    Hello,
    I noticed that some bots and in particular from the “serpstatbot” bot receive thousands of additions to the cart. In a single day 1800, in a few days 30000.

    Your plugin also works with Woocommerce and specifically with adding products to the cart. Can your plugin block all of this?

    Thank you

    Hi @woodypad,

    Wordfence can add reCAPTCHA and 2FA protection to WooCommerce login pages, but when adding items to the cart this would be pretty restrictive for genuine users on your site. I have seen examples where adding items to cart can actually be done by bots crawling your site paths that would observe a robots.txt restriction with proven results: https://puri.io/blog/prevent-bots-from-adding-products-to-the-woocommerce-cart/

    However, for further information on potential WooCommerce plugins or settings that could help with bots adding items to incomplete carts, I would recommend reaching out to their support team here on the www.remarpro.com forums.

    Thanks,

    Peter.
