 * Recently I notice 100s of ghost cart in a day. One every minute almost. My web
   traffic is 3000 per month. Hence it is impossible to have such a huge ghost cart.
 * I suspect that it’s a bug. I ruled out the possibility of being crawled by the
   bots and I did checked this through different tools.

 * It looks like that you’re adding the fake cart items without any user on the 
   website to entice the free plugin users to get your pro one. 🙂 Will I get the
   phone number of all these 100s of users every day if I take your PRO PLUGIN? 
   😛 Just kidding.

 * Please fix this.

 * Hi [@segrand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/segrand/),
 * Thansk for reaching out.
    CartBounty does not generate any carts, simply saves
   data that is coming in 🙂 Your store seems to be heavily visited by harmful bots
   and upgrading to Pro version will not prevent these bots from coming to your 
   store and poking around your store.
 * Please take a look at this FAQ for information about ghost carts and bots: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-save-abandoned-carts/#how%20to%20prevent%20bots%20from%20leaving%20ghost%20carts%3F](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-save-abandoned-carts/#how%20to%20prevent%20bots%20from%20leaving%20ghost%20carts%3F)
 * Let me know if you need additional assistance.
 * Best,
    Nauris

 * Great thanks! I can see the bot hitting the website from Sweden. Thanks for the
   information.
 * Based on your article, I am using Blackhole for Bad Bots. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/blackhole-bad-bots](https://wordpress.org/plugins/blackhole-bad-bots)
 * Let’s see if it can build a gate for the bad bots.
 * Cheers, PS

 * Yes, that plugin really does a good job preventing automated bot attacks from
   scraping your store and looking for ways to take over your store.
 * You may also want to reach out to your hosting provider and see if maybe they
   have a better solution that can protect the server by preventing bots from visiting
   your store.
 * Cheers! 🙂
