Country Blocker Fraud Securify

Wanted to block Southern Italy specifically while keeping Northern Italy open. Support explained that sub-country blocking isn't possible with IP geolocation at that precision — it's a technology limitation, not a product gap. They suggested using address validation at checkout instead. Honest answer, practical alternative.

Great app and quick support

Installed app and had a few initial questions via the chat function - answered very clearly and quickly, very helpful with support and guidance.

A competitor was lifting our product descriptions word for word. Beyond right-click protection, support explained the bot detection layer that blocks automated scraping tools. They were clear it can't stop manual copying but it handles the automated stuff. The competitor's listings switched to generic descriptions within a week, which tells me the scraping was automated.

Asked for a breakdown of blocked traffic by country for a partner meeting. Support pointed me to the analytics export I'd overlooked — monthly blocked visitor counts by region, downloadable as PDF. My business partner was impressed by the data. Shows the app is doing actual work, not just sitting there.

So far, no issues

Needed to temporarily unblock Japan for a popup shop event. Support told me about the scheduled rules feature where I could set start and end dates for any block. Set it up, the block lifted on the exact day, and automatically restored two weeks later. Never had to think about it again. That feature alone saves ongoing admin work.

I mixed up country codes and blocked the US for about an hour during peak traffic. Contacted support in a panic and they talked me through the fix in real time. They also showed me the confirmation dialog I'd been clicking through too fast. Lost some sales that hour but the app itself worked exactly as configured the mistake was entirely mine, and they were gracious about it.

Realized our checkout was still accessible from blocked countries even though the storefront was locked. Support confirmed that checkout blocking works differently because of Shopify's architecture, then helped me add a workaround using the address validation step. Not a perfect solution but it catches the vast majority of cases. They were upfront about the limitation.

I messaged support about sessions from Brazil still showing up in Shopify analytics after I'd blocked the country. They explained the difference between Shopify's own analytics and what Securify can control — turns out the block was working perfectly, those were cached bot hits. They sent me a screenshot showing the block in action. That level of patience with a confused merchant matters a lot.
