Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFormGuard stops spam on your Shopify contact form without adding a captcha, so real customers fill it in as usual. Every submission is checked in the visitor's browser for a hidden honeypot field, forms filled too fast, no real typing, repeat submits, and your own blocked keywords and email addresses.
Honeypot Guard protects your contact forms and checkout from spam bots without annoying your customers. Unlike CAPTCHAs, it works invisibly in the background using honeypot fields, time-based analysis, and smart pattern detection. Bots get blocked while real customers submit forms without any extra steps. The app requires zero configuration - just install and it starts protecting immediately.
- Honeypot detection catches bots with invisible form fields
- Time-based filtering blocks instant automated submissions
- Custom keyword blocking for specific words and email addresses
- Invisible honeypot fields that catch bots without affecting real customers
- Smart time-based detection blocks instant bot submissions automatically
- Real-time dashboard shows blocked spam attempts and protection stats
- IP whitelist ensures legitimate customers are never accidentally blocked
