    What merchants praise

    “Initially i was stunned by the pricing, however after sending feedback to the developer, they immediately replied and were very helpful. They went out their way to enable settings and allow be to be on the normal plan with other settings turned on. They replied to emails within a matter of a hour tops, very quick. And app is working perfectly. Will be using them long term”

    What merchants complain about

    “As an early adopter, this app became a vital part of our shopify store. Unfortunately, Dylan has subsequently increased the pricing by over 100% which makes the product entirely unviable for a low margin business like ours. If you can afford the prices (or double the current advertised price going off past behaviour) then sure, this is a great solution. Otherwise, back to search the shopify app store for an alternative.”

With Real ID, you can verify your customers identities before or after checkout. Save incorrectly flagged high risk orders, and protect your revenue from chargebacks.
