Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureJA Cart Guard helps store owners stop fake orders, abusive Add to Cart and Checkout activity. It combines Cloudflare Turnstile with IP allow/block lists and country blocking, then applies server-side cart and checkout validation. Store owners control the rules from the embedded app and can choose whether protection applies to checkout only or to both cart and checkout.
OrderGate turns away buyers you have blocked inside Shopify's own checkout validation, so the order is never created: nothing to cancel, refund or restock. Rules on exact email, wildcard pattern, domain, phone, name, address, country, state, city, postal prefix and customer tag, each with its own rejection message. Log-only mode reports what a rule would have stopped before you enforce it.
- Block Add to Cart and Checkout attempts from selected countries
- Mitigate automated Fake Orders created by bad bots
- Allow or block specific IP addresses with simple merchant-managed lists
- Verify shoppers with Cloudflare Turnstile before protected cart actions
- Blocks inside checkout validation, so the order is never created at all
- Rules for email, wildcard, domain and subdomains, country, city, ZIP, tag
- Log-only mode reports what your rules would have blocked before you enforce
- Your own rejection wording, shown against the checkout field that caused it
