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.
Storefront Sentry was built by merchants for merchants who needed a real way to stop card testing, checkout bots, unwanted traffic, and content theft. It helps you prevent fraud before it becomes an order with Storefront Guard, then uses Risk Rules to automatically hold or cancel risky orders after completion.
