See every featureFraudToad 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.
Halt protects your checkout from card-testing bots that use stolen cards to make repeated payment attempts. It detects repeat checkouts using the same email, address, or phone and stops suspicious attempts before the card is charged. Add a bait product to trap automated bots, block throwaway email addresses, and see every stopped checkout and why it was blocked.
- 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
- Stops repeat checkouts from the same email, address, or phone in one day
- Works on every Shopify store, including Basic. Nothing to add to checkout
- Starts in watch mode: see what it would stop before it stops anything
- Bait product: a trap item only bots buy, never affects logged-in customers
