Securing e-commerce,
one store at a time
Shieldy is built by a team of security engineers, data scientists, and e-commerce experts who believe every Shopify merchant deserves enterprise-grade fraud protection — for free.
Our Mission
Online fraud costs e-commerce merchants billions every year. Most security solutions are either too expensive for small businesses or too complex to set up. We started Shieldy to change that.
Our mission is to democratize fraud prevention — making advanced IP intelligence, proxy detection, and AI risk scoring accessible to every Shopify store, regardless of size or budget. We believe that protecting your business shouldn't require a security team or a six-figure budget.

What We Do
Our core expertise spans the full spectrum of online fraud prevention and network security.
VPN & Proxy Detection
Real-time detection of VPN connections, commercial proxy services, residential proxies, and datacenter IPs. Our database covers 500M+ IP addresses with 99.7% accuracy, updated every 15 minutes from 40+ intelligence sources.

- Residential proxies (Luminati, Smartproxy, Oxylabs)
- Datacenter & hosting provider detection
- Web scraping infrastructure identification
Tor Network Blocking
Complete Tor exit node blocking with real-time relay list synchronization. Prevents anonymous access frequently used for fraudulent orders and account abuse.

- Tor bridge and relay detection
- Onion routing fingerprinting
- Configurable block/challenge/log actions
Bot & Scraper Detection
AI-powered bot detection that identifies automated traffic, web scrapers, and spy browser extensions attempting to steal your product data, pricing, and store intelligence.
- User-agent pattern analysis (Scrapy, Selenium, Puppeteer)
- Behavioral fingerprinting (mouse, scroll, click patterns)
- Spy extension blocking (PPSpy, AliHunter, Minea, Koala Inspector)
- Rate limiting and request anomaly detection
IP Geolocation & Country Blocking
Precision geolocation down to city level with country, region, and ISP-based access control. Protect your store from high-risk regions while allowing legitimate customers.
- City-level geolocation accuracy
- Country and state/province blocking
- ISP and ASN-based rules

- IP reputation + geolocation analysis
- Email domain and pattern validation
- Device fingerprint correlation
- Historical fraud pattern matching
Checkout-Level Blocking
Server-side checkout validation using Shopify Functions. Block orders at the payment stage based on email, phone, name, address, and ZIP code patterns — impossible to bypass from the client side.
- Email pattern rules (disposable, specific domains)
- Phone prefix and format validation
- Billing/shipping address matching
- Built on Shopify Functions for native integration
Our Technology Stack
