From storefront to staff review

  1. 01
    Observe activity

    Browser signals, request context and decoy interactions.

  2. 02
    Connect the evidence

    Correlate sessions and related actor activity with orders.

  3. 03
    Review in Shopify

    Tags, risk assessments and the response workflow you choose.

Order intelligence

A score is a start.
Evidence is the point.

An unfamiliar IP is not a verdict. A shopper using a VPN is not automatically a fraudster. WebDecoy brings multiple signals together so you can investigate what actually happened.

For correlated suspicious orders, your team can inspect the detection, the session and available actor history. Risk assessments appear in Shopify’s native Fraud analysis panel, with bot-score and risk-level metafields for your own workflows.

Use the Flagged Orders queue to record a review, mark activity legitimate or suspicious, and leave notes. Start with evidence and staff review before automating a response.

The complete Shopify integration

More than a bot counter.

Storefront signals, order investigation, AI traffic reports and a setup check you can verify. Here’s what’s available and how each piece fits.

01

Storefront detection

Make automated browsing visible without adding a CAPTCHA to your storefront.

  • Theme App Extension with an app embed you enable in the theme editor
  • Browser fingerprint and behavioral signals, including automation indicators
  • Server-derived request signals and IP enrichment for proxy, VPN and data-center context
  • Hidden links and form fields that report interactions with decoys
  • Detection details with scores, signal breakdowns and request context
02

Decoys & tripwires

Give scrapers something to reveal themselves on, away from your real catalog.

  • Per-store decoy paths served through Shopify’s signed App Proxy
  • Up to 20 custom decoy path segments
  • Independent controls for honeypot links and form fields
  • Optional poison responses that return a decoy catalog to clients following a trap
03

Actors & repeat activity

Investigate related detections together rather than reviewing each IP in isolation.

  • Actor profiles with fingerprint tiers and aggregate threat context
  • Cross-IP activity, session history and detection timelines
  • Sort actors by threat, number of IPs or last seen
  • Link orders to detected sessions and an actor when correlation is available
  • Coarse shared identities do not contribute another visitor’s aggregate threat to order risk
04

Checkout & order review

Bring detection evidence into the order workflow your team already uses.

  • Web Pixel events for checkout started, payment information submitted and checkout completed
  • Session-to-order correlation via a storefront cart attribute
  • Automatic tagging of correlated suspicious orders when enabled
  • Native Shopify order risk assessments with supporting facts
  • Order bot-score and risk-level metafields
  • Order-details risk extension and a Flagged Orders queue
  • Review statuses and notes for legitimate or suspicious orders
05

Shopify Flow automations

Choose how your team responds to a high-risk order.

  • High-risk-order trigger with score, risk and actor context
  • Order-tagging action for your own workflows
  • Cancellation action available only through a workflow you configure and enable
  • Downloadable review-tag and staff-notification workflow templates
  • Templates start inactive; review settings before enabling
  • Flow triggers included in Pro and Agency plans
06

AI crawlers & referrals

Separate observed catalog crawling from visitors arriving through AI assistants.

  • AI Crawler reports grouping observed training, search and other crawler activity
  • Robots.txt guidance for training crawlers, separate from AI search agents
  • AI Referral reports for identifiable traffic from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and other assistants
  • Platform breakdowns and referral records for investigation
  • Referral counts are a floor: missing or stripped referral information cannot be recovered
07

Dashboard & setup health

Check that collection works before treating a quiet dashboard as a quiet store.

  • Embedded Shopify dashboard, detection feed and geographic threat map
  • Storefront embed and checkout-pixel installation checks
  • A labeled end-to-end storefront test detection
  • Test events excluded from traffic metrics, order review and enforcement
  • Separate storefront and checkout delivery times and error status
  • Monthly usage and plan tracking
08

Store controls & data handling

Manage the integration inside Shopify with clear operational boundaries.

