Absolutely useless for digital products!! I have someone set up to be blocked and it let them purchase and sent them the digital product (they downloaded it), then refunded their money! What is the point in that? Uninstalling now and not impressed. Just another half-arsed app.

Worthless app, unfortunately. It won't block orders...it will only cancel them after the fact, if it works at all.

This app sucks. We have several emails, shipping addresses and IP addresses blocked and set to cancel the order, re-stock product inventory and issue a refund, which NEVER works. Some others we have set to issue a warning in the Shopify admin, which we never receive. Swing and miss, Fraud Filter.

Do your business a huge favor and use FraudLabs Pro instead.

Avoid this app, don't waste your time on it. I am still getting orders from the customers who are blocked for filing false charge backs. This is create a rule by identifying all the key indicators which can identify the customers. For example: IP, Shipping address, phone number, card# etc. It doesn't even give a hint that this customer is on the block list. I email shopify support about it, but didn't get a resolution.

Has been useful for alerting to staff to unwanted buyers. Unfortunately it will not prevent these buyers checking out so we lose transaction fees when we cancel the orders. Tried to use it to day and it is broken.

Thank you for your review. You should be able to filter out those buyers by adding their IP address or email as a filter in the app. If this isn't functioning properly, please contact our support team and we can look into it further: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. Cheers! - Brie, Shopify Support

Useless. It does not allow you to apply a filter on the "Shopify fraud detection system score" Looks like everyone has accessed for this.
You have not problems charging us $ for fraud chargeback. or $ to use our our payment gateways that have this function.

The biggest fraud happens when billing addresses are different than shipping addresses and when they use expedited shipping. Both of those functions are missing!

useless app, might as well just leave the orders open and see if you get a chargeback... the real crime here is Shopify charging merchant fees even when the payment is refunded. Cashapp doesnt do this, Venmo doesnt do this, PayPal doesn't do this...

This app does nothing. It does not work. I have to write a minimum of 100 characters but I have nothing more to say apart from this app is pointless.

It is simple tool, free, limited with no activity or analytics. it is not working for me.
