## Description

**What it does:** Blocks suspicious, rapid-fire checkout attempts so fake orders
and carding bots cannot overwhelm your store. Legit customers still get through.
**
Battle tested:** The Pro edition is trusted by 1,000+ stores; this Lite version 
is a hands-on demo so you can see how it behaves before upgrading.

**Why you might want it:**
 – Protects revenue and inventory from bot abuse and 
testing-card attacks. – Reduces server load from repeated checkout calls. – Gives
you visibility via WooCommerce log files without adding new dashboards (source name:`
cbshield`).

### Features

 * Limits rapid checkout retries from the same visitor.
 * Shows a friendly message when the limit is reached.
 * Works with WooCommerce checkout (Store API).
 * Adds entries to WooCommerce logs for easy review (`WooCommerce  Status  Logs  
   cbshield-*.log`).
 * Runs quietly in the background—no extra setup screens.

### Requirements

 * WordPress 6.8 or later.
 * WooCommerce active.
 * PHP 7.4 or later.

### How to verify it works

 * Place a few quick checkout attempts from the same browser/session; the first 
   attempts should work.
 * Another quick attempt right after should be blocked with “Too many checkout attempts.
   Please try again later.”
 * Check WooCommerce logs (source `cbshield`) to see recorded attempts and any blocks.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/checkout-bot-shield` or install via the
    WordPress plugin uploader.
 2. Activate **Checkout Bot Shield** from **Plugins** in wp-admin.
 3. No setup required—the default limit is active immediately.

## FAQ

### Does this slow down checkout?

No. It only adds a lightweight check when the checkout endpoint is called.

### Can I change the limit?

Yes. Developers can adjust it with a filter. Example to allow 5 quick attempts:

    ```
    add_filter( 'cbshield_checkout_attempt_limit', function () {
        return 5;
    } );
    ```

### Where are the logs?

WooCommerce  Status  Logs, look for files starting with `cbshield-`.

### Does it share data externally?

No. All checks and logs stay on your site.
