Shopify Integration

BotShield integrates with Shopify using platform-supported checkout extensibility to verify human presence at checkout, protecting high-demand product drops and preventing bot-driven purchases.

​
Overview

The Shopify integration allows you to:
  • Verify human presence at checkout
  • Prevent bot-driven purchases and scalping
  • Ensure fair access for real customers during limited-access drops
  • Protect high-demand product releases

​
How It Works

BotShield integrates with Shopify through:
  1. Checkout Extensibility — Shopify’s official extension points
  2. Server-Side API — Your backend calls BotShield’s REST API to create verification requests
  3. Seamless UX — The user verifies via BotShield (deep link or QR code) and returns to checkout

​
Integration Flow

  1. Customer initiates checkout on your Shopify store
  2. Your checkout extension calls your backend
  3. Your backend creates a BotShield verification link via the API:
POST /operations/sdk/create-verification-link
Authorization: Bearer SESSION_TOKEN

{
  "scope": "checkout.complete",
  "sdk_type": "signal",
  "webhook_url": "https://your-store.com/botshield-webhook",
  "metadata": {
    "shopify_order_id": "ORD-12345",
    "collection": "limited-edition"
  }
}
  1. Customer completes verification in the BotShield app (5 seconds for returning users)
  2. BotShield sends the Human Presence Signal to your webhook
  3. Your backend validates the token and allows the checkout to proceed

​
Configuration Options

You control when verification is required:
  • All checkouts — Every purchase requires verification
  • High-value orders only — Orders above a price threshold
  • Specific product collections — Limited-edition or high-demand items
  • Limited-access drops — Time-limited product releases

​
Use Cases

​
Limited-Access Drops

Protect high-demand product launches from bot scalping. When a sneaker drop or limited-edition release goes live, BotShield ensures only real humans can complete checkout.

​
High-Value Orders

Require verification for orders above a threshold. Low-value, everyday purchases proceed normally; high-ticket items get an extra layer of human verification.

​
