FAQ
How does the plugin detect fake orders?
The plugin uses multiple detection methods:
– Analyzing checkout completion time (bots typically complete forms unnaturally fast)
– Checking IP addresses against known suspicious sources
– Verifying email domains against disposable email services
– Monitoring pattern of orders from specific users or IPs
Will legitimate customers be affected?
The default settings are carefully calibrated to target only clearly suspicious behavior. You can adjust sensitivity levels in the settings to find the right balance for your store. Normal human checkout behavior will not trigger blocking.
What happens when someone is blocked?
When a suspicious checkout is detected, the plugin displays a customizable error message and prevents order completion. You can customize this message in the plugin settings.
Can I see who has been blocked?
Yes, the plugin includes a comprehensive logging system that records all blocked attempts with details including:
– IP address
– Email address (if provided)
– User ID (if logged in)
– Timestamp
– Reason for blocking
– Cart contents at time of attempted checkout
How do I unblock someone who was incorrectly blocked?
In the Dashboard > Anti Fake Orders > Blocked List section, you can view all currently blocked IPs, emails, and users. Simply select the entry and click “Remove Block” to instantly unblock it.
Is this compatible with caching plugins?
Yes, the plugin functions at the PHP level during the checkout process and is fully compatible with page caching solutions like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, and others.
Does this work with custom checkout pages?
The plugin hooks into WooCommerce’s core checkout process, so it works with most custom checkout implementations that use the standard WooCommerce checkout hooks.
