The Only Pre-Checkout Fraud Protection for Shopify

Block fake checkouts
before they cost you.

ShieldFlow stops card testing, bots, and fake orders at checkout — not after. 25 detection rules, device fingerprinting, VAMP monitoring, and email cleanup. The protection Shopify's built-in tools don't give you.

⚠️ VISA VAMP THRESHOLD DROPS TO 1.5% — APRIL 2026

Exceed it and Shopify terminates your Payments account. ShieldFlow is the only app that monitors your dispute ratio and alerts you before you reach the danger zone.

How It Works

Three layers. One goal: stop fraud before it costs you.

LAYER 1

Storefront Fingerprint

Silently collects canvas hash, WebGL, screen, mouse behavior, keystroke timing, and bot signatures — before checkout even starts. No cookies, no popups.

LAYER 2

Checkout Blocking

When the customer clicks "Pay", ShieldFlow scores the checkout in <500ms. Block = checkout stopped. Warn = order held for review. Allow = instant pass. No other app does this.

LAYER 3

Post-Checkout Cleanup

Orders from fraud get auto-cancelled, tagged, and held. Fake email profiles removed from Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend automatically. Express checkout (Shop Pay) covered too.

Features

Everything competitors don't have.

25 detection rules across 6 categories. Every feature built for Shopify's latest APIs.

Pre-Checkout Blocking

Uses Shopify's block_progress API to stop fraud before payment processes. No processing fees on blocked checkouts. No other app does this.

Device Fingerprinting

Canvas hash, WebGL renderer, screen, timezone, hardware — creates a unique device signature. Bots change IPs but can't change their fingerprint.

VAMP Ratio Monitor

Tracks your Visa dispute ratio daily. Alerts at 0.5% (safety buffer). Visa threshold: 1.5%. Only ShieldFlow monitors this — protect your Shopify Payments account.

Behavioral Analysis

Mouse movement patterns, keystroke timing, form fill speed, scroll behavior. Bots complete forms in 0.3 seconds — humans take 10+. We measure the difference.

VPN / Proxy / TOR Detection

Three layers: TOR exit nodes from official Tor Project, 200+ datacenter IP prefixes (AWS, DO, Vultr, Hetzner, OVH), plus optional API for VPN/proxy detection.

Traffic Anomaly Detection

Compares real-time checkout volume to 7-day baseline. 5x spike? Score increases automatically. Email alert sent within 1 hour. Adaptive, not static.

Bot Detection + Honeypot

Detects Puppeteer, Selenium, PhantomJS, webdriver. Hidden honeypot field catches bots that fill every form field — zero false positives.

Email List Cleanup

When a checkout is blocked, fake email profiles auto-removed from Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend, and Shopify Email. Stop paying for bot subscribers.

25 Detection Rules

14 built-in + 11 advanced rules. Rate limiting, email validation, geo-blocking, card testing pattern, order value checks. Every rule tunable with score sliders.

Why ShieldFlow

What others can't do.

ShieldFlow has 5 unique capabilities no competitor offers.

✓ Block at Checkout

Other apps analyze orders after they're created. ShieldFlow blocks before payment — saving processing fees and preventing chargebacks at the source.

✓ Real Fingerprinting

Blockify uses IP blocking. NoFraud uses order data. ShieldFlow collects canvas + WebGL + behavioral signals from the storefront — a true device identity that can't be spoofed.

✓ VAMP Monitoring

No other app tracks your Visa dispute ratio. Visa's threshold drops to 1.5% in April 2026. ShieldFlow monitors daily, sends alerts, shows projections. Protect your payments account.

✓ Email List Cleanup

Bots sign up → Klaviyo fills with garbage → you pay more → deliverability drops. ShieldFlow auto-removes blocked profiles from 4 email platforms. Nobody else does this.

✓ Transparent Scoring

ML-based apps are black boxes — "high risk" with no explanation. ShieldFlow shows exactly which rules triggered, scores, and why. You understand every decision.

✓ Fail-Open Design

If ShieldFlow's backend or Redis is down, checkouts pass through. Legitimate customers are never blocked by infrastructure failures. Your revenue is safe.

FAQ

Common questions.

Will ShieldFlow slow down my checkout?

No. Fraud scoring completes in under 500ms. If our service is ever unavailable, we "fail open" — checkouts pass through. Legitimate customers are never blocked by infrastructure issues.

Does it work with Shop Pay / Apple Pay / Google Pay?

Yes. Express checkout orders that bypass the checkout UI are caught by our server-side safety net via webhooks. Orders are auto-cancelled if flagged as fraud.

How is ShieldFlow different from Blockify?

Blockify blocks visitors (IP/country). ShieldFlow blocks fraud at checkout with device fingerprinting, behavioral analysis, and 25 detection rules. We also offer VAMP monitoring and email cleanup — features Blockify doesn't have.

How is it different from NoFraud / Signifyd?

NoFraud and Signifyd analyze orders after creation (post-order). ShieldFlow blocks at checkout (pre-order). They charge 1% per order or $250+/mo. ShieldFlow starts free. They're black-box ML. ShieldFlow is transparent — you see exactly which rules fired.

What is VAMP and why should I care?

VAMP (Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program) tracks your dispute-to-transaction ratio. The threshold drops to 1.5% in April 2026. Exceed it and Shopify terminates your Payments account. ShieldFlow monitors this daily and alerts you before you're in danger.

Will it block real customers?

Rarely. ShieldFlow uses 25 rules with 20+ signals combined. The verdict is based on the highest score across all triggered rules. You can set suspicious checkouts to "Warn" (hold for review) instead of "Block". You control every threshold.

Do I need Klaviyo to use ShieldFlow?

No. Email cleanup is a bonus feature (Pro plan). Core fraud protection works independently. ShieldFlow also supports Mailchimp, Omnisend, and Shopify Email.

Can I customize the rules?

Yes. 25 built-in rules with adjustable score sliders and thresholds. Plus custom rules with a visual condition builder and 6 templates. Context-aware operators prevent invalid rule configurations.

What happens if I exceed my checkout quota?

Protection pauses — checkouts pass through without fraud checking. Upgrade your plan or wait for the next billing cycle. Your data is never deleted.

Every dollar of fraud costs you $4.61.

Stop it before checkout. Start protecting your store in 2 minutes.
