Put an AI check on patrol every 30 minutes against fraud-bot orders

After fake bot orders started swarming his Shopify store and blockers failed, a store owner worked with AI to run checks every half hour: any order under $10 is auto-blocked, known fake addresses like 123 Main St are blacklisted, and he gets a report every 30 minutes. The bots still try, but far less often.

How it works

  1. Analyze the bot-order pattern with AI
  2. Set a check to run every 30 minutes
  3. Auto-block orders under $10 and orders using known fake addresses
  4. Receive a status report every half hour

Why it’s worth knowing

Instead of a better blocker app, he gave his store a part-time fraud guard that clocks in every 30 minutes and files a report each shift.
