Checkout Shield stops fake checkout orders and card testing attacks — the kind that bypass your CAPTCHA.
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.
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.
