      You don’t need to stop them, you just need to make the effort not be worth it compared to using a different site. Things like making sure they have a valid session cookie before they hit the payment flow, and, ideally, require them to be logged in too. That way you can block attacking accounts, and they have to go through the effort of registering a new one, which is, hopefully, well gated against automated attacks.

        Every single attempt registers a new user account, all with fake info. I have been trying all different things to block them but theres no unique data to identify them. I havent had a completed payment from them in a few weeks but I can still see the attempt being made.

        At first, they used valid emails which led to me being banned from gmail because all the order notifications were being reported as spam.
