Questions about switching
Do I need to set anything up after Cozy AntiTheft?+
No. Content protection is on as soon as you switch on the app embed: right-click, image drag, text selection, copy and both mobile protections. Add exclusions, countries and checkout rules whenever you're ready.
Will my store be unprotected while I switch from Cozy AntiTheft?+
No. Set up Ongoing Defender first and test your rules, then switch Cozy AntiTheft off. Your store stays protected the whole time.
Can I run Ongoing Defender and Cozy AntiTheft together?+
We recommend one protection app at a time, so rules never overlap and every visitor gets one clear answer. Switch over once Defender is set up.
How long does it take to set up?+
About a minute. Install from the Shopify App Store, switch on the app embed and click Save. Content protection is on from the start, and you can add countries, networks and checkout rules whenever you're ready.
Can I keep my own stop page?+
Yes. Blocked visitors see your own heading and message, with a live preview as you type. You can point them to the store that does serve them, so you keep the sale.
Will my team or wholesale customers get blocked?+
No. Let your team in by IP address, and VIPs or wholesale buyers by email or customer tag. Defender warns you before a rule would block you, and you can exclude your own IP in one click.
Does it stop card testers?+
Yes, automatically. When the same email, phone or address checks out again and again, that detail is blocked, and blocked buyers see no payment methods to test cards against.
Does it work on Shopify Plus?+
Yes, at the same $9.99 a month. Checkout rules are enforced by Shopify on every paid plan, including Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Will it affect my SEO?+
No. Google, Bing and link previews always see your store, so your rankings, Shopping listings and shared links keep working.
Will it slow down my store?+
No. Defender is a tiny app embed, about 4 KB, and nothing is written into your theme.
Do I need a developer?+
No. There's no code to add. Everything is set up with switches and lists in the app.
What if it isn't right for my store?+
Every feature is in the 5-day free trial, and you can uninstall from Shopify admin at any time. Nothing is left in your theme, and if you reinstall within 48 hours your rules come back.
