EffectIO Paid Memberships Pro - Akismet Integration 1.0.1

Description:

This plugin integrates the Akismet plugin by Automattic with Paid Memberships Pro. Its purpose is to protect the checkout process of a membership site from spam. By default, Akismet checks a site's comments and certain form submissions against a global database of spam intelligence to prevent the site from publishing malicious content. This integration takes those same comment spam filters and applies them to checkout forms, so checkout form abuse is detected in the same way.

At checkout, the plugin checks the submitted email address against Akismet's world-class spam filters. If a checkout is flagged, membership registration is completely blocked. Payments are not processed for flagged email addresses. The plugin can be used to protect free user registrations as well as paid checkouts.

Site owners running Paid Memberships Pro can use this integration to protect their site from card testing, credit card fraud, fake registrations, and spam. It suits membership sites that want Akismet's spam protection applied to their checkout process, whether they sell paid memberships or offer free registration. Because flagged checkouts are blocked entirely, the plugin helps keep spam and fraudulent activity away from the membership site.
