<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>

Open Tools

<p>The most flexible and complete solution for your WooCommerce webshop to customize your order numbers!</p>
<p>By default, WooCommerce uses the WordPress post ID of the order, which result in gaps between the order numbers. With this plugin you can configure the order numbers to have consecutive counters. Furthermore, the order number can contain the year, and the counter can be configured to reset each year.</p>
<p>The number format is a simple string, where # indicates the counter.<br />
To get order numbers like “WC-376”, “WC-377”, “WC-378”, etc., simply set the format to “WC-#”.</p>
<p>The plugin comes in two flavors:</p>
<ul>
<li>This <strong>free basic version</strong>, which provides <strong>sequential numbers</strong> and allows arbitrary text (prefix / postfix) in the numbers</li>
<li>The <strong>paid advanced version</strong>, with lots of <strong>additional features</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Counter <strong>formatting</strong>: initial value, counter increments, number padding</li>
<li>Flexible <strong>counter resets</strong></li>
<li>Lots of <strong>variables</strong> to be used in the formats
<ul>
<li>date/time: year, month, day, hour, etc.</li>
<li>address: customer country, zip, name, etc.</li>
<li>order-specific: Number of articles, products, order total etc.</li>
<li>product categories, shipping method</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Custom variable definitions (with conditions on available variables)</li>
<li>Multiple concurrent counters (e.g. numbering per country, per day, per ZIP, …)</li>
<li>Different order numbers for free orders (e.g. “FREE-01” for free orders)</li>
<li>Different number format for e.g. certain IP addresses (for testing)</li>
<li>Different number format depending on products, product categories, shipping classes</li>
<li>Customize invoice numbers (only for the “WooCommerce PDF Invoices and Package Slips” plugin)</li>
<li>Different numbers depending on vendors (WC Product Vendors, WC Vendors and YITH WC Multi Vendor plugins)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
