Latest reviews on the Shopify App Store
That have been great to work with!
Excellent communication and responsiveness from the developers! I ran into an issue with one of Beacon’s features and spoke with Jason, who was incredibly quick to not only investigate the issue, but also bring a potential feature improvement to his team.
Feedback like this can often go unnoticed, but that certainly wasn’t the case here. Within just a few days, the feature was updated to better support our company’s workflow. It’s great to see a development team that genuinely listens to its users and acts on their feedback. Thank you Jason and all those who worked on the update!

The 4 Walls of Defense
Sequential, intelligent protection safeguarding every step of the Shopify order lifecycle.
Checkout Lock
Lock the checkout before the order is placed based on known data: email, shipping address, customer tags, etc… Prevents expensive gateway fees upfront.
Blocklist
If the bad-actor bypass the checkout lock, Beacon checks known blocklists for matching name, email, phone number, billing/shipping address, IP, etc.
Risk Engine
Use Machine Learning and set rules to identify fraudulent patterns proactively. Analyzes orders against large historical datasets to predict and compare risk.
Verification
Reaches out to the customer for final confirmation to gather concrete data and reduce false positives.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about stopping chargebacks, reducing fraud, and protecting your Shopify revenue.
Beacon inspects incoming orders in real-time across 4 automated walls of defense. By evaluating carrier telemetry, proxy networks, and historical fraud patterns, suspicious orders are held automatically before merchandise ships—saving you both the lost inventory and the $15–$25 dispute fee charged by payment processors.
Yes. For Shopify Plus stores, Wall 1 (Checkout Lock) evaluates customer intent before payment is submitted. It checks known fraud emails, blacklisted shipping addresses, and velocity spikes, blocking fraudulent attempts upfront so you avoid gateway transaction fees entirely.
Instead of canceling suspicious orders blindly, Beacon triggers Wall 4 (Two-Way Verification). It automatically sends an SMS or email verification challenge directly to the customer to confirm legitimate cardholder identity. Confirmed orders are released immediately for fulfillment.
Many legacy fraud apps demand 1% of your entire store GMV. On $100,000 in monthly sales, that costs you $1,000/month. With Beacon at a flat $0.03 per order, an average store processing 1,000 orders only pays $30/month with zero revenue cuts—preserving your profit margins.
Beacon queries big-data carrier registries to identify line specifications (Fixed Mobile vs. Non-Fixed Virtual VOIP services like Bandwidth.com or Twilio). Stolen card syndicates frequently use virtual VOIP lines, which Beacon flags in real time before fulfillment.