  • Shopify-managed installation and billing; no separate WebDecoy login
  • Settings for detection, decoys and order tagging
  • Authenticated App Proxy requests and verified webhook deliveries
  • Encrypted access tokens and rate-limited collection endpoints
  • Shopify customer-data request and redaction webhooks
  • Uninstall deactivates collection; redaction follows Shopify’s data-deletion lifecycle

Install. Enable. Verify.

Your first useful detection starts here.

Open the Shopify App Store →
  1. 01

    Install WebDecoy

    Approve the app in Shopify, open it from your admin, and choose the plan that fits your store. A Free plan is available.

  2. 02

    Enable your storefront embed

    Open the theme editor, go to App embeds, enable WebDecoy Bot Detection and save. No manual theme-file edits. Checkout uses a separate Web Pixel.

  3. 03

    Confirm a test in Setup & health

    Create a labeled storefront test, visit its link, and return to confirm delivery. Check storefront and checkout delivery status separately. Test events stay out of traffic metrics and order review.

Your store. Your decisions.

Choose the response.

Review first. Automate when ready.

The order-created handler flags correlated suspicious orders; it does not independently cancel them or stop checkout. Pro and Agency include Shopify Flow triggers. Import the review or staff-notification template, check its settings, then enable it. Cancellation is available through a separate Flow action only when you build and activate that workflow.

Coverage follows the collection path.

The app embed runs on the storefront. Checkout events come through Shopify’s pixel sandbox and may depend on consent and browser conditions. An order needs a matching session and detection for correlation. A browser script cannot observe every non-JavaScript scraper that retrieves public pages without touching a decoy.

AI crawler reports show observed activity; AI referrals show identifiable visits. Robots.txt guidance helps express your policy to cooperating crawlers. A separately hosted storefront or edge protection has its own platform setup; this app does not install an edge validator in front of Shopify-hosted checkout.

Before you install

Your questions, answered.

Is WebDecoy available on the Shopify App Store?

Yes. WebDecoy was approved and publicly listed on October 2, 2026. Install it from apps.shopify.com/webdecoy-bot-protection.

How do I activate storefront detection?

Install WebDecoy, open your theme editor, enable the WebDecoy Bot Detection app embed, and save. Then use Setup & health to create and confirm a labeled storefront test detection. Theme files do not need manual editing.

Does it monitor checkout?

A separate Web Pixel reports checkout started, payment information submitted and checkout completed. Pixel delivery can depend on customer consent and browser conditions. The storefront app embed does not run inside Shopify-hosted checkout.

Does WebDecoy automatically cancel orders?

The order-created handler flags correlated suspicious orders for review; it does not independently cancel orders or block Shopify checkout. If you want automated cancellation, configure and enable your own Shopify Flow workflow using the cancellation action. Review and notification templates leave fulfillment decisions with your staff.

What is an actor?

An actor groups related detections using available fingerprint and session evidence. It helps investigate repeat activity across IPs. Correlation depends on the signals available; a profile is not proof of a unique person, and coarse shared identities are treated separately when calculating order risk.

Can it see every AI scraper?

No. The app reports activity that reaches its collection surfaces, including bots that follow a decoy. Non-JavaScript clients that only retrieve public pages may be invisible to a storefront script. Robots.txt guidance is a policy for cooperating crawlers, not an access-control barrier.

How are plans billed?

Plans are selected and billed through Shopify. The Free plan includes 500 detections per month. Monthly plans are Starter at $59, Pro at $149 and Agency at $449, in USD. Starter and Pro list 14-day trials. Shopify’s plan-selection screen shows current prices, annual options and trial availability before approval.

Do I need a separate WebDecoy account?

No. The app is managed inside Shopify admin. A separately hosted frontend or edge integration has its own setup and coverage; installing this app does not deploy a WAF or clearance validator in front of Shopify checkout.

How can I check that installation worked?

Open Setup & health, verify the app embed and pixel status, and create a storefront test. A received test confirms the installed script, Shopify proxy and detection storage path. The page also shows separate last-delivery and error times for storefront and checkout events.
