Fake orders are usually created by bots — automated scripts that crawl eCommerce websites looking for vulnerable checkout forms. Their goals vary, but often include:
Testing stolen credit cards to see which ones are valid.
Spamming store owners with nonsense submissions.
Exploiting checkout forms for weaknesses or SEO links.
Overloading your site with fake data to harm performance.
Even if no payment is processed, these orders still create clutter and distort your order statistics, conversion rates, and customer data.
Most WooCommerce users start by adding CAPTCHA plugins, reCAPTCHA keys, or basic form blockers. While these can help, bots have become increasingly sophisticated — many can now bypass traditional CAPTCHA systems.
Manual moderation also takes time and doesn’t prevent the spam from hitting your database in the first place. You need a smarter, automated way to block bots before they submit anything.
At Excellence Digital, we built a simple, elegant solution:
Fake Order Blocker for WooCommerce
Our plugin adds a hidden decoy field to your WooCommerce checkout form — something legitimate customers will never see, but bots will. When a bot fills in that hidden field (as they almost always do), the order is automatically blocked.
No more fake orders. No more wasted time. Just clean, verified orders from real customers.
Stop fake orders instantly — Blocks bot submissions at checkout.
No CAPTCHA or user friction — Real customers won’t even notice it’s there.
Lightweight and fast — No bloat, no complex setup.
