See every featureCartShark protects your Shopify store from hidden threats like hacked plugins and Magecart-style checkout skimming. It scans your site for suspicious code added by apps, third-parties or theme changes, then alerts you instantly if there’s a risk. Set up takes minutes, with no developer or custom code needed. CartShark runs in the background so you can focus on growing your shop, knowing your checkout stays secure.
SecureBite handles both kinds of third-party API call: the ones that would expose your key in page source, and the ones the browser can't make at all because of CORS. Call any API from your storefront. Create proxy routes in the admin to call any HTTPS API. Your keys and headers are injected server-side and never appear in page source, and CORS is handled for you.
- Automatic scanning for harmful scripts and suspicious code edits, 24/7
- Real-time security alerts if CartShark finds any threats on your checkout
- Install in minutes, no technical skills or developer time required
- Proxy third-party API calls without exposing keys in your storefront
- Built on Cloudflare's global edge network
- Scan your live theme for exposed keys
- Keep control over what gets sent. Define the full request body in the app
