That's your biggest new sales channel AND your biggest new attack surface - in one number.

Fraud control should not treat every risky order the same.
Blockify now lets merchants set different actions by risk tier:
High risk → auto-cancel + notify
Medium risk → flag for manual review
Result: stronger fraud blocking, fewer false cancellations, and less revenue lost
18% of shoppers left checkout last year because it was too complicated.
Not price. Not shipping. Your checkout.
Too many steps. Wrong payment options. Irrelevant shipping methods.
Every unnecessary element = cognitive load = lost sale.
Simpler checkout converts better. Always
Your checkout can now tell shoppers exactly how much more they need to spend to unlock a discount.
Blockify Checkout now supports 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭, a new checkout component that lets @Shopify Plus merchants display selected discount codes directly at checkout!
The most expensive mistake retail brands are making in 2026: treating all AI traffic as one threat to block.
That decision cuts you out of @ChatGPTapp, @perplexity_ai, and Copilot referrals worth more than the fraud you're trying to prevent.
Q1 2026 data of Kasada shows the AI traffic in retail breaks into 3 different things:
→ Crawlers (82%) - take, don't buy
→ Agents (14%, +945% YoY) - act for real shoppers, some abuse your store
→ AI Search (4%) - drive real referral revenue
The return fraudster isn't who you think it is.
Look again.
The "fraudster" @narvarinc profiled is someone who shops online weekly. Spends over $2,500 a year with you. And - buried in the last circle - 38% of them don't think any of it is fraud.
If you run a @Shopify store and your analytics suddenly look “great” - pause for a second.
A wave of unexplained traffic has been rolling across ecommerce sites all year. It's not a marketing win. It's bots. And the answer to “whose bots?” turns out to be remarkably concentrated
Are "ghost clicks" haunting your ad budget?
If you’re running a Shopify store, you know that every click costs money. But what happens when those clicks aren't coming from potential customers?

In retail, 20% bad bot traffic is already serious.
The threat is not just “bots visiting your store.”
It is bots collecting product, price, and inventory data at scale, then moving closer to the point where money, discounts, customer accounts, and payment decisions are exposed.
International shoppers hate surprise duties.
Blockify Checkout Rules now lets Shopify merchants show estimated tax & duties at checkout, Thank You Page, and Order Status Page.
More clarity for buyers. Fewer “why am I paying extra?” moments for support

@Shopify Winter ’26 makes it official: agentic commerce is moving from trend to infrastructure.
But the real shift is not just #AI discovery. It is this:
As buying journeys happen more autonomously, merchants need tighter control over traffic, checkout, and risk.
