Hi Guys,

Over the weekend I received 5 orders from "Google StoreBot" each with a MODIFICATION WARNING, they all had different ship-to addresses and email addresses all of which were fakesomething@fakemail.com. Any idea what this is and should I be concerned about it? I assume it is okay to delete these orders, correct?

Thank you,
Brian

These are incomplete, non-paid orders, correct?
When you run google product ads, they will send their bots in occasionally to check to see if your pricing and shipping options match what you show on your ads, so that's all it is, and yes, you can delete, or ignore them.

Hi David,

These are incomplete, non-paid orders. I'm not running google product ads, I haven't for several years. As it is just a Google Bot I will ignore it.

Thanks

Hi Brian, it's odd the bot would come place test orders unless you have some feed with them, even a free non-paid feed they offer.

In any case, just handle them as you would any non paid order that is abandoned.

Thanks,
David

I am getting a bunch of the Google Storebot orders also and I have never done any ads or anything either. They just started about 1 week ago. Someone is trying to hack up the ecommercewebsite sites.

Hi Scott
Unfortunately someone is always trying their luck but all this is taken into account in the cart and measures taken to protect the database. But you can't stop someone just coming along and adding products to the cart and not paying for them.
