IP Blocking Is Already Outdated. Here's What Works.

Every fraud app blocks IPs. Fraudsters know this — they rotate IPs in seconds with $2/month VPNs. Browsify assigns each visitor a persistent Visitor ID based on 50+ device signals. New IP, cleared cookies, incognito mode — same Visitor ID, same block.

Visitor ID fraud detection for Shopify

Visitor ID: The Signal IPs Can't Fake

Every visitor gets a unique Visitor ID that stays the same across IP changes, VPNs, incognito mode, and cookie clears. One block follows the fraudster everywhere — no matter how they try to come back.

VPN proxy TOR detection for Shopify

VPN, Proxy & TOR Detection Built-In

Real-time detection of VPN connections, residential proxies, datacenter IPs, and TOR exit nodes. Flag or auto-block high-risk visitors before they reach checkout — not after.

Automated Shopify fraud blocking

Auto-Block with Fraud Score

Each visitor gets a real-time fraud score based on behavior patterns, device signals, and network analysis. Set your threshold — Browsify auto-blocks high-risk visitors 24/7 without manual review.

Fake Orders Are Destroying Your Ad Pixel

Every fake order on your Shopify store triggers your Meta Pixel, Google Ads tag, and TikTok Pixel. Your ad platforms learn from these fake conversions — targeting more people like the fraudsters instead of real buyers. The result? Higher CPA, lower ROAS, and wasted ad budget that compounds every day.

Pixel Pollution Fake conversions teach your pixel the wrong audience signals. Meta, Google, and TikTok optimize toward fraud — not real customers.
Wasted Ad Spend Polluted pixel data means your ads reach the wrong people. CPA rises, ROAS drops — and you don't know why until thousands are wasted.
Browsify's Solution: Block Before Pixel Fires Visitor ID detects fake buyers before they reach checkout. Your pixel never fires for fraudulent visitors — keeping your ad data clean and your campaigns profitable.
How Fake Orders Pollute Your Pixels
1
Fraudster places fake order
Uses stolen card, fake info, VPN/proxy
2
Your pixel fires a "Purchase" event
Meta, Google & TikTok record this as a real conversion
3
Pixel learns wrong audience
Ad algorithm optimizes toward fraudster profiles
4
Your ads waste money on wrong people
CPA increases, ROAS drops, real customers never see your ads
With Browsify: Visitor ID blocks fake buyers before checkout — pixel stays clean
Meta Ads pixel protection Meta Ads Protected
Google Ads pixel protection Google Ads Protected
TikTok Ads pixel protection TikTok Ads Protected
How Bots Drain Your AI Chat Budget
1
Bot opens your AI chat widget
Automated scripts or spam visitors trigger your chatbot
2
Sends hundreds of messages
Each message costs AI tokens — bots send them in bulk
3
Your AI bill skyrockets overnight
$50/day in tokens wasted on zero real customers
With Browsify: real-time bot blocker stops bots before they reach your chat — tokens stay safe

Bots Are Draining Your AI Chat Budget

If your Shopify store uses an AI chatbot (Tidio, Gorgias AI, ChatGPT widget, or any LLM-powered assistant), every message costs you tokens. Bots and bad actors can spam your chat widget with hundreds of messages, burning through your AI budget in hours — with zero sales to show for it.

Token Drain Attacks Automated bots flood your AI chat, sending hundreds of messages. Each one costs tokens — and your monthly bill explodes without a single real customer served.
Competitor Scraping via Chat Competitors use your AI assistant to extract your pricing, policies, and product info — your chatbot hands them everything for free.
Built-in Bot Protection Stops Chat Abuse Browsify automatically stops bots and bad actors before they can abuse your chat widget. No bot access = no wasted tokens.

Why Fraudsters Can't Hide from Visitor ID

IP changes, VPNs, incognito mode, new browsers — none of it works. Visitor ID tracks the device, not the connection. Once a fraudster is flagged, they stay blocked.

Browsify Visitor ID fingerprinting

What is Visitor ID?

Visitor ID is a unique identifier assigned to each visitor based on their device fingerprint. Even if they change IPs, use a VPN, switch to incognito mode, or clear cookies, Browsify consistently recognizes the same device on your Shopify store.

How Does Visitor ID Protect Your Shopify Store?

Unique device identification Assigns a unique ID to every device visiting your store.
Cross-browser tracking Stays the same across browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
Persistent tracking Persists through cookie clears, browser resets, and settings changes.
Cookie-free tracking Tracks visitors securely without relying on cookies or IPs.

