<p>This plugin prevents a specific set of WooCommerce fake/spam orders.<br />
Simply install and activate the plugin; there are no settings or tweaks to be made unless you want to add your own filters.<br />
The plugin extends WooCommerce’s built-in checkout validations to check for a specific set of known spam email accounts and names. If triggered, the spam bot simply cannot checkout and importantly does not get to the account creation stage.<br />
The names/emails it checks for would only be used by spam bots, so there is no need to worry about false positives.</p>

<h3>How to Use Custom Filters</h3>
<p>Starting from plugin version 0.77, you can extend the list of blocked email domains and blocked customer names using custom filters.</p>
<h3>Available Filters:</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>BSSO_extra_domains:</strong> Add custom email domains to block during the checkout process.</li>
<li><strong>BSSO_extra_names:</strong> Add custom first names to block during the checkout process.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Example Usage</h3>
<p>To use these filters, add code to your theme’s <code>functions.php</code> file or a custom plugin.</p>
<h4>1. Blocking Additional Email Domains</h4>
<p>If you want to block additional email domains like <code>exampledomain.com</code> and <code>spamdomain.net</code>, use the <code>BSSO_extra_domains</code> filter.</p>
<p><strong>Code Example:</strong></p>
<pre><code>add_filter('BSSO_extra_domains', function () {
    return ['exampledomain.com', 'spamdomain.net'];
});
</code></pre>
<h4>2. Blocking Additional First Names</h4>
<p>If you want to block additional first names like <code>spambot</code> and <code>faker</code>, use the <code>BSSO_extra_names</code> filter.</p>
<p><strong>Code Example:</strong></p>
<pre><code>add_filter('BSSO_extra_names', function () {
    return ['spambot', 'faker'];
});
</code></pre>
<h3>Complete Example</h3>
<p>Here’s how you might use both filters together:</p>
<p><strong>Code Example:</strong></p>
<pre><code>add_filter('BSSO_extra_domains', function () {
    return ['exampledomain.com', 'spamdomain.net'];
});

add_filter('BSSO_extra_names', function () {
    return ['spambot', 'faker'];
});
</code></pre>
<h3>Version Compatibility</h3>
<p>Please note that these filters are only available starting from version 0.77 of the plugin. Ensure your plugin is updated to at least this version to use the custom filters.</p>
