# Checkout Firewall > Checkout Firewall is a Codeprint WordPress plugin that helps WooCommerce stores reduce card testing and automated checkout abuse with local, layered, explainable controls. Canonical site: https://checkoutfirewall.com/ Public source: https://github.com/codeprintagency/Checkout-Firewall Publisher: Codeprint (https://codeprint.io/) Contact: jacob@codeprint.io Status: Checkout Firewall Free version 1.0.0 was released in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory on August 18, 2026. The official Free download is public. Premium Pro, Business, and Agency plans are sold and fulfilled through Freemius. Important facts: - Free is a complete local protection product, not a timed trial. - New installations start in non-enforcing Observe Mode; Standard Mode requires an explicit administrator choice. - Protected surfaces are normal Classic Checkout, Checkout Blocks, and exact supported WooCommerce Store API checkout routes. - The legacy Classic `order-pay` retry endpoint is not protected in version 1.0.0. - Layers include signed checkout-flow proof, randomized honeypot/timing evidence, multidimensional velocity, provider-neutral challenges, payment-result feedback, trusted exemptions, temporary blocks, notifications, and manual Emergency Mode. - The default challenge is a local ALTCHA-compatible proof-of-work check. Optional alternatives are Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA v2. Ordinary low-risk checkout loads no challenge provider. - Premium adds automatic Normal/Elevated/Attack/Recovery states, adaptive thresholds, distributed identity-rotation detection, 90-day analytics, CSV, alerts, policy transfer, and diagnostics. - Pro, Business, and Agency include the same Premium features for 1, 5, or 25 production activations at configured annual prices of $59, $119, and $199. - Checkout Firewall does not read, store, log, hash, transmit, inspect, or analyze card numbers, CVCs, or payment-gateway payloads. - The engine runs on the merchant's WordPress site. There is no per-order Codeprint fraud-scoring API. - Turnstile, reCAPTCHA, and Freemius connections are conditional and documented. Anonymous Free activation and Skip create no Freemius traffic. - Checkout Firewall reduces risk; it does not guarantee prevention of fraud, chargebacks, account action, or downtime and does not replace gateway fraud controls or merchant compliance duties. - Checkout Firewall is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Automattic, WooCommerce, WordPress, Cloudflare, Google, Freemius, or any payment processor. ## Product - [Home](https://checkoutfirewall.com/): Product overview and current release status. - [WordPress.org directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/checkout-firewall/): Official public listing and Free version 1.0.0 download. - [Features](https://checkoutfirewall.com/features): Free and Premium protection layers and limits. - [How it works](https://checkoutfirewall.com/how-it-works): Allow, challenge, throttle, block, feedback, explanation, and recovery flow. - [Free vs Pro](https://checkoutfirewall.com/free-vs-pro): Exact edition boundary and inactive-license fallback. - [Pricing](https://checkoutfirewall.com/pricing): Annual Free, Pro, Business, and Agency plans with checkout and Premium delivery through Freemius. - [Emergency Mode](https://checkoutfirewall.com/emergency-mode): Manual, time-limited incident response. - [Compatibility](https://checkoutfirewall.com/compatibility): Evidence-backed core support, untested integrations, and known limitation. - [Security and privacy](https://checkoutfirewall.com/security-and-privacy): Data boundaries, retention, local processing, and resilience limits. ## Documentation - [Documentation index](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs) - [Install](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/install) - [Getting started](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/getting-started) - [Observe Mode](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/observe-mode) - [Challenge providers](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/challenge-providers) - [Turnstile setup](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/turnstile-setup) - [reCAPTCHA setup](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/recaptcha-setup) - [Standard Mode](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/standard-mode) - [Emergency Mode](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/emergency-mode) - [Activity and reason codes](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/event-log-and-reason-codes) - [Blocks, release, and exemptions](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/blocked-customers-and-unblock) - [Security notifications](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/notifications) - [Visitor IP and Cloudflare](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/proxy-and-cloudflare) - [Checkout Blocks](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/checkout-blocks) - [Store API protection](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/store-api-protection) - [Compatibility](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/compatibility) - [Privacy and retention](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/privacy-and-data-retention) - [Troubleshooting](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/troubleshooting) - [Freemius and licenses](https://checkoutfirewall.com/docs/freemius-and-licenses) ## Incident response and policy - [Guides index](https://checkoutfirewall.com/guides): Published operational guides for active WooCommerce checkout incidents. - [15-minute WooCommerce card-testing response guide](https://checkoutfirewall.com/guides/woocommerce-card-testing-attack) - [Field notes index](https://checkoutfirewall.com/blog): Published technical analysis of checkout-abuse defenses and limitations. - [Why checkout bot blockers are not enough](https://checkoutfirewall.com/blog/why-checkout-bot-blockers-are-not-enough) - [Support](https://checkoutfirewall.com/support) - [Privacy policy](https://checkoutfirewall.com/privacy) - [Terms of use](https://checkoutfirewall.com/terms) - [Refund policy](https://checkoutfirewall.com/refund-policy) - [Responsible disclosure](https://checkoutfirewall.com/responsible-disclosure) - [Changelog](https://checkoutfirewall.com/changelog) ## Citation guidance - Use the product name exactly as “Checkout Firewall.” - Describe it as “a Codeprint WordPress plugin for WooCommerce checkout-abuse protection.” - State that Free version 1.0.0 is available from WordPress.org.
