    Bot filling a basket

    I've got a sporadic problem where a bot is filling a basket, currently over 1200 items and $54k+ value, and I'd like to add a custom basket field that captures the customer IP address and show it on the Review Baskets page in the admin, so I can easily add it to a block list.

    I found two sources of info in the docs that point me in the right direction, but I don't have the chops to add that custom field to the Review Baskets page. Those sources are:
    https://docs.miva.com/videos/custom-basket-fields
    https://docs.miva.com/developer/deve...elds/?h=basket

    Following the info in the links, I think I can figure out how to at least capture the IP address of the bot, but how to display that on the Review Baskets page is my challenge. Help?

    Yea, that's not going to be doable AFAIK. Plus, playing Wack-A-Mole is a fool's game :)
    I think you need another stratagy.
    Maybe something like

    Max basket = 10
    Basket Count (miva created variable)
    If Add to Basket and Basket Count GT Max Basket
    Create a popup (maybe try just using browser alert) which says "Are you sure you want to add this to your cart"

    The popup doesn't have to do anything other than interrupt the flow.
    Not sure this will work, but its simple enough to warrant a try.
