PrestaShop Cart protection pro

Are your cart statistics distorted by fake, abandoned orders generated by bots? Are you struggling with unwanted database load that slows down your store and distorts key conversion metrics, such as the cart abandonment rate?

We present the module Cart Protection Pro, an advanced, multi-level defense system designed to effectively eliminate fake carts and protect your PrestaShop store from automated spam attacks. This allows you to gain clean analytical data and a stable and efficient e-commerce environment.

Advanced Algorithm: How does the module eliminate spam bot cart creation?

The module Cart Protection Pro uses a proprietary, sophisticated behavioral algorithm that constantly analyzes traffic in your store in real-time. It focuses on unnatural event sequences related to adding products to the cart and its creation. If the system detects sudden, automated, or excessive activity typical of bots, it takes immediate action, neutralizing the threat before a fake cart is saved to the database and overloads the server. This action is invisible to real customers.

Full Personalization of the Defense Strategy and Attack Reaction

Module configuration offers total control over the anti-spam filter sensitivity. As a store owner, you can precisely set critical values (e.g., the number of actions in a given minute) that will be considered spam. You decide the level and type of reaction the system will take against the identified bot:

1. Automatic Banning of Visitors (IP Blockade)

   The banned IP address is completely blocked. It loses the ability not only to create carts but also to browse your website, which radically eliminates the problem. We provide full control over the ban list – you can manage it manually and also unban visitors, if necessary.

2. Blocking the Cart Creation Process Only (Soft Block)

   An IP address considered spam immediately loses the right to create further carts, but still retains the ability to browse the store's offer. This is a less invasive option, ideal for testing filter sensitivity without a total IP block.

3. Email Notifications about Attack Attempts

   When the module identifies an attempt to create a fake cart, you will receive an immediate email notification containing details about the attacker (including IP address) and the chronology of their attempts. This allows for quick manual analysis and intervention if the algorithm deems it necessary.

4. Redirecting Spam Traffic (Bot Disorientation)

   The identified bot can be automatically redirected (e.g., to a default search engine), which effectively disorients the spam system. Many bots are programmed to stop attacking the site if they receive a 301 redirect code, which terminates further attack attempts.

5. Support for Global Spam Database: StopForumSpam API

   The module is fully ready to work with the StopForumSpam API. This allows for instant verification of a visitor's IP address against the global blacklist of spam addresses. If the IP is on the list, the system can automatically take the action you define (e.g., banning).

Investment Justification: Why is Cart Protection Pro Essential for Your Store?

1. Crystal-Clear Analytical Data

Eliminating fake carts means your key metrics, such as abandonment statistics, conversion rates, and server load, are based solely on authentic customer traffic. This allows for making accurate and profitable business decisions based on reliable data.

2. Unquestionable Server Resource Protection

The continuous, automated creation of thousands of fake carts (often with product samples) burdens both the database and the server's computing power. The module immediately blocks malicious traffic, ensuring optimal performance and speed for real customers, which is critical, especially during peak sales periods.

3. Advanced Defense Mechanisms (Beyond CAPTCHA)

The combination of internal behavioral analysis with the ability to integrate with global spam databases (StopForumSpam) provides you with two-tiered, proactive, and reliable protection that static solutions like CAPTCHA or simple URL blocks cannot offer. The module acts before the bot can cause damage.

Secure your e-commerce against the hidden costs of spam and instability. Invest in Cart Protection Pro and enjoy clean data and stable operation of your store.
