Is this plugin right for you?

Security for WooCommerce is designed to help protect your website by controlling who can access it. Use it to restrict visitors by country or IP address, detect VPN and proxy users, secure downloadable products, scan for malware, and strengthen your WordPress installation.

If your primary concern is fraudulent orders, card testing attacks, stolen payment methods, velocity attacks, or suspicious checkout activity, Anti-Fraud for WooCommerce by OPMC is designed specifically for checkout and payment fraud prevention. Many merchants choose to use both plugins together to protect both their website and their checkout.

Control who can access your store

Prevent unwanted visitors from reaching areas of your WooCommerce store based on country, IP address, visitor behavior, or your own access rules.

Security for WooCommerce helps you reduce unwanted traffic, limit access from regions you do not serve, and protect important parts of the buying journey.

Restrict access by country

Block visitors from selected countries from accessing your site, cart, checkout, products, or categories.

This helps merchants who only sell in specific regions, need to follow regional licensing rules, or want to reduce unwanted traffic from locations they do not serve.

Restrict cart and checkout access

Prevent visitors from blocked countries from reaching the cart and checkout pages.

This helps reduce unwanted orders and checkout attempts from locations where you do not sell.

Restrict selected products

Control which products are available to visitors from restricted locations.

Use product-level restrictions when certain items can only be viewed or sold in approved regions.

Restrict product categories

Apply country-based restrictions to entire WooCommerce product categories with a single setting.

This helps stores with regional product ranges, regulated goods, licensed products, wholesale-only categories, or location-specific catalogs.

Block access during selected times

Restrict access during specific timeframes for visitors from blocked countries.

Use time-based restrictions when you need more control over when visitors can access your store or protected areas.

Block suspicious visitors with IP, VPN, and proxy protection

Fraudsters and unwanted visitors often hide behind VPNs, proxies, or changing IP addresses. Security for WooCommerce helps you identify and restrict this traffic before it reaches key areas of your store.

Detect VPN and proxy traffic

Security for WooCommerce uses visitor IP and location checks to help identify traffic coming through VPNs and proxies.

This gives merchants more visibility and control when visitors may be masking their true location.

Whitelist trusted IP addresses

Allow trusted users, team members, agencies, offices, or partners to access your store from approved IP addresses.

This helps protect sensitive areas while still allowing access for known users.

Blacklist unwanted IP addresses

Block known suspicious IP addresses from accessing your store.

Use IP blacklisting to respond quickly to repeated unwanted traffic, suspicious access attempts, or visitors who should not be allowed through.

Protect WooCommerce downloads and media files

Digital products need stronger protection than a standard public file URL. Security for WooCommerce helps reduce direct access to protected files and gives store owners more control over who can access downloadable content.

Secure downloadable files

Restrict access to downloadable files based on IP access rules.

This helps stores selling digital products, licensed documents, gated files, training materials, PDFs, software downloads, or private resources.

Prevent direct file access

Help stop visitors from accessing protected files directly through a public URL.

This adds another layer of protection for media files and digital assets that should only be available through approved access paths.

Prevent protected files from being indexed

Stop protected files from being exposed through search engine indexing.

This helps reduce the risk of private or paid content appearing in search results.

Harden your WordPress and WooCommerce site

Security for WooCommerce includes practical hardening tools that help reduce common exposure points across your WordPress site.

Scan for malware

Run malware scans to help identify suspicious files and known threats.

Use malware scanning to check your site files and act faster if something looks wrong.

Schedule malware scans

Enable scheduled scans so your store can be checked automatically.

This helps make security monitoring part of your regular store maintenance routine.

Protect sensitive files

Apply safer access rules for sensitive WordPress files, including files that should not be openly accessible.

This helps reduce exposure of important configuration and server files.

Prevent directory listing

Stop visitors from browsing directories that should not be publicly viewable.

Directory listing protection helps prevent people from seeing file and folder structures that could expose unnecessary site information.

Hide your WordPress version

Hide the WordPress version number from public output.

This helps reduce the amount of technical information available to attackers looking for sites running specific WordPress versions.

Strengthen login and admin access

Add extra protection around user access and site entry points.

Add two-factor authentication

Enable two-factor authentication for stronger login protection.

This helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access if a password is guessed, reused, or compromised.

Use passcode protection

Add passcode protection when you want an extra layer of access control.

This helps private stores, restricted areas, internal catalogs, B2B stores, or sites that should only be accessed by approved visitors.

Common use cases

Sell only in selected countries

Block visitors from countries you do not serve and restrict access to checkout, products, or categories.

Protect licensed digital products

Control access to downloadable files and reduce direct access to paid or private content.

Reduce suspicious traffic

Use country restrictions, VPN and proxy checks, and IP blocking to reduce unwanted access attempts.

Manage regional product availability

Restrict specific products or categories when items can only be sold in approved regions.

Protect wholesale or B2B stores

Use IP rules, passcode protection, and access restrictions to keep private catalogs away from public visitors.

Strengthen WordPress security basics

Use malware scanning, directory protection, file access controls, two-factor authentication, and WordPress hardening tools from one plugin.
