Hi,

I have a "spam" problem.
A visitor from rusland creates 5 new carts per minute.

Adding a product to the cart doesn't use a captcha, but is there a way to prevent users/bots from doing this? (limiting option or something?)

Of course we can set the option to max 1 cart per user, but we need multiple for our real clients.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Unfortunatelly there is no way to block Cart creation spam (via Captcha or else...), and so, there are solutions.

Now, there are a series of possible solutions at the level of HikaShop but not only because there is also and above all to be done first at the level of your Htaccess.
There is already a very detailed thread about this kind of situation, here .

Hope this will bring you solutions to your issue.
Regards

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction,Philip!

At this moment it looks like a crawler which is calling the add to cart button on every page.
I blocked this specific crawler (doesn't seem an important one) and the cart creation stops for now.
