Plindor Shield for WooCommerce helps you cut down on fake and duplicate orders by tracking the IP address and billing phone number behind every order placed on your store. When the same customer tries to place too many unconfirmed orders too quickly, Plindor Shield for WooCommerce politely stops them at checkout with a popup instead of letting the order through.

Key features

Tracks every order’s IP address and billing phone number automatically.
Configurable “allowed attempts” before a restriction applies.
Configurable waiting period (in hours) before a restricted customer can order again.
Choose which order statuses count as “confirmed” – once an order reaches one of those statuses, the customer can order again.
Whitelist trusted IPs/phones for unlimited ordering.
Manually block abusive IPs or phone numbers – blocks stay in place until you remove them.
Friendly popup (powered by SweetAlert2) with optional “Call Us” and “Visit our Facebook Page” buttons.
Works with the standard WooCommerce checkout, CartFlows, and custom order forms.
Optional debug logging you can turn on while troubleshooting and off afterwards.
Deactivation keeps your settings and history in place; uninstall removes the plugin’s stored data.

How the restriction works

Is the plugin enabled? If not, every order is allowed.
Is the IP or phone whitelisted? Always allowed.
Is the IP or phone manually blocked? Always blocked, until you remove it from the Block Ip List screen.
Otherwise, Plindor Shield for WooCommerce counts that customer’s previous orders that are not yet in one of your chosen “confirmed” statuses.
If that count is below your “Allowed Attempts” setting, the order goes through.
If the limit has been reached, Plindor Shield for WooCommerce checks whether your configured waiting period has passed since their last order. If it has, the order is allowed. If not, the customer sees the restriction popup and the order is not created.
