  • Useful plugin

    Great plugin, just installed it, hope it will be effective with Cloudflare. Keep up the great work.

  • Stopped Bot Checkout Attacks Immediately

    Super impressed with this plugin with it's ability to stop checkout bots that bypass the reCAPTCHA and target API. I recently did a credit card test via stripe which opened my site up to checkout bots. I also use Cloudflare, but could not configure Cloudflare to stop the bots. So, I was very pleased with how effective this plugin (Checkout Shield for Woocommerce) worked and quick to deploy. Thanks!

  • Only solution that worked

    Thank you!! This works really well. It is blocking so many spam orders. Seems like I tried everything before finding this plugin.

  • Simple, easy and just works great!

    We were flooded by fake orders until this plugin. We just installed and never worried about it again! Thank you so much!

  • Legit Amazing

    I have been wrestling with this for almost a year. I have thrown about 30 different plugins at the problem and nothing worked. Not even a combination of things. I even went as far as to shut off the WooCommerce API entirely, but that only worked on a few sites without blocking all orders entirely.In my case the card testers were part of an IoT botnet of hacked weather cams around the world lol...It's basically just on or off. There is nothing to really configure. I can't recommend this hard enough. 2 minutes to set up and problem solved!!
