<h2>Security for WooCommerce:</h2>
<p>Fraudsters often use VPNs and proxies to hide their identities, putting eCommerce businesses at risk. <strong data-start="102" data-end="130">Security for WooCommerce</strong> helps you detect and block high-risk transactions by identifying masked locations and restricting purchases from countries you don’t sell to. While it strengthens your store’s security, it does not protect against velocity attacks. For advanced fraud prevention, check out <a href="//woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-anti-fraud/" rel="noopener" data-start="404" data-end="431"> Anti-Fraud for Woocommerce</a>.</p>

<h3><strong>Restrict Sales to a Single Country</strong></h3>
<p>If your business operates domestically, you can limit sales to a single country to focus on your target market and block unwanted traffic from other regions.</p>

<h3><strong>Manually Allow or Block Individual IP Addresses</strong></h3>
<p>With<strong> Security for WooCommerce,</strong> you can manually manage IP access by blocking suspicious users or allowing trusted ones. Add problematic IPs to the Blacklist to prevent fraud, or Whitelist trusted users like admins or virtual assistants for seamless access. This ensures secure, controlled access while protecting your store.<img class="alignnone wp-image-18734004756439" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/RandomIps.webp?w=896" alt="restrict access to cart at checkout" width="693" height="390" /><br />
