What merchants praise

Great, simple app. Installed it a few days ago and has already saved me from fraudulent customers. Recommended :)

What merchants complain about

Would be a good app if it actually blocked bad customers. All it does is email an alert which is easy to miss prior to processing the order.

Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
