How it sells itself

Ancile scores order, checkout, customer, payment and theme activity into one security score. Twenty-one risk rules flag carding bursts, high-value carts from risky IPs, Tor and datacenter traffic and failed payments, and Shopify's own order risk rating and new disputes feed the score. Theme scans catch skimmers and rerun when theme files change. SSL and email DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) are checked for spoofing.

SentryCart checks every new order and flags the ones that look risky, with the reasons behind each. It looks at signals like mismatched billing and shipping locations, disposable emails, large first-time orders, gift-card purchases, and customers you have blocked before. You review the flagged orders and decide whether to hold or fulfill them.

Key points
  • Twenty-one risk rules score every order, cart and checkout in real time
  • Adds Shopify's own fraud rating and every payment dispute to the same score
  • Scans theme files for skimmers and rescans the moment the theme changes
  • Blocks abusive IPs in one click, including repeat offenders
  • Scores every new order for fraud risk automatically
  • Shows the specific reasons behind each risk level in plain English
  • Review flagged orders and block or fulfill them from one dashboard
