## Description

Are carding bots and fake orders overwhelming your WooCommerce store?

**Checkout Bot Shield** is a lightweight security plugin designed to block rapid-
fire, suspicious checkout attempts. It stops automated bots from using your store
as a credit card testing ground (carding attacks) and spamming your database with
fake orders—without hurting your real customers’ shopping experience.

This **Lite version** serves as a fully functional checkout rate-limiter, allowing
you to experience reliable bot protection before upgrading to Pro.

### Why Your Store Needs This:

 * **Prevent Carding Attacks:** Stops bots from testing stolen credit cards, saving
   you from high gateway transaction fees and chargebacks.
 * **Reduce Server Load:** Blocks rapid-fire checkout API requests, keeping your
   site fast and stable during an attack.
 * **Zero Complex Setup:** Runs quietly in the background. No complicated configurations
   or complex dashboards required.

### Features

 * **Smart Rate Limiting:** Limits rapid checkout retries from the same visitor 
   session.
 * **Friendly Block Message:** Shows a clean, polite warning when checkout limits
   are exceeded.
 * **WooCommerce Store API Integration:** Fully compatible with modern block-based
   and classic checkouts.
 * **Native WooCommerce Logging:** Check blocked attempts anytime via your native
   WooCommerce logs.

## FAQ

### Does this slow down checkout?

### Can I change the limit?
