Security for WooCommerce

Stop Location Spoofing & Block VPN/Proxy Fraudsters

Security for WooCommerce:

Fraudsters often use VPNs and proxies to hide their identities, putting eCommerce businesses at risk. Security for WooCommerce helps you detect and block high-risk transactions by identifying masked locations and restricting purchases from countries you don’t sell to. While it strengthens your store’s security, it does not protect against velocity attacks. For advanced fraud prevention, check out  Anti-Fraud for Woocommerce.

Key Features

Restrict Sales to a Single Country

If your business operates domestically, you can limit sales to a single country to focus on your target market and block unwanted traffic from other regions.

Allow Only Traffic From one Country

Manually Allow or Block Individual IP Addresses

With Security for WooCommerce, you can manually manage IP access by blocking suspicious users or allowing trusted ones. Add problematic IPs to the Blacklist to prevent fraud, or Whitelist trusted users like admins or virtual assistants for seamless access. This ensures secure, controlled access while protecting your store.restrict access to cart at checkout

Enhanced Site Protection

The comprehensive WooCommerce Security plugin includes features to enhance site protection. It can hide the WordPress version number to prevent attackers from identifying version-specific vulnerabilities. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step. Additionally, a passcode protection feature allows restricted access using a configured username and password. All features are disabled by default.

Scan Malware Manually

Enables on-demand malware scans for your WordPress site, detecting security threats, suspicious code, and compromised files. Users can initiate a detailed scan with one click, receiving results that include the last scan date, infected files with suspected line numbers, and total threats found. The scanner checks PHP files, detects malicious patterns, and compares files against malware signatures, with results stored in the WordPress database and displayed in a table.

Directory and File Protection Settings
These features help keep your site’s folders and files private and secure. Directory Listing Protection blocks people from browsing your folders, while File Indexing Protection prevents search engines from displaying sensitive files. Together, they keep your file structure hidden and your content safe. Both are off by default but can be easily turned on for extra security.
