Protect your WooCommerce store from checkout hacks, fake orders and card theft

Running WooCommerce means you’re handling real customer data and real money. That makes your checkout page one of the most targeted parts of your website.

WP Security Ninja helps you lock down your store before attackers inject malware, skim credit cards or abuse your login and checkout.

Protect your revenue. Protect your customers. Protect your reputation.

Credit card thieves love WooCommerce checkout

Why WooCommerce stores are targeted

WooCommerce isn’t just “another plugin.”
It turns your WordPress site into a payment processor.

That means:

Your checkout page can be infected with card-skimming malware (Magecart-style attacks)
Weak admin passwords can lead to full store takeover
Fake user registrations can flood your database
Vulnerable plugins can expose customer data
Bots can hammer login and checkout endpoints
Infected stores get blacklisted by Google and payment providers

If you process payments, you’re a target. Period.

What this means for you

Fewer chargebacks
Fewer refund disputes
Less downtime
Higher customer trust
Peace of mind during sales campaigns
Protection without hiring a security consultant

Coupon Code Protection

Protect your WooCommerce coupon codes

Coupon code protection stops bots and abusers from hammering your checkout with thousands of guesses.

Without it, attackers can brute-force discount codes, steal margin, and hurt real customers’ experience. Security Ninja’s coupon protection limits how many coupon attempts can be made (e.g. per IP or per session), blocks automated abuse, and can log or alert you when someone hits the limit - so your codes stay valid for real promotions instead of being drained by scripts.

Rate Limiting Protection

Rate limiting that actually protects your store

Rate limiting caps how many requests a visitor or IP can send in a given time. That reduces brute-force logins, cart/checkout abuse, and scripted scraping - without blocking normal customers.

Security Ninja lets you define limits for key areas (login, checkout, API, or site-wide) and choose what happens when the limit is exceeded (e.g. delay, block, or log).

You get fewer resource spikes, fewer abuse-driven support issues, and a store that stays responsive under pressure.

404 Guard: see what’s probing your site

Broken links and typos are normal; constant 404s from the same IPs or patterns often aren’t. 404 Guard tracks failed requests to non-existent URLs so you can spot crawlers, bots, or attackers probing for vulnerable paths.
