<p><strong>Checkout Shield</strong> stops fake checkout orders and card testing attacks — the kind that bypass your CAPTCHA.</p>
<p>Card testing bots don’t fill out your checkout form. They hit your store’s checkout API directly, completely skipping any reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha you’ve set up. That’s why CAPTCHA alone doesn’t stop them.</p>
<p>This plugin verifies that every checkout request comes from a real browser session. Bots that can’t prove they loaded your checkout page get blocked before WooCommerce processes the order.</p>
<h4>Why Store Owners Choose This Plugin</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Catches what CAPTCHA misses</strong> — blocks bots hitting your checkout API directly</li>
<li><strong>Works with any caching</strong> — LiteSpeed, Cloudflare, WP Rocket, W3TC — no conflicts</li>
<li><strong>Zero configuration</strong> — activate and you’re protected</li>
<li><strong>No external services</strong> — everything runs on your server, no subscriptions</li>
<li><strong>No performance impact</strong> — validation adds microseconds, not seconds</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features (Free)</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic bot blocking</strong> — works the moment you activate, no setup needed</li>
<li><strong>4 protection levels</strong> — Learning, Permissive, Balanced, and Strict — choose how aggressive you want to be</li>
<li><strong>Dashboard overview</strong> — see blocked vs verified orders at a glance with a 7-day chart</li>
<li><strong>Order status tracking</strong> — know which orders were flagged, passed, or blocked</li>
<li><strong>IP whitelist</strong> — let trusted addresses through, supports CIDR notation</li>
<li><strong>API key authentication</strong> — for headless and custom checkout setups</li>
<li><strong>Works with all checkout types</strong> — classic, block-based, and all payment gateways</li>
<li><strong>HPOS compatible</strong> — works with High-Performance Order Storage</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce logging</strong> — full integration with WooCommerce Status logs</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro Features</h4>
<p>Take control with advanced tools:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>3-level logging control</strong> — turn logging off, log blocked attempts only, or log everything</li>
<li><strong>Recent blocks feed</strong> — last 50 blocked attempts on your dashboard with email, payment method, and reason</li>
<li><strong>Automatic CDN/proxy detection</strong> — identifies real visitor IPs behind Cloudflare, Sucuri, or Akamai</li>
<li><strong>Stronger permissive mode</strong> — tighter bot detection with referrer verification</li>
<li><strong>Checkout details in logs</strong> — see which email and payment method bots tried to use</li>
<li><strong>Customer blocklist</strong> — block repeat offenders by email, name, address, phone, IP, or postal code</li>
<li><strong>One-click order blocking</strong> — block a customer directly from any order screen</li>
</ul>

<p>Integrates WooCommerce with BadActors.io fraud detection API to help merchants identify, prevent and report fraudulent orders.</p>
<h3>Review Customers, Prevent Friendly Fraud, and Protect Your E-Commerce Business</h3>
<p>Protect your business from chargeback fraud and return fraud with BadActors. Our merchant-powered fraud detection system flags high-risk orders before they cost you money. When customers abuse chargebacks or return policies, share fraud reports with our network. We\’ll alert you when they order from you, giving you the power to protect your business.</p>
<h3>How it Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>When a customer commits chargeback fraud or return fraud, document the incident directly from your order page. Your fraud report helps protect merchants across our network.</li>
<li>Our system automatically scans every new order against our fraud database, flagging customers with verified fraud reports from other merchants.</li>
<li>Get instant alerts on high-risk orders. Require signature confirmation, add insurance, or cancel suspicious orders. You stay in control.</li>
</ol>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the BadActors API to compare customer information<br />
to our system to find any matching fraud reports.</p>
<p>Basic order information is sent and stored in our system for potential fraud<br />
analysis. That data includes order total, order date, WooCommerce order number,<br />
total order item quantity, and billing postal code.</p>
<p>Additionally, when a merchant submits a fraud review, we store the customer’s<br />
contact information associated with that order, including first and last name,<br />
email, phone number, and billing and shipping address. We never share any of a<br />
customer’s personal contact information with another merchant. It’s stored<br />
exclusively for the purpose of matching their fraud report to other orders<br />
they submit.</p>
