TrustPath Shopify Integration: Prevent Fraudulent Orders
In today’s e-commerce landscape, fraudulent orders are a growing concern that can cost businesses millions. From stolen credit cards to automated bot purchases, malicious actors are constantly finding new ways to exploit online stores. But what if you could stop them before they even complete their purchase?
The Hidden Cost of Order Fraud
Every fraudulent order that slips through your defenses can lead to chargebacks, lost inventory, increased processing fees, damaged brand reputation, and potential regulatory compliance issues. These costs add up quickly, making fraud prevention not just a security concern, but a critical business imperative.
Why Shopify’s Built-in Protection Isn’t Enough
While Shopify provides basic fraud protection for payment processing, it has significant limitations that leave merchants vulnerable:
- Payment-Focused Only: Shopify’s fraud protection primarily focuses on payment fraud, leaving you exposed to other types of fraud like:
- Orders with legitimate payments but fraudulent shipping addresses
- Bot-driven purchases that can impact your inventory
- Orders using disposable emails that may lead to chargebacks later
- Manual Review Required: Shopify’s fraud prevention guide recommends merchants to:
- Manually review every high-risk order
- Check IP addresses against known fraud databases
- Verify email addresses and phone numbers
- Monitor for suspicious patterns
- Research shipping addresses
- Limited Automation: Without additional tools, you’re left to:
- Manually track and analyze order patterns
- Build your own fraud detection systems
- Create custom rules for order review
- Monitor multiple data points for each order
This is why Shopify themselves recommend adding a dedicated fraud protection app to your store. TrustPath fills these gaps by providing comprehensive, automated protection that goes beyond payment fraud.
Enter TrustPath: Your First Line of Defense
We’re excited to introduce our powerful Shopify integration that brings enterprise-grade fraud protection to your e-commerce store. This integration acts as a security checkpoint during the checkout process, evaluating each order in real-time before it reaches your fulfillment system.
How It Works
The integration is elegantly simple yet powerful. When a customer attempts to place an order, TrustPath instantly analyzes multiple risk factors including:
- Email address validity and reputation
- IP address characteristics
- Purchase patterns
- Device fingerprints

Based on this comprehensive risk assessment, the system automatically:
- Approves legitimate orders
- Flags suspicious orders for review
- Blocks high-risk fraudulent attempts
The beauty of this system lies in its seamless customer experience. Legitimate customers proceed with checkout as normal, while fraudulent attempts are stopped before they can cause harm. There are no additional steps or verification required for real customers, maintaining your existing checkout flow while adding an extra layer of security.
