BlocklyGuides to protect & grow your Shopify store
Practical playbooks on fraud prevention, checkout optimization and EU compliance — written by the team behind our apps.
A Fraud-Review SOP Template for Your Team
Consistent fraud decisions come from a documented process, not gut feel. Here is a ready-to-adapt SOP — roles, review steps, decision criteria, and escalation — you can copy today.
Rate Limiting Your Shopify Storefront Against Bots
Rate limiting stops bots without hurting shoppers — if you get the thresholds right. Learn per-IP and per-session limits, burst vs sustained, challenge vs block, and false positives.
Cross-Border Fraud Prevention
Selling internationally multiplies your revenue and your fraud surface. Geo mismatches, freight forwarders, and AVS gaps all get harder abroad. Here is how to set per-market rules that scale.
Block VPNs Without Killing Conversions
VPN traffic hides fraud — but plenty of real shoppers use VPNs too. Learn when to challenge versus hard-block, how to allow legitimate VPN users, and how to measure the impact.
Compliance: EU Marketplace vs. Your Webshop
Selling on Amazon or Etsy is not the same as selling on your own Shopify store when it comes to legal duties. Here is who holds which obligations on a marketplace versus your own webshop.
Detecting Account Takeover on Shopify Stores
Account takeover turns loyal customers into fraud losses. Learn the signals that expose credential stuffing, new-device logins, and rapid detail changes, plus layered mitigations.
A Fraud Case Log in Notion or Airtable
A structured case log turns scattered fraud decisions into an asset you can learn from. Here is a reusable schema, a clear status workflow, and how to link cases to orders in Notion or Airtable.
The Shopify Fraud Prevention Glossary
A skimmable reference to the fraud terms every Shopify merchant runs into — AVS, CVV, chargebacks, representment, friendly fraud, velocity, ATO, BIN, 3DS, MCC, and more.
A Full Shopify Store Security Audit Checklist
When did you last check who has admin access, which apps can read your orders, or whether your fraud rules still fit your volume? This end-to-end audit checklist covers access, apps, fraud rules, content, and compliance.
Stopping Automated Checkout Bots
Checkout bots snap up limited drops, hoard inventory, and test stolen cards faster than any human. Learn the signals that expose automation and how to block bots at checkout with challenges and Shopify Functions.
Account Sharing & Password Abuse
One login, ten people, and every perk drained. Shared-account abuse quietly erodes loyalty programs, member pricing, and one-per-customer offers. Here is how to spot it with device and geo signals.
How to Balance Fraud Prevention and Conversion on Shopify
Block too little and fraud eats your margin; block too much and you turn away real buyers. This guide shows how to measure the trade-off, when to challenge instead of block, and how to tune rules for revenue.
