Hey @Paige-Shopify is anything being done about this? As a theme developer this is frustrating I simply cannot work on my clients site right now as I am being rate limited after only a few minutes of loading the dev store.
The issue for us is a little different to others but related. We are using Vue.js to create our collection grid so we need to fetch each product one-by-one which causes 20-30 GET requests to product urls every few seconds.
This never used to be an issue until now.
Can we get some clarification on if this will be addressed or not?
Unfortunately another very frustrated merchant reported to us the issue of unnecessary bot detection challenge when adding products to cart.
The app makes just one request to add the products to cart, so thereâs no real reason to trigger the bot detection.
I hope this problem gets solved ASAP because merchants are losing sales.
TLDR for anyone just joining us:
- We introduced new bot protection measures for the cart.
- Based on the feedback provided, we adjusted these measures.
- If you are a developer or merchant needing to run tests on a shop, we recommend following the approach in this Help Center article so we can verify your requests.
- We are still working on a fix for CLI users and VPN users.
- All users will be able to complete the challenge in order to continue shopping.
@Dmitri_Pavlutin youâre right that a single cart request shouldnât be affected. Can you have the affected shop reach out to support so we can investigate that further?
@Paige-Shopify The merchant already reached out to Shopify customer support.
This was the response from support:
This does mean that after I refresh the Cloudflare from the domain that you have, and the issue is still happening. It might be best to coordinate with the Boxi app directly to modify how they handle the redirect and cart interaction.
What Iâm going to do from my end is that I will have to refresh the Cloudflare from my side, and letâs monitor the changes through your store after or within 24 hours
Our app simply does just one standard add to cart request and after that redirects to cart or checkout page.
