What it does

Online stores and resource sites attract their share of junk activity: spam registrations, test signups, people abusing free products and orders that turn out to be fraudulent. Each one clutters your customer list and can cost you time or money to clean up. This plugin gives you a way to shut out those visitors using rules you control, so your customer records stay cleaner and fewer bad orders get through.

The approach is a blacklist. You add the email IDs, IP addresses, countries, states or zipcodes you want to block, and the plugin applies those rules when someone tries to register, check out or claim a free item. It has settings areas for WordPress, WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads and Contact Form 7, which makes it a fit for ecommerce shops, product catalogs, fashion stores and sites that hand out free resources.

Best for

WooCommerce stores dealing with fake or fraudulent orders
Sites offering free downloads that get abused by spam accounts
Fashion and product catalog shops wanting cleaner customer lists

Features

Email ID blacklisting

Block specific email addresses so known spammers or fake buyers cannot register or place orders on your site again.

IP address blocking

Add IP addresses to your blacklist to stop repeat offenders who keep creating new accounts or submitting junk orders.

Country, state and zipcode rules

Restrict customers by location, blocking whole countries, individual states or particular zipcodes where fake or fraudulent activity keeps coming from.

Spam registration blocking

Prevent spammy and test user signups that pad your customer database or try to exploit free products and resources.

Fraudulent order prevention

Stop orders from blacklisted customers before they go through, which helps cut down on unauthorized purchases and the chargebacks they can cause.

Settings for popular plugins

Separate settings pages cover WordPress, WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads and Contact Form 7, so you can apply blocking where your customers interact.

Administrator-only settings

The blocker settings pages are limited to administrators, so lower-level users such as authors cannot change your blacklist rules.

Lightweight footprint

The plugin is built to stay light, keeping its effect on your site small while it checks visitors against your rules.

Questions about Fake Customer Blocker for WordPress

What can I use to block a customer?

You can create blacklist rules based on email ID, IP address, country, state or zipcode. Mix them as needed, for example blocking a single troublesome email while also restricting a region that keeps producing fake orders.

Does it work with WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads?

Yes. The plugin includes settings pages for WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads, along with WordPress itself and Contact Form 7, so you can apply your blocking rules in those areas of your site.

Will it stop people from abusing my free products?

That is one of its main uses. By blocking spam and test signups from blacklisted emails, IPs or locations, it keeps fake accounts from repeatedly claiming free resources you offer.
