In the last couple of weeks my store has been receiving a large number of abandoned checkouts, where it appears someone is trying to purchase one of my low-priced items and their payment has failed. Every time it’s different details, and it’s coming across to me as if someone is trying numerous stolen cards and so on. But every day I’m having to archive these obviously spam checkouts. Is there any means of preventing this? Thanks.
