Most fraud tools flag orders after they're placed. Deflect checks before checkout, so the chargeback never happens in the first place.

Fraud tools act at checkout. By then you've already processed the order, shipped the goods, and triggered the chargeback cycle.
Throwaway emails and masked IPs look clean to basic tools. Fraudsters know exactly what checks to expect and they've already figured out how to beat them.
Most tools give you one lever. Block or let it through, and either way you're making a guess.
How Deflect is different
Here's what actually makes it different.
Risk gets scored the moment someone lands on your store. By the time they reach checkout, Deflect has already decided.
Anyone can type a@b.com and pass a format check. Deflect looks at whether that address has a real history. Is it new? Does it show up elsewhere? Does it look like someone's actual email or something created yesterday for this order?
Block is a blunt instrument. Deflect gives you more options: add friction, flag for review, or block outright. The response matches what you're actually dealing with.
When risk score is High
Network effect
When Deflect catches a bad actor on one store, that signal feeds into the network. The same threat can't walk through a different door.
You benefit from fraud caught on stores you'll never know about. And your catches protect merchants you'll never meet.
Most fraud tools were built for enterprise and ported to Shopify. Deflect was built for Shopify stores from the start.
