Running a multi-vendor marketplace on Dokan and WooCommerce? Spam accounts are one of the biggest silent threats to your platform — fake vendors, bot registrations, and disposable email sign-ups waste your time, pollute your database, and damage your marketplace’s credibility. 
Sakthi Guard fills the gap. It adds a dedicated, intelligent spam-prevention layer specifically designed for Dokan seller and WooCommerce customer registration flows — something neither platform provides out of the box.
🛡️ Why Marketplace Owners Choose Sakthi Guard 
Most spam plugins are built for blogs or simple contact forms. Sakthi Guard is purpose-built for multi-vendor marketplaces, where the stakes are higher — a single fake vendor can list fraudulent products, harm real buyers, and erode trust in your entire platform.
✅ What Sakthi Guard Does 
Sakthi Guard quietly validates every registration attempt before an account is ever created, using a layered defence strategy: 
Bot & Automation Detection
Honeypot field — invisible to real users, instantly catches bots filling hidden fields 
Minimum form completion time — flags suspiciously fast (automated) submissions 
Browser JavaScript token — verifies that the registration originates from a real browser session
Identity & Email Validation
Disposable & blocked email domain filtering — rejects registrations using throwaway email services 
Suspicious username scoring — analyses username patterns commonly associated with spam accounts 
IP-based rate limiting — prevents repeated registration attempts from the same source
Dokan Seller-Specific Checks
Store name & shop URL validation — catches nonsensical or keyword-stuffed vendor store names 
Suspicious keyword detection — flags vendor profiles using patterns commonly associated with spam sellers 
Phone number checks — validates seller contact details at the point of registration
Management & Monitoring
Monitor mode — observe and log suspicious activity without blocking, perfect for testing before going live 
Lightweight admin logs — clear, readable records of every blocked or flagged registration attempt 
Existing spam user scan — audit accounts that already exist in your database 
Safe quarantine & delete actions — review high-confidence spam accounts and remove them safely, without affecting legitimate users
🔧 Built the Right Way
Zero core file modifications — Sakthi Guard works entirely through standard WordPress and Dokan hooks. Your existing setup is never touched. 
Lightweight footprint — protection runs efficiently without slowing down your registration pages 
Independent third-party plugin — compatible with standard Dokan and WooCommerce installations
👤 Who Is This For? 
Sakthi Guard is ideal for:
Dokan marketplace administrators tired of manually reviewing and deleting fake vendor applications 
WooCommerce store owners looking to block bot-driven customer account creation 
Marketplace managers who need audit logs and quarantine tools to stay in control 
Developers & agencies managing client marketplaces who want a configurable, non-destructive spam layer
📌 Important Note 
Sakthi Guard is an independent, third-party companion plugin. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the owners of Dokan, WooCommerce, or WordPress.
