Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBlox stops repeat chargebacks, refund abuse, and serial returners before they place another order. On install, Blox imports your order and chargeback history automatically, so customers with past chargebacks are identified from day one. Customers using multiple emails or accounts are merged into one profile. When one merchant flags a fraudster, the community-powered blocklist protects every Blox store.
FairGate helps you keep unwanted, fake, and abusive buyers out of your store. When you identify someone you don't want to sell to — a chargeback risk, a serial returner, a harassing customer, or a fraud attempt — add them to your blocklist and FairGate stops their checkout before the order is placed.
- Block or hold orders from bad customers you've already identified.
- Discover bad customers that you didn't even know existed.
- Auto group customers with multiple accounts (e.g. different emails).
- Easily block any customer without needing complex fraud rules.
- Block checkouts by email, email domain, phone, country, ZIP, or address text
- Add entries individually or paste a list in bulk
- Test any checkout before going live to see if it would be blocked
- Turn protection on or off and publish your blocklist to checkout in one click