What Merchants Say After Using Browsify

Real results from real Shopify store owners.

$2,800 saved in chargebacks

"Every week I was getting 10-15 orders that looked real — different names, different emails — but they were all the same person using stolen credit cards. I'd ship the products, then get hit with chargebacks. After I installed Browsify, it recognized it was the same device every time. One click to block, and I haven't had a single fake order in 3 months."

Sarah M.
Sarah M. Fashion Boutique, Shopify Plus
★★★★★
Ad costs cut in half in one week

"My Facebook ads were getting way more expensive and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out fake visitors were clicking 'Buy Now' on my store, which made Facebook think those were real customers and started showing my ads to more people like them — scammers. After Browsify blocked those visitors, my ad costs dropped back to normal within a week."

James T.
James T. DTC Electronics Brand
★★★★★
6 fraud orders caught automatically last month

"I found my exact product photos on another website — someone was copying everything from my store. Browsify stopped that with one toggle. But what really surprised me was the fraud blocking — it flagged 6 orders on its own that turned out to be stolen cards. I didn't have to do anything, it just worked."

Emily R.
Emily R. Handmade Jewelry Store
★★★★★
Sold out fairly for the first time ever

"We sell limited sneakers and every time we dropped a new collection, it sold out in seconds — but not to real people. Resellers were using software to buy everything before anyone else could. Browsify blocked those automated buyers, and for the first time our actual fans got to buy. Our Instagram was full of happy customers instead of complaints."

Michael L.
Michael L. Limited Edition Sneakers
★★★★★
Sales nearly doubled same traffic, better results

"I wasn't even looking for fraud protection — I just wanted to understand my traffic better. Browsify showed me that almost a third of my visitors were from countries I don't even ship to. I blocked those regions and suddenly my store went from 1 sale per 100 visitors to almost 2. Same ad budget, nearly double the sales."

Shopify Bot & Fraud
Protection FAQ

Common questions about blocking bots, AI crawlers, and fake orders on your Shopify store.

Browsify is an all-in-one fraud prevention and bot protection app for Shopify stores. It blocks malicious bots, fake orders, card testing, VPN/proxy traffic, and inspect element code scraping in real time — with automated risk scoring and customizable block rules.
Browsify analyzes IP addresses, Visitor IDs, browser fingerprints, and user behavior (e.g., multiple payment attempts or mismatched billing info) to assign risk scores and automatically flag or block suspicious orders on your Shopify store.
Yes. Browsify detects and blocks visitors using VPNs, proxies, and Tor connections. You can configure custom rules to allow or block specific types of connections based on your store's needs.
Simply install Browsify from the Shopify App Store to start testing with 5,000 free requests. If your store needs higher limits (Base, Advance, Business), simply message our team via chat or contact us to upgrade.
Fake orders trigger purchase events on your ad pixels (Meta Pixel, Google Ads tag, TikTok Pixel), sending false conversion data to ad platforms. This "pixel pollution" causes algorithms to optimize toward fraudster profiles instead of real buyers, resulting in higher CPA, lower ROAS, and wasted ad spend. Browsify prevents this by using Visitor ID to block fake buyers before they reach checkout, so your pixel never fires for fraudulent visitors.
Yes. If your Shopify store uses an AI-powered chatbot (Tidio, Gorgias AI, ChatGPT widget, or any LLM assistant), every message costs tokens. Bots and bad actors can spam your chat with hundreds of messages, burning through your AI budget in hours. Browsify stops these automated bots before they can interact with your chat widget — protecting your token budget and business data.
Visitor ID is a unique device identifier that stays the same even when a visitor changes their IP, uses a VPN, clears cookies, or switches browsers. Unlike IP blocking which only blocks one connection, Visitor ID recognizes the actual device — so the same bad actor can't come back with a different IP address.
Browsify organizes automated crawlers into 5 clear categories: Search Engine Crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot), AI Model Training (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Bytespider), Realtime AI Search (Perplexity, Applebot), AI Assistants, and Web Archivers. You can allow or block each group with a single switch — ensuring your store remains indexed on Google while shielding your product catalogs and copy from unauthorized AI scrapers.
Yes! You can start testing completely free with 5,000 requests/month. Whenever you need more traffic capacity or custom rules, simply message us through the app chat or contact page to upgrade to Base, Advance, or Business.
