Why Does Your Shopify Store Need A Country, IP, or BOT Blocker?
Implementing the Shopify Country, IP, and BOT blocker on your Shopify Store is essential for real-life protection against online threats. Consider a scenario in which your store experiences a sudden surge in traffic from a specific country known for cyberattacks, or consider dealing with persistent attempts from a specific IP address attempting unauthorized access to your store, possibly for malicious purposes, or a bot attempting to Spam your Store with fake user account creation, or make numerous fraudulent transactions at the time of sale or engaging in aggressive data scraping.
By incorporating these blockers, your Shopify Store is fortified against real-world security challenges, providing tangible protection against region-specific risks, malicious IP addresses, preventing Spam account registration or creation, and automated bot threats, thereby maintaining the security and trustworthiness of your online business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product Questions
The firewall application is not working anymore as I have installed a new theme and everything.
In the Firewall application, scroll down to the Code Injection section. Click on the Inject button. By doing this, the Shopify theme changes that are required for the application to operate as intended will be restored for your new theme.
I need to block all the countries except the US. Should I block all the other countries other than the US?
To block all the countries from accessing your store except a few countries, you can whitelist those countries rather than blocking all the countries. Just navigate to the Whitelist Countries section and choose the country you want to whitelist. Click on Save.
I have blocked a country and still I am getting visitors from that country.
There may be a chance that some suspicious visitors are attempting to access your store through VPN tunnels. By blocking a country and using our Block Access from VPN feature, you can restrict all malicious traffic from accessing your store. This feature is available in our Enterprise plan. You can easily upgrade to it from the upgrade plan option through the dashboard. Follow the steps given here to resolve this issue.
I want to block a country but still would want certain IPs / people to access my store from that country.
The Whitelist IP feature of the application allows you to add the IP addresses of specific users, allowing them to access the store while blocking access for all other users. You won’t need to block countries separately. Enter the IP you want to whitelist in the Whitelist IP section in the firewall application and then click on the Save button.
Product Questions
I want to redirect all the blocked users to a page of my shopify store.
Please reach out to us at shopifysupport@xecurify.com for more information regarding the same.
If I restrict a country my ads are also blocked and Google says ”destination mismatch”
We can whitelist the Google Ads, and at the same time, it would restrict the blocked users from accessing your store. This feature is available on the Enterprise plan of our application. Kindly reach out to us at shopifysupport@xecurify.com in case you would like to activate it for yourself.
How can I test if my configuration/ application is running correctly?
There are two ways to test the functionality: One is to block your own country and attempt to access the store, and the other is to use any open-source VPN tool and set up a blocked country and then try to access the store. You should end up on the access denied page in both cases.
Is it possible to personalize the integration to match my brand's style and branding?
Absolutely! You can customize your shopify store and landing page to create a cohesive and visually appealing user experience, ensuring consistency with your brand's aesthetics.
