## Description

Precise Expressions Checkout Abuse Protection for WooCommerce helps mitigate automated
checkout abuse and card-testing activity on WooCommerce stores.

This lightweight Lite version provides essential, always-on protection for both 
classic and block checkout without relying on third-party services.

It is designed to reduce automated pressure on checkout endpoints while remaining
simple, privacy-aware, and low-overhead.

### What the Lite Version Protects Against

 * Automated checkout submission bursts.
 * Repeated failed-payment retry attempts (common in card testing).
 * Unrealistically fast checkout submissions (timing signal).
 * Hidden field abuse via an invisible honeypot (classic checkout).
 * Excessive retries from a single IP.

The Lite version focuses on practical mitigation that store owners can enable quickly,
without complex configuration.

### Pro Version

A Pro add-on is available separately for stores that need detailed event logs, alerts,
exports, and advanced reporting. The Lite version is fully functional on its own
and does not require Pro.

### Features (Lite Version)

 * Always-on checkout protection for classic and block checkout.
 * Checkout submission rate limiting.
 * Failed-payment retry throttling.
 * Invisible timing-based bot signal.
 * Invisible honeypot signal (classic checkout only).
 * IP and role allowlist controls.
 * Aggregate dashboard metrics (today / last 7 days / top reasons).
 * No third-party service dependency.
 * Privacy-aware by default (no persistent event logs in Lite).

### Privacy

This plugin:

 * Does **not** send data to third parties.
 * Stores aggregate blocked-attempt counts only (by day and reason) in the Lite 
   version.
 * Does not store raw IP addresses in persistent logs.
 * Stores user-provided allowlist IPs exactly as entered in settings.

The Pro version stores structured event records for reporting purposes, without 
storing raw IP addresses or unnecessary personal data.

## Installation

 1. Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active.
 2. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/precise-expressions-checkout-
    abuse-protection/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins
    screen.
 3. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
 4. Go to WooCommerce > Bot Protection to review settings and run the self-check.

## FAQ

### How do trusted proxies work?

By default, `REMOTE_ADDR` is authoritative. Configure `PE_WCBP_TRUSTED_PROXY_IPS`
or the `pe_wcbp_trusted_proxy_ips` filter only for proxies you operate and trust.
Exact IPv4/IPv6 addresses and CIDR ranges are supported. Forwarded headers are considered
only behind those proxies; the shopper IP allowlist remains exact-IP only. Cloudflare
and reverse-proxy users may need to configure their actual proxy ranges—do not trust
broad private or proxy ranges blindly.

### Will this stop all fraud?

No. This plugin is a mitigation layer designed to reduce automated abuse and card-
testing attempts. It should be used alongside payment gateway risk controls, fraud
prevention settings, and appropriate hosting security measures.

### Does it slow down checkout?

The Lite version is designed to be lightweight and low-overhead. It performs simple
checks before payment processing and stores only aggregate counters.

### Is it compatible with WooCommerce block checkout?

Yes. The Lite version includes Store API checkout protection for rate limiting, 
timing checks, and failed-payment throttling. The classic checkout honeypot signal
applies to classic checkout only.

### Does it require CAPTCHA?

No. The Lite version does not integrate CAPTCHA or third-party anti-bot services.

### Is the Pro version required?

No. The Lite version functions independently and provides essential checkout abuse
mitigation. The Pro add-on provides additional monitoring, reporting, and response
capabilities.
