The idea
A read-only Shopify analytics add-on that identifies sessions likely to be bots and gives you exclusion rules to copy into Cloudflare.
- You connect the app to your Shopify store's analytics.
- It flags suspicious sessions based on geography and behavior.
- You copy the generated exclusion rule and paste it into Cloudflare.

- About 60 searches a month for 'shopify bot traffic' and related terms.
- 20 paid orders for Shopify bot protection work show willingness to pay, at a median of $435.
