Stop bots before they wreck your checkout.
CartWatch detects bot-driven abandoned checkouts and fraudulent orders in real time — so your fulfillment queue, and your analytics, stay clean.
No code changes. Screening starts on install.
Officially partnered with
Bots are quietly wrecking your storefront.
They don't just abandon checkouts — they poison the data you use to run your store.
Fake abandoned checkouts
Bot traffic fills your abandoned checkout list with sessions that were never going to buy — and never will.
Fraudulent orders that slip through
The same bots that abandon checkouts also complete them — often with stolen cards or fake accounts.
Skewed analytics everywhere downstream
Conversion rate, email flows, ad attribution — all built on data that includes bot noise.
What Shopify merchants say about CartWatch
Store owners hit by bot checkouts, fake abandoned carts and bot profiles in Klaviyo, in their own words on the Shopify App Store.
My store was over run with bot check outs and my mailing list was contaminated with 40,000 bot created accounts before we realized what was happening. We installed cartwatch and the bot activity stopped. … Without something protecting your cart you’re a sitting duck.
My small business was being bombarded by bots that were going straight to checkout. … My deliverability score went from 99.5% to 42% in 2 weeks. Once I installed this, 4024 bots were stopped in one week and only 1 bot got through. … This is an excellent app to add and the customer service is very responsive.
I’ve been very satisfied with how CartWatch is working. It’s been helping so much to catch all the bots and keep my Klaviyo list and abandoned cart list focused on actual customers. Best tool I’ve found to help with this issue.
The app constantly watches your cart and if a headless bot goes straight to cart it can automatically stop the bot and disable it. So the orders do not go to your order page and you do not need to void or cancel anything. It’s basically set-and-forget.
I’ve been looking for something like this ever since my store started to get hammered by Bots going to checkout and abandoning...thousands per day sometimes. Names would get over to Klaviyo in particular, and then my costs quadrupled for Klaviyo due to the number of active profiles. … Highly recommend.
Drip users! Finally a straight forward solution to keeping the bot emails from clogging up your drip customer list. And Cartwatch service was responsive and super helpful. It’s so refreshing to find software that does what you need it to at a reasonable subscription rate.
Excellent app and does exactly what it states. Would 100% recommend to anyone experiencing bot issues.
My email deliverability was ruined. … Within hours of downloading the app, the bots were stopped and suppressed. I can’t say enough on how much this company has helped my shop. I can now get back to business instead of fighting bots continually.
Cartwatch is an absolute game changer for us. We had bot activity that soared in the last month and shopify does not have a solution for this. We tried managing bot activity via shopify flows and it was hardly helping. This app saved the day with detecting and deleting bot activity so that our analytics are not continually harmed.
CartWatch has been an excellent addition to our shopify store. We started getting massive bot attacks last month, and Cartwatch controlled them within minutes. Highly recommend and support has been excellent and very quick

How CartWatch works
Three steps between install and a clean checkout.
Connect your store
Install CartWatch from the Shopify App Store. No code changes — screening starts on your existing checkout.
Screen every checkout
CartWatch analyzes device, network, and behavior signals in real time to flag bot-driven checkouts and fraud patterns.
Act automatically
Flagged bots get tagged, kept out of your email tools, refused at payment, or deleted from your customer list based on rules you control — your team reviews the edge cases, not everything.
CartWatch vs generic Shopify fraud apps
CartWatch detects Shopify abandoned checkout bots after they're created, suppresses them in Klaviyo and other email tools, and keeps them out of your marketing flows.

Why Blocking Bot Emails Doesn't Stop Shopify Checkout Spam
Bots bring a new email to almost every Shopify checkout. What an email blocklist catches, what it misses, what the bots reuse instead, and what to do about it.
