LET'S DISCUSS
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

07Work Culture
Why Merchants Trust Us With Fraud Prevention
Blocking fraud is easy, blocking it without turning away good customers is the skill. These are the habits we bring to Shopify fraud prevention app work.
Built on Shopify's own flags
We extend the built-in risk analysis instead of replacing it.
Real review queue
Borderline orders get human review, not an automatic decline.
Bots and card testing stopped
We block the patterns that cost you fees and disputes.
Warehouse holds
High-risk orders can pause at your 3PL instead of shipping.
Tuned over time
We adjust rules as we see false declines and new attacks.
Fixed starting price
Scope and price are clear before we start.
08Overview
Does Shopify stop fraud on its own, and how do I set up real protection?
Shopify assigns orders a low, medium, or high risk level using AVS, CVV, location matching, and device signals, and Shopify Payments can block some high-risk checkouts before an order is created. But for created orders, Shopify doesn't cancel them automatically and doesn't cover chargebacks from ones you fulfill anyway. We add custom rules, a review queue, and can connect flagged orders to your 3PL to hold shipment. Starts from $1,500.

Who it's for
Shopify stores fulfilling high-risk orders without reviewing them
Orders get flagged but nobody acts on the flag before shipping.
Shopify stores wanting custom rules beyond the built-in flag
Shopify's default risk levels don't account for patterns specific to your store.
Shopify stores dealing with bots or card testing
Your checkout is seeing rapid, low-value transaction attempts from bots.
Shopify stores wanting automatic shipment holds
Flagged orders should hold at your 3PL instead of relying on someone to catch them manually.
Shopify stores deciding between an app and a custom setup
You're weighing a fraud filter app against a setup built around your specific order patterns.
Not a fit for
You're not on Shopify. Our Ecommerce Fraud Prevention Services page covers other platforms and custom checkouts.
You want custom fraud scoring logic built from scratch, not a Shopify-native setup. Our Ecommerce Fraud Detection Development page covers that.
You need help disputing chargebacks that already happened, not prevention at checkout. Our Chargeback Management Services page covers that.

Does Shopify stop fraud on its own?
Not fully. Shopify Payments can block some high-risk checkouts before an order is created, but for orders that do get created, Shopify only flags them, it doesn't cancel them or cover the resulting chargebacks.
How do I set up fraud prevention on Shopify?
We configure Shopify's fraud analysis thresholds, add custom rules layered on top, and set up a review queue so flagged orders get checked before fulfillment.
App or custom fraud rules on Shopify: which is better?
A fraud filter app covers general patterns well. Custom rules pay off once you need logic specific to your products, shipping regions, or repeat-abuser patterns.
How do I review flagged Shopify orders?
We set up a review queue so medium and high-risk orders route to a person for a decision, rather than shipping automatically or getting missed on the Orders page.
How do I stop bots and card testing on Shopify checkout?
We add velocity limits, CAPTCHA, and fraud scoring on top of Shopify's checks to catch the rapid, low-value transaction pattern bots and card testing produce.
How much does Shopify fraud prevention setup cost?
Starts from $1,500, scaling up for custom rules, review workflows, or 3PL integration.
How does fraud analysis on Shopify orders work?
Shopify assigns each order a low, medium, or high risk level based on AVS, CVV, location matching, and device signals, and displays a warning on medium and high-risk orders.
Can fraud tools connect to my 3PL to hold shipments?
Yes, we can connect flagged orders to your 3PL so high-risk shipments hold automatically instead of relying on someone catching the flag manually.
