Shopify is undeniably the gorilla in the ecommerce platform room. And for good reason. With platform sales for 2023 at USD$235.9 billion, Shopify accounts for 10.3% of the global ecommerce platform market. Since Shopify sunset its fraud filter on January 31, 2025, merchants are facing a critical decision about protecting their businesses. This isn't just about replacing one tool with another – it's an opportunity to significantly upgrade your fraud protection strategy.
The simple fraud detection methods of yesterday no longer match today's sophisticated threats. Modern fraudsters employ complex techniques like synthetic identity fraud, account takeovers, and advanced bot networks that easily bypass basic filters. While Shopify's basic fraud filter served as essential "training wheels" for many merchants, today's e-commerce environment demands more robust solutions.
