## Beschrijving

**Bot Protector for PayPal for WooCommerce** helps store owners automatically block
bot attacks, checkout spam, card-testing, and PayPal checkout abuse that generates
repeated failed orders.

This plugin monitors suspicious traffic hitting:

 * PayPal checkout requests
 * `wc-ajax=checkout`
 * WooCommerce Store API endpoints
 * Automated card-testing sequences

It then blocks them based on:

 * Adaptive rate limiting
 * Automatic IP banning
 * User-agent and referer validation
 * Optional Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA
 * Logging and monitoring

No setup required — activate it and your store is instantly protected.

### External services

This plugin connects to Cloudflare Turnstile API to verify CAPTCHA responses when
the Turnstile feature is enabled. This service is used to validate that checkout
attempts are made by humans rather than bots.

When Turnstile is enabled, the plugin sends the CAPTCHA response token to Cloudflare’s
servers for verification. This occurs during checkout validation when a customer
submits the checkout form with a Turnstile widget.

This service is provided by Cloudflare: [Terms of Service](https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/),
[Privacy Policy](https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/)

### Features

 * Lightweight bot firewall for PayPal checkout
 * Rate limiting per IP
 * Temporary automatic IP bans
 * Blocks REST-based checkout attacks
 * Blocks PayPal card-testing bots
 * Turnstile CAPTCHA support

## FAQ

### Will it block real customers?

No. It blocks only IPs showing strong bot behavior (no user agent, no referer, too
many attempts, rapid API calls).

### Does it work with any PayPal plugin for WooCommerce?

Yes — it is fully compatible with all PayPal payment gateway plugins.

### Can it prevent API-based card testing?

Yes, it specifically targets automated card-testing and checkout spamming.

### Does it store personal customer data?

No. It logs only basic IP events required for security.

### What data is sent to Cloudflare Turnstile?

When Turnstile CAPTCHA is enabled, the plugin sends the CAPTCHA response token to
Cloudflare for verification. No personal customer data is transmitted.
