Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBot traffic skews your analytics, inflates your ad spend, and corrupts your growth decisions. Kairos delivers both enterprise-grade storefront bot protection and checkout bot protection, verifying every visitor silently in the background. Real shoppers feel nothing, while bots, blocked sessions, and page bounces never reach your analytics. Search, social crawlers, and AI agents pass automatically.
Bots silently damage your Shopify store — faking orders, polluting your Meta and Google pixel data, and bloating your Klaviyo list with contacts that never convert. Bounct automatically detects bot sessions using behavioural fingerprinting and blocks them at checkout. Real customers can verify themselves instantly with a built-in CAPTCHA challenge.
