See every featureBlockers 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.
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.
