Cordon

Securify alternatives for Shopify

Securify bundles content protection with visitor rules, so merchants leaving it usually want one of those two halves done properly rather than both done broadly.

That split matters more than it sounds. Disabling right-click stops a person saving an image. It does nothing to a script, because a script never right-clicks. If automated collection is your problem, you are shopping in a different category than you think.

The options

1. Cordon

Our app

Country, IP, ASN and VPN/proxy blocking with live detection data, plus scraper signals on higher plans.

Best for: Stores seeing traffic that does not behave like customers: price-checking bots, scraper floods from hosting networks, or checkout attempts through VPNs and proxies.

  • Live commercial detection data rather than static lists, so residential proxies and fresh VPN ranges are caught
  • Verified search engines and AI crawlers are always allowed and cannot be blocked by accident, which is the mistake that costs merchants rankings
  • IPs are hashed with a rotating salt, so raw addresses never sit in the visitor log; DPA available
  • Fails open, so a service outage never costs you a sale
  • Free plan, and a free scan that shows what your store exposes before you install anything

The catch: Like every blocking app on the App Store, Cordon runs as JavaScript in the visitor's browser. A raw HTTP client that never loads your pages (a plain script pulling /products.json) is outside what any of these apps can reach. If that specific problem is what you are solving, no app on this list fixes it.

2. Blockify

One of the longest-running country and IP blockers on the App Store.

Best for: Merchants who want a well-known name with a large review base and straightforward country and IP rules.

  • Long track record and a large review base
  • Broad rule options for countries, IPs and IP ranges
  • An established brand many merchants already trust

The catch: Rule-based blocking is only as current as the data behind it. Check how fresh its VPN and proxy data is if disguised traffic is your actual problem.

3. Blocky

Established fraud-focused blocker with rule-based country and IP controls.

Best for: Merchants whose need is mostly geographic and who want a simple, proven set of rules.

  • Established app with a solid review history
  • Straightforward country and IP blocking that many merchants find sufficient
  • Fraud-focused positioning with rule-based controls

The catch: Strongest on explicit rules you write yourself. Less suited to traffic that changes address constantly.

4. Shopify's built-in tools

Shopify Payments fraud analysis, manual order cancellation, and market/region settings.

Best for: Merchants whose problem is fraudulent orders rather than unwanted traffic. If you only need to stop selling somewhere, Markets does that for free.

  • Free and already in your admin
  • Fraud analysis on orders is genuinely useful and needs no app
  • Markets can restrict which regions can buy without any third party

The catch: None of it stops a visitor arriving, browsing or scraping. It acts at the order, not at the visit. If your problem is traffic rather than orders, this is not the tool.

5. Your own CDN rules (headless only)

Cloudflare or similar rules in front of a Hydrogen or custom storefront you control.

Best for: Headless merchants. If you own the infrastructure in front of your storefront, this is genuinely the strongest option available, stronger than any app here.

  • Requests are stopped at the network layer, before your origin sees them
  • Catches raw HTTP clients that never run JavaScript, which no App Store app can reach
  • No per-visit app cost

The catch: Only possible on a headless build. On a standard Shopify storefront you cannot put your own CDN in front of the platform, so this option is simply not available.

So which should you pick?

If you want content protection specifically, deterrents like right-click and copy disabling are worth having and Securify bundles them. Cordon includes them too, but neither stops an automated collector.

If your actual problem is bots and scrapers loading thousands of pages, that is a detection problem, and breadth of features is not what solves it.

Work out which of the two you have before you switch. Our free scan will tell you in about ten seconds, and it does not need an install.

Before you pick any of them, see what your store actually exposes

Our free scan reads only public pages and shows you what anyone can collect from your store right now, including your own product names and prices. No install, no account, and it tells you plainly which problems an app like this can fix and which it cannot.

Free plan included, 7-day free trial on paid plans. Cancel anytime.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free alternative to Securify?

Yes. Cordon has a free plan that covers country, IP and ASN rules. Shopify's own Markets settings can also restrict which regions can buy, at no cost, if stopping orders rather than traffic is what you need.

Can I switch from Securify without downtime?

Yes. These apps work independently, so you can install a second one, rebuild your rules, confirm it behaves as you expect, and only then uninstall the first. Running both briefly is safe; the stricter rule simply wins.

Will blocking traffic hurt my SEO?

It will if the app blocks search crawlers by mistake, which is the most common way this goes wrong. Cordon always allows verified search engines and AI crawlers and cannot be configured to block them, so a country or ASN rule cannot accidentally deindex you. Check that whichever app you pick does the same.

Can any of these stop my product feed being downloaded?

No, and be wary of any app that says it can. Shopify serves that file itself, and it is fetched without loading your store, so a browser-based app never sees the request. What these apps do address is the other kind of collection: bots that load thousands of your pages. Our free scan shows you which of the two is happening on your store.
