My ecommerce spike was bots, not buyers

No good feeling. Black Friday I think 200 orders, celebrate, then payment processor call me. All bots. Card testing attack.

On server I run WooCommerce, malý server at racknerd.com. Into config I put nothing special, my fault. Payment processor say "fix or we drop you".

I find vultr.com fraud tool but is $89/month, too much for me. Hej, what you use?

No money for expensive solution.

boot anything, anywhere, anytime

The same happened to me bro

Receive a lot of fake orders, definitely bots

Im on cheapest interserver.net plan $2.50/mo lol no fraud tools included

My fix: Cloudflare free tier, challenge for checkout page. Not perfect but free

$0 > $89

Seriously tho PetraSuper, crypto payments solve this. No chargebacks, no card testing. Privacy coins mean bots have no cards to test.

I use a WooCommerce plugin for Monero, custom. Bots cant fake what they dont have.
