Checkout Shield for WooCommerce – Stop Fake Orders, Spam Bots & Card Testing

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 400+ in roughly 64 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   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!

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

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

   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!!
