Funny how a fraud blocker is fraudulently posting advertising they have a free plan. THEY DO NOT.
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly value all feedback about our app, especially when it highlights areas where we can improve. We appreciate you pointing this out. To clarify, the free plan is available for stores on the Shopify Development plan, as clearly noted at the bottom of the App Store listing page. For stores on regular Shopify plans, we offer a 7-day free trial, after which paid plans apply. If you're on a development store and the free plan didn't appear automatically, our support team would be more than happy to help get that sorted - we've also reached out to you privately. :-) Looking forward to your reply, Effective Apps Team
This app is good for certain specific goals. The only thing I am still searching for a solution for is blocking people/bots from trying to run fraudulent carts scanning for valid credit card numbers. I have been told this is next to impossible. It can block their purchase but not them continuing to try.
No free version. Only free trial.
the support team claimed that they were able to block visitors despite shopify still logging the visits, while after switching to a different app the visitors were gone completely.
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for using Blocky for several months - we truly appreciate it. We're sorry to hear about your experience with visit logging. We'd like to clarify that unfortunately, we're unaware of any third-party app that is able to prevent the platform's analytics from logging visits, as it records visitors at the very first moment they enter your store - before any app has a chance to load. We encourage you to test whichever app you're currently using to verify whether it's effectively blocking visitors at the Checkout level, as that's where Blocky's strongest capabilities are. Thanks again for your feedback - we have also reached out to you privately via email. We work hard to provide the best experience possible and hope to have the chance to win back your trust. 🙏 Best Regards, Effective Apps Support Team
You actually get support to help walk you thru the set up. I am in Canada and did not have to get up in the middle of the night to try to get support. Can't give a 5 star review for the app in general, because i have only used it a few days. Would have liked to see explanations of what each of the block options does. Was impressed there is a block email, but seems you have to type in each specific email addy you want to block. Would love to see a block on types of email. ie. Block if the message says the person has analyzed my website and wants a commission to bring in more customers.
Our Shopify store was being scraped from other countries & bots. Blocky was easy to install and I'm so grateful to be able to exclude this illegitimate countries.
Blocky Fraud Blocker has been a great help for our store. Before installing the app, we experienced a very high number of bot visits — over 2,000 sessions — which affected our analytics and store performance. After using Blocky Fraud Blocker, bot traffic has been reduced significantly to a very low level. Our visitor data is now much cleaner, and the store runs more smoothly. We are very satisfied with the results and highly recommend this app to anyone struggling with bot traffic or unwanted visitors.
