Don’t Fall Victim: Prevent Credit Card Scammers in WooCommerce. No Plugin Needed.
Walkthrough Overview
About This Video Guide
In this comprehensive video I will details how we prevent credit card scams.
We do this with WooCommerce Settings and without yet another plugin or API tool.
We recently had a client targeted with a Credit Card washing scam.
These scammers get a list of credit card numbers and "wash" them through a websites payment gateway.
Using WooCommerce and WordPress we take a couple of simple steps to reduce this kind of fraud.
1. Stop guest checkout
2. Force a user to register and use a link to set a password before checkout
3. Make sure an account cannot be created on checkout.
This reduces the scammers efforts and generally they leave your site to find a better alternative.
I also use Cloudflare enterprise and google captcha using defender to make sure bots can't target the site.
Hope that helps you prevent credit card fraud on your site.
