How To Blacklist Customers In Shopify - No Code Required

Repeat scammers and fraudsters cause your business sales and reduce your company's morale. Blacklisting unfair customers and criminals is a common task for store owners.

Here are some apps that can blacklist customers from your Shopify store:

Fraud Filter

Fraud Filter is an app by Shopify that allows you to create custom filters to prevent fraud.

It allows you to create rules which either warn or cancel orders when they are triggered. These rules include IP addresses, physical addresses, emails and more.

Fraud Filter does not block orders but is able to cancel them after the fact. This had led store owners to complain that are they still losing money to payment processing fees.

Fraud filter is a completely free app so maybe it's worth a shot. If you have a problem getting the app running check out my Fraud Filter Fix.
