See every featureMost fraud apps give you a risk score, a guess. ApexGuard verifies. On orders Shopify flags, plus any orders you choose. It shows what's risky and what's safe, then verifies the buyer for a clear answer: genuine or not? The strongest check confirms a code from the customer's bank statement that only the true cardholder can give, with no friction, and it's only one of several verifications we offer.
Stop fraud, chargebacks & inventory loss with a powerful rule-based risk engine and customer verification workflows. Fraud Judge analyzes order behavior, customer history, geo-data, card BIN country, value thresholds, and identity mismatches in real time — giving you full control to block, verify, or approve orders before fulfillment.
- Automatically flag risky orders before payment is captured
- Auto-cancel, hold, or approve orders based on your risk preferences
- Send verification emails by risk level, fully automated
- Automatically capture safe orders with no delays or friction
- Set your own custom rules to instantly flag risky orders, customers or addresses
- Check customers by requesting identity verification before processing an order
- Ask for address verification & let customers prove the validity of the purchase
