See every featureStill getting spam through your Shopify contact form? SEO pitches, sales emails and fake leads flooding your inbox every day? CAPTCHA not stopping it? MUTE works differently — it detects bots through invisible signals and blocks them silently. No reCAPTCHA, no puzzles, no friction for real customers. Enable from your theme settings. No code. Under a minute. 100 blocks a month, free forever. No credit card required.
PromoShield helps merchants reduce unwanted promotional messages submitted through their contact forms.

PromoShield filters these messages automatically before they reach the merchant’s inbox.
