerce checkout (Store API).
• Adds entries to WooCommerce logs for easy review (WooCommerce → Status → Logs → cbshield-*.log).
• Runs quietly in the background—no extra setup screens.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.8 or later.
• WooCommerce active.
• PHP 7.4 or later.

How to verify it works

• Place a few quick checkout attempts from the same browser/session; the first attempts should work.
• Another quick attempt right after should be blocked with “Too many checkout attempts. Please try again later.”
• Check WooCommerce logs (source cbshield) to see recorded attempts and any blocks.
