Fake Order Protection for WooCommerce
Stop Fake Orders Before They Reach Your Store
If your WooCommerce store has ever woken up to hundreds of fake orders, suspicious payment attempts, or a flood of bot traffic at checkout — you already know how much damage automated abuse can do before you even notice it. Noventum's Fake Order Protection plugin for WooCommerce is built to stop it at the source. Using a layered detection system — rate limiting, honeypot fields, user agent checks, IP blocking, and optional Google reCAPTCHA v3 — it shuts down checkout bot attacks and card testing while keeping the experience completely smooth for your real customers.
Free to install, and built to work with both the WooCommerce Store API and classic checkout flows. Need Custom Protection Rules? Talk to Noventum.
Protect Your Checkout with Smart Detection
Unlike solutions that monitor only a single checkout method, our plugin protects both Store API and classic wc-ajax checkout flows, ensuring your store stays protected regardless of your theme, payment gateway, or checkout configuration.
Protection is built from several lightweight layers:
Rate limiting for repeated checkout and cart requests.
A hidden honeypot field for simple bot detection.
Checks for suspicious user agents.
Origin and referer validation for checkout requests.
Failed payment retry tracking.
Repeated order amount pattern detection.
Temporary IP blocking for abusive activity.
Optional Google reCAPTCHA v3 verification for higher-risk attempts.
How It Works
When suspicious activity is detected, the plugin can rate-limit the request, require reCAPTCHA verification when enabled, or temporarily block abusive IP activity. Normal checkout traffic can continue without adding friction for every customer.
Administrators can configure the protection mode, reCAPTCHA keys, block duration, trusted API bypass settings, and logging options from the plugin settings page. The plugin also includes basic logs and a blocked IP list so store owners can review protection activity and manually remove blocked IPs when needed.
