E-commerce Bad Bot Defense

I run an e-commerce site that is increasingly targeted by automated scripts creating bogus accounts and bogus orders. Even with CAPTCHA challenges in place and an existing Cloudflare setup, the most persistent bots are still slipping through and costing us time, money, and customer trust. I want a focused solution that actually stops these actors without degrading the experience for legitimate shoppers. This may involve tightening Cloudflare rules, introducing server-side or JavaScript fingerprinting, rate-limiting sensitive endpoints, or any other technique you know works in production at scale. Deliverables I need from you • A quick but thorough audit of current defences (CAPTCHA, Cloudflare settings, server logs) and a short report of weak spots. • Implementation or configuration changes that block or throttle the bots responsible for fake sign-ups and orders. • A lightweight monitoring method so we can verify drops in bot traffic over the first week. • Clear, step-by-step documentation of what was changed so my team can maintain it going forward. I will provide access to Cloudflare, the application firewall, and anonymised logs on request. Your solution must not break our checkout flow or SEO. If you have delivered similar e-commerce bot mitigations before, tell me briefly what you did and the measurable impact you achieved.
