See every featureStoreHQ Compliance Scanner audits your storefront for common legal and platform compliance risks. It checks your store policies, cookie and privacy setup, advertising claims, SMS and email consent, auto-renewal and recurring-billing disclosures, and accessibility. The scan is read-only and never changes your store.
A store can be suspended — or its payouts held — over a product, page or blog post that breaks a Shopify rule the merchant never knew existed. Warden checks your catalogue and content against Shopify's Acceptable Use Policy and Payments terms, checks your store setup (policies, contact, SSL), and watches your chargeback ratio against the suspension threshold.
- Checks privacy, return/refund policy, terms, shipping, and cookie consent
- Flags deceptive advertising claims, fake urgency, and hidden fees
- Reviews SMS and email consent and required contact details
- Checks auto-renewal enrollment, cancellation, and renewal-term disclosure
- Flags products, pages and blog posts that risk a ban under Shopify's policies
- Warns before Shopify Payments freezes a payout on a restricted product
- Chargeback-ratio early warning before the suspension threshold
- Every finding links to the exact policy and the exact fix, one click away

How Shoplist compares apps
Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Jul 30, 2026 for StoreHQ, Oct 14, 2026 for Warden. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
