This plugin will add the functionality to black list the customer from checking out.

== Description ==
An extension for the WooCommerce that allows for the blacklisting customer details (Billing Phone, Billing Email and IP address). Admin can blacklist the customer information manually through the setting or can edit the order page and black the customer's details into blacklist.

Another key features of this plugin is that it tracks the number of fraud order attempts for payment gateways like Credit Card, Electronic Check and blacklist the customer if the number of fraud attempts exceeds the limit set in the backend setting.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can i add zipcode or city Address in the blacklist ? =
No. Only Billing phone, email and IP address. Planning to add those features in next update.

= How do we blacklist the customer's detail ? =
There are three ways to black list the customer. First, open the order edit page, choose the option "Blacklist Customer" in the "order actions" section and update the order page and it will add the customer's details into blacklist. Second, navigate to Woocommerce > Settings > Blacklisted Customers tab. You will see three different textarea fields for "Email" "Phones" & "IP Address". You can manually edit those setting to update the blacklisted customers.

= Is there auto blacklisting system as well ? =
Yes, there is. But this auto system will be in action only for those payment gateways which authorizes the payment details and charge instantly (Electronic Check, Credit Card) etc.

= What is the process for automatic blacklisting system ? =
Let us take an example of Electronic check payment gateway. When customer successfully validates the payment fields like "Route Number", "Account Number" & "Check Number" fields, those values will be sent for authorizing. If Bank couldn't authorize those customer details, the woo commerce will mark the order as "Failed". Then, same customer may try to create the multiple number of "Failed" orders. This plugin will track that behavior and black list the customer from future checkout.

= Can i remove the customer details from blacklist ? =
Yes, absolutely. You can either edit the setting option in "Woocommerce > Setting > Blacklisted Customers" or you can do it from the order edit page under "Order Actions" option.

= Can i prevent the customer based on their previous order status ? =
Yes, absolutely. You can choose the multiple orders statuses in setting and this is completely compatible with <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-order-status-manager/" target="_blank">WooCommerce Order Status Manager</a>.
