<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>Smart logging</strong> — choose what gets logged: nothing, blocked attempts only, or everything with full details</li>
<li><strong>Recent blocks feed</strong> — see the last 50 blocked attempts right on your dashboard, with email, payment method, and block reason</li>
<li><strong>Automatic CDN/proxy detection</strong> — correctly identifies visitor IPs behind Cloudflare, Sucuri, or Akamai without manual configuration</li>
<li><strong>Stronger permissive mode</strong> — adds referrer verification on top of session checks for tighter bot detection</li>
<li><strong>Checkout details in logs</strong> — see exactly 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>Order block metabox</strong> — add customers to the blocklist directly from any order screen</li>
</ul>
