Blacklist Manager – WooCommerce Anti-Fraud, Blacklist & Checkout Verification vs Comment Blacklist Manager

Blacklist Manager is a WooCommerce blacklist, anti-fraud, and spam prevention plugin for stores that need to block fake orders, suspicious customers, spam registrations, and unwanted form submissions. Use blacklist rules for phone numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, and email domains at WooCommerce checkout, registration, comments, product reviews, REST API orders, and supported WordPress forms. Built-in checkout email verification and phone verification can also challenge risky customers before an order is accepted. The plugin works with WooCommerce Classic Checkout, WooCommerce Checkout Blocks, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, and WPForms.

Comment Blacklist Manager retrieves a list of terms from a remote source and updates the disallowed_keys setting in WordPress. The plugin will automatically fetch a list of terms on a regular schedule and update the contents of the “Disallowed Comment Keys” field. Terms added manually via the “Local Blacklist” field will be retained during the scheduled updates. Terms added manually to the “Excluded Terms” field will be removed from the list. The default list of terms is fetched from a GitHub repository maintained by Grant Hutchinson.
