Armex: Block Checkout Bots

First, the support from the team at Armex has been stellar. This team has gone above and beyond in helping me stop the bots that were constantly causing problems for me. After months of issues, I am bot free thanks to the team here at Armex.

I am not very techy and had concerns about the changes needed to keep my website safe and secure. I really don't understand how this all works and I was worried I would make mistakes and create a bigger mess. Ashley walked me thru the process step by step and explained everything in a very clear and concise manner that I could easily understand. The DNS changes weren't as hard as I feared and the whole process was actually quite easy once I knew what steps to take. She provided me with screen shots of what steps to take with instructions that were easy for me to understand and carry out.

We had to make a few changes and tweak some things as we went bc the road to blocking bots isn't always clear but they had answers and solutions for me along the way as we problem solved.

The team took the time to address my many, many questions and didn't make me feel stupid for not knowing or understanding how this whole process works. Honestly, I haven't dealt with a better team here on Shopify. If you need help with bots, this is the app to get! I highly recommend.
(it is amazing to me that Shopify can't help us sort this out!)

I feel extremely confident and safe with the firewall/protection from Armex. It's nice to have my website bot-free! Thanks for everything! Lisa

This is the only app that actually stopped all the bots. My store was getting hundreds of fake emails a day and Shopify suggested some apps that did absolutely nothing. Within a few hours of installing this app, the attacks completely stopped. Their customer service team was great in helping me set this up on my store. I highly recommend this app and their customer service team.

Finally – a real solution to Shopify bot traffic!
We were struggling with fake sessions, bogus add-to-carts, and inflated analytics for months. Shopify offered no real help, but this app fixed everything almost instantly. Setup was straightforward, support was phenomenal, and best of all — it actually works.

Clean data, better ad performance, and no more junk traffic. If you’re serious about protecting your store and your metrics, this is the app you need.

Game changer.

Note for Shopify: Learn from this!

After >8 months of bot traffic and checkout spam, which destroyed our email deliverability with bounces... and Shopify MTS unable or unwilling to have this conversation, Armex script and firewall has succeeded where all other solutions were either half-ass or failures.

We STILL will maintain Klaviyo segments and flows with filters to prevent the no-name-set bots.

We STILL will have a n8n server instance to filter and delete obvious bots, such as No Name Set, or Name set with pattern recognition. Profiles with no activities. And profiles that KLAVIYO is determining "suspicious" and not permitting the flow to send to the profile (Skipped). But these profiles are not tagged or marked by Klaviyo as suspicious, so the profiles still appear as active.

Yet, some bots persist. And then there are SCRAPER bots, such as domain.com/products.json?limit=250&page=1

And Armex can send these bots directly to access denied. And they do not get to pass go or collect $200 or get anywhere near Shopify or Klaviyo (via backfill integration) !!!!

I FINALLY get my analytics back!

And we can resume browse and checkout abandon flows without worrying about decimating our deliverability.

I use CloudFlare for domain/dns and the Armex solution works PERFECTLY with CloudFlare. Easy dns edit.

as Mount-It! said in their review: "Note for Shopify: Learn from this!"

Finally, support has been fast to answer my questions, and total pros. Thank you!!

I will update if anything changes.

Works as described. I wish they had a country blocker, but they said they are working on it. Outside of that, it has been effective in stopping the bots. It does take some monitoring and adding ISPs that the bots are still using.

We've had one of the best support experiences so far with Armex, thanks to Amy and the team. They are prompt, thorough in their explanations, and genuinely helpful.

We were dealing with frustrating bot traffic, fake add-to-carts, and getting nowhere with Shopify's support. Armex was the only app that actually helped us resolve the issue. Not only did it work, but the team continues to provide fantastic support whenever we need it. Highly recommend both the app and the people behind it!

We've had a huge bot problem on our website. The bots would create fake sessions, abandoned checkouts (40-50 of them in an hour) and make it really hard for us to track performance or carry out automation. Armex worked very well and we haven't received a single bot ever since the firewall had been set up. The support team is super super prompt, knowledgeable, nice and helpful.

Finally—bots blocked, sanity (mostly) restored.

After getting slammed by checkout bots and paying real money in Shopify transaction fees for fake orders generated by malicious bots, I installed Amrex.

Yes, the setup involves DNS tweaks that took me a while to get my head around, but the support team was absolutely stellar and held my hand the whole way.

Now the bots are locked out, the store runs fine, and I no longer wake up wondering how much ghost transactions are going to cost me or whether they've flooded my mailing list and triggered abandoned checkout automations.

Still watching for the next attack, but so far, so good. If you’re on Basic and under siege, this is the app you want. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

We set up the Firewall as we have been under attack by abonded Cart bots. We where facing some difficulties in our overall infrastructure settings but we got great support, very helpful and patience, to manouvre trough all the necessary settings. Great Thank you. I can recomend the service.

Armex Firewall immediately blocked all of the checkout bots. We were getting hundreds of fake bot profiles per day prior to Armex and we had tried a few different apps in the past. Armex support patiently walked me through DNS settings over a few days to ensure we don't crash our website. Thank you!
