Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureOrderGate 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.
You can set rules to prevent certain email domains and name patterns from being able to create accounts or checkout. This helps you prevent emails from getting passed to platforms like Klaviyo that may charge you extra for users. We help you decrease fake account bloat and prevent malicious, fraudulent and fake emails from creating orders so you have less to deal with later on.
