Tripwire

Tripwire is positioned as a fraud-prevention app that blocks card-testing bots before any card is charged, while keeping the checkout experience smooth for real shoppers. It uses browsing-based signed tokens to distinguish shoppers from bots, then applies Shopify Functions to remove card payment options or block low-value tokenless orders, with wallets still available and a fail-open approach for uncertain cases. Based on the provided app description, the main benefits are reducing processor fees, preventing fraud-score damage, and avoiding extra steps for legitimate customers, while the main tradeoff is that the protection is targeted specifically at bot-driven card testing rather than broader fraud scenarios.
