SpamBot Buster

SpamBot Buster
Are you getting bombarded with spam messages via your OpenCart Contact Us page?

Or are you receiving more and more fake account registrations on your OpenCart site?

If the answer to above questions is yes then you might be targeted by spambots visiting your OpenCart site.

You can now stop these bad fellows with our new SpamBot Buster tool!


What it does

The SpamBot Buster offers protection for the following pages:
  • Contact Us
  • Account Registration
  • Checkout Registration
  • Checkout Guest
  • Affiliate Registration
  • Product Returns
  • Product Review
  • Forgotten Password
  • Reset Password

It uses a special invisible honeypot trap field to catch spambots whenever one of the above listed forms is submitted.

It can also check for some required mouse/touch/keyboard events which spambots, unlike humans, usually fail to trigger when posting a form.

Future spambot requests coming to your OpenCart server from the same IP-address can optionally be blocked, too, either permanently or for the initial session only.

The installation documentation is great and although there isn't any documentation on how to use it or how it works, the developer responds very promptly to help & answer any questions. Great little extension/mod! Does what it says!
