FAQ
Common questions from Shopify merchants.
Short answers about customer blocking, checkout rules, and repeat risk control.
Where does the install button go?
It sends merchants to the Block Customer & Stop Returns listing on the Shopify App Store.
Should I start with a broad country rule?
No. Start with the most specific buyer signal you can verify, then use country or IP rules only when the business reason is clear.
Can this replace normal fraud review?
No. Use it as a blocking layer for known repeat risk while keeping normal fraud review for new or unclear orders.
Can country blocking copy create risk?
Yes. Country rules should be framed around shipping, compliance, and confirmed fraud patterns, not nationality or protected groups.
