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.
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.
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 orders get tagged, held, or blocked 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.
