See every featureFraudGuard blocks risky and unwanted visitors before they interact with your store. You can block countries, provinces, or IPs using our rule based system. We. will redirect these users so that they won't be able to interact with your store. Our visitor analytics helps you monitor traffic to see which rules need to be added or removed.
Blockers stop visitors before checkout. Fraud Rules Guard checks the orders that get through. Write plain rules on Shopify risk level, order total, email pattern, disposable email domain, IP address, or billing and shipping country mismatch. Each rule cancels the order with refund and restock, tags it for review, or only logs it. Start with tag-only and turn on auto-cancel when you trust your rules.
