Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCard testers try stolen cards at checkout until one is approved. Those attempts still reach your payment processor unless Shopify stops them first. Checkout Firewall turns your block list, trust list, and shared fraud matches into a checkout rule. A match can be stopped before payment. The app never sees card numbers. Checkout never calls an outside service.
FraudToad looks for card testing: stolen cards run through cheap orders, one new account at a time. It links each order to your other recent orders by card, IP address, email, customer and browser, scores it with rules you can read and adjust, and holds, cancels or blocks it. It starts in shadow mode: it only tags risky orders and shows what it would have done until you switch it on.
- Card-testing matches are stopped in checkout, before payment is attempted.
- Monitor only logs checkouts that would be blocked. Buyers are not stopped.
- Block or trust an email, phone, or address for this store only.
- Get an email when a card-testing attack is detected on your store.
- Scores each order against recent ones by shared card, IP, email and browser
- Holds risky orders for review with every rule that fired and why
- Voids card tests before capture and sweeps up the rest of the burst
- Checkout lock and card hiding stop testers before they can pay
