So far so good, seems to be a reasonable price. I wish the email setup was easier so you don't have to add a separate MX record and SPF entry in the DNS setup.

From the technical side, setup is seamless,no messy Liquid edits or code injections. It integrates smoothly with Shopify and doesn’t conflict with themes or other analytics tools I’ve tested alongside it. Performance impact is minimal, which is critical when running high-traffic stores.

In the SMS authentication control panel section, I get the message "You need to update to version 2.0 or later." How do I update the app?

Beacon has been a great help to our store in cancelling fraudulent transactions. They're very attentive and very responsive to us whenever we send them a message. They keep us updated with the new features and they never fail to address our concerns. Kudos to Jason and the team!

Provided you get the settings correct for your needs then this is a really great app. The developers are super helpful and will work with you to get your settings right. They are very responsive and quickly fix any issues that arise. Those who have left negative reviews were probably running with the default settings. If you do not configure the settings you actually need then you cannot blame the app for working in a way you might not have expected. So, please ensure you configure it appropriately from the offset and reach out to the developers if there is anything you don't understand. We are very pleased with this app - we have not been running it for long and it has already helped us to prevent a fraudulent transaction.
