I genuinely didn’t want to leave a negative review, but this experience has left me no choice. I installed the app on November 6th to block bot traffic from China using VPNs—specifically from the US and Seychelles. Initially, everything seemed to work fine. However, by November 9th, I noticed Seychelles appearing in my abandoned checkouts, which was strange given that I had blocked the country. All other blocked countries were showing as successfully blocked, except for Seychelles. I contacted support immediately. A developer responded, explaining, "we are actively investigating an issue on our end where blocked visitors are indeed getting blocked, but their abandoned checkout is still getting mistakenly logged by Shopify as an abandoned checkout because they are still at checkout, getting blocked. We are actively working on a fix that should be deployed shortly for that problem." The response did not make much sense to me since all other blocked countries were being blocked by their app. They also advised I enable Shopify’s email verification at checkout—knowing it might deter genuine customers. Despite this, the issue persisted. The bots began using valid, generic email addresses. I followed up again and was asked to grant store access to the dev team, which I did and confirmed. It’s now been three business days with no update. Meanwhile, the Seychelles bot continues to create abandoned checkouts, skewing my store analytics. Support is reading my messages but choosing not to respond. I can only assume they’re struggling to resolve the issue and don’t have a fix. Still, a status update—even if it’s not a solution—would be appreciated. I’ll wait another 24 hours for a response. If I don’t hear back, I’ll initiate a chargeback for the amount paid and delete the app while I search for a more reliable and consistent alternative. Update: They contacted me on 22nd November to address the issue, and I was informed that testing was underway to resolve it. I have waited patiently, but my patience has now worn thin. The aggressive bot traffic originating from China has severely disrupted my analytics. Over the past seven days alone, we have recorded more than a thousand visits from China, which is clearly reflected in Google Analytics. If these bots are truly being blocked, why has the activity not ceased? At this point, the app has failed to deliver on its promised functionality.

Have had a lot of traffic from a particular country which I don't ship to. It's suss. Quick to set up.

Wow!! I absolutely love this app!! it's been so helpful! I have been dealing with an obsessive customer who keeps purchasing from my on line shop using different name but same address claiming they never recieved their package. I was finally able to use the IP Address Blocker so this same fraudulent customer can no longer purchase from me. I highly recommend this app if you're an e-commerce store owner and are tired of bums stealing from you.

Its working well just need to add a few things to assist with correct scamers who conitinue to trying to purchase I love this app I added the IP address, addresses, Phone Numbers used, email addresses used we are more than happy this happens right after or before Halloween every year as Christmas approach I would advise everyone to protect your hard work this is not a game these scammers are serious about what they do. Thank you Blocky

Outstanding responsiveness and technical support; easy to install and use; an excellent tool for us to seamlessly block and/or redirect traffic of specific origin, whether individually or countrywide. With Blocky we're able to quickly identify and block the source of suspect traffic spike/bot anomalies, and the occasional scammer gambit. Blocky hums along in the background without issues, greatly valued by those of us who have neither the time nor the resources to be constantly monitoring or finessing finicky apps. We are highly selective in deploying apps, and Blocky is one of only a few that we do use, and we'll likely also be adding their Terms & Conditions app based on our experience with this Blocky app.

There was a China bot that was on my store website at almost all times for nearly 24 hours, so I downloaded this app to block China and after a couple of days no more China bot visitors. I also blocked Russia and Nigeria since that is where a lot of these attempted bot orders come from. I don't believe the "total country blocks" number because I think it's heavily inflated, but it does obviously work. In the end though, $10 a month or $60 a year is really expensive just to block 3 countries. All I need is the country blocker. There should be a cheaper plan option just for that one feature.

fast and effective. Worth the peace of mind. Ahead of this holiday season I had a HUGE influx of bots scraping my site from China and Singapore and burying me in Google rankings driving down my analytics and destroying my conversions. Problem solved. Thank you.

I've had some strange fraud issues on my website over the past few years and I've been happy with the features of Blocky. I only sell to US and Canada, so I am able to block visitors from all other countries. I'm also able to block individual users, which I never had to use until recently. I would recommend. I haven't had any tech issues with it at all and I think I've had it for 2 years now.

It's easy to understand and to set up. Be prepared that you will need to educate your customers if they get caught by the blockers due to their personal computers being compromised or if they use VPNs. Much of our custom "you've been blocked" page is about why they've been blocked. I know we've lost a few customers over this - some are willing to give up their IP numbers to whitelist them, others think we're overdoing it on security. There are a very specific improvement I'd like to see: 1- ability to better style the blocked message; it needs margins and the ability to make it fit with our branding. It is not professional looking right now.
