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

We stop fraudulent orders pre-checkout Before they drain your resources.

We didn't want to build Baystacks. We just wanted to run Dirt Cheap Decals. But when existing fraud apps failed to stop card testing and tanked our SEO, we built Storefront Sentry. Real protection. Zero theatrics. Built by merchants, for merchants.

By installing Storefront Sentry you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

The Problem

Bots don't sleep. Neither do fraudsters.

Automated attacks, VPN abuse, and fake checkouts silently drain revenue from Shopify stores every day. Without protection, bad traffic can distort analytics, create fake orders, and overwhelm operations.

Bot Attacks

Automated scripts create fake carts, scrape inventory, and overwhelm storefront infrastructure.

Access Fraud

Attackers hide behind VPNs, proxies, and anonymized networks to bypass traditional fraud detection.

Data Pollution

Fake sessions and bot traffic corrupt analytics, making it impossible to trust marketing data.

How modern card testing works

Block fraudulent orders pre-checkout without hurting real customers

Modern bots skip your storefront entirely and hit checkout directly. Here's exactly how the attack unfolds and where Storefront Sentry shuts it down.

storefront-sentry — live traffic
14:02:01BOT Request from AS14061 DigitalOcean — no storefront visit
14:02:01EVAL Cart abc_7f9c — checking _ss_guard…
14:02:01EVAL Guard token missing. No storefront pass issued.
14:02:01BLOCK Checkout blocked — ECDSA token required
14:02:03BOT Retry with forged token: "fake_bypass_123"
14:02:03BLOCK Token format invalid — rejected at validation
14:02:47PASS Real visitor — valid v2 token, cart xyz_3a1b
14:02:47PASS ECDSA verified, TTL OK — checkout allowed ✓
1

Bots hit checkout API directly

Automated scripts POST straight to Shopify's checkout endpoint, bypassing the storefront entirely.

2

Shopify Function checks for our cryptographic pass

Our Shopify Function intercepts every checkout and looks for our cryptographic pass; a token only issued after we verify the user is a human. The bots will never have this token.

3

No token = instant block

Missing token, blank token, any value that isn't a valid cryptographically signed pass is blocked before carts can even be made. No chargebacks possible from an attempt that never reaches your checkout.

4

Forgery attempts fail cryptographic verification

Sophisticated bots may try to fake a token but every attempt is rejected. Our ECDSA signature is mathematically unforgeable without the private key.

5

Real shoppers sail through effortlessly

Customers who browsed your store already have a valid, cart-bound, shop-bound token with a short TTL. They never see a challenge or delay. Security is completely transparent to legitimate buyers.

Storefront Sentry blocks bot checkouts before they reach your payment processor, but you will still see the aborted attempts in your analytics. These will slow down over time with Storefront Guard enabled, as the attackers realize you are no longer an easy target and start becoming too expensive. They will move on to the next target, one without Storefront Sentry.

The Real Cost

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.

Storefront Sentry blocks bot checkouts before they reach your payment processor — eliminating chargebacks at the source, not after the damage is done.
