Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureGuardly is AI return-abuse protection for Shopify. It reads your order and refund history and scores every customer for abuse risk — serial returners, "item not received" claims, refund velocity, refund-to-original patterns, and total dollars at risk. Start with an audit showing your abuse rate, the dollars exposed, and the customers behind it.
WarrantyBrain starts with a read-only scan of your Shopify history. It shows where claim and return dollars are concentrating and gives one of four honest answers: a pattern worth money, a clean result on what it checked, what evidence is still needed, or a clear notice that the scan failed. Then every claim arrives prepared: the policy clause that applies, the customer's claim history, and a recommended resolution.
- Audit of your abuse rate, dollar exposure, and repeat-abuser breakdown
- AI risk score per customer: serial returns, INR claims, refund velocity
- Enforcement rules: require evidence, restrict refunds, or flag for review
- AI fraud detection blocks suspicious claims and routes risky ones for review
- Automatic disposition approves, denies, or escalates with full AI reasoning
- Merchant dashboard with claim queue, analytics, and one-click approvals
- AI gets smarter with every claim - your fraud model learns your store's patterns

How Shoplist compares apps
Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
