What's going wrong
Site owners using this WordPress plugin report that the abandoned cart list fills with thousands of entries that never came from real shoppers. Some see zero-value carts appearing every minute, others see add-to-cart calls from random IPs or fake email addresses, and small stores end up with inflated numbers that hide genuine abandoned sales. Owners have tried captchas and disabling cart tracking without lasting relief. A filter that screens bot traffic before it is recorded, with clear reporting on what was blocked, would give store owners trustworthy numbers.
