How does your app work with Shopify?

Beacon is constantly monitoring all customer activities and analyzing for any orders with bad data that looks suspicious for things like VoIP, multiple accounts, or an unusually high amount of spending, and many more customizations for each shop.

The system works by ingesting customer information like name, phone number, and other data points and extracts new data that can highlight a risky order. Any bad data detected is displayed through the main data table of Beacon. The longer a merchant has Beacon installed, the more effective the system can be at detecting suspicious activities.

If an additional fraud check is needed, Beacon can send a special and simple text verification message to customers for additional verification checks. Our SMS system is able to extract additional data to better and quickly identify bad actors and allow the merchants to make better-informed decisions.

How will this change the look of my store?

A special verification page is generated when Beacon is installed. This verification page can be found under the template menu with the file name, "pages.verify.liquid".

How do I get started?
