Built for our own Shopify stores. Now available to every merchant.
Storefront Sentry

Proactive bot protection, designed to stop fraud before it becomes your problem.

Storefront Sentry was built out of pure necessity and spite. The fraud apps we installed on our own store, Bayside, failed to stop card testing. Even worse, they blocked Google and Bing from crawling our site and tanked our SEO resulting in lost sales. We built Sentry to fix our own problems first, focusing on real protection without the nonsense. Now available to every merchant.

Layered Defense for Modern Web Attacks

No single security check catches everything. Storefront Sentry filters traffic across three connected layers, meaning if a sophisticated bot manages to slip past one defense, the next layer is already waiting to catch it.

How the layers work together

Bad traffic has to get through every layer.

Sentry places different controls at the points where they matter. The diagram shows what each layer is actually doing; the sections below show those layers in action.

Automated checkout protection

Stop abusive checkout attempts before they become order problems.

Storefront Guard quietly separates real shoppers from automated abuse such as checkout bots, scalpers, and aggressive card testing.

One chargeback costs more than you think

It's not just the refund. Every fraudulent order triggers processor fees, operational drag, and dispute overhead that compounds silently across your store.

Order Value Lost
$0

The full order amount is reversed. You lose the product and the payment.

Chargeback Fee
$0

Processors charge $15–$100 per dispute regardless of outcome. Win or lose, you pay.

Ops & Fulfillment
$0

Shipping, picking, packing, and support hours — unrecoverable even after a won dispute.

True Total Loss
$0

Combined real cost. At scale, even a 1% fraud rate can wipe your entire profit margin.
