Kasada + Shopify partnership?

Functions
1

Hi,

I’m a Product Manager at Kasada - we’re a bot detection/anti-fraud platform focusing on the hardest to stop bots/fraud. A sizeable amount of our customer-base are enterprise scale retail companies.

A number of our customers and opportunities are either on Shopify or in the process of partially/fully migrating. Many of them have been very interested in using Kasada on Shopify to solve their most difficult fraud problems.

The problem is that Shopify Functions are super limited in their functionality for security reasons (understandably). This prevents us from integrating with Shopify as we need to evaluate some arbitrary information attached to the request to check for signs that the request should be blocked.

This isn’t possible without some kind of technical partnership with Shopify.

I would love to discuss this with someone on Shopify’s side - but I’m having trouble identifying the right person to talk to. If you could help point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciative!

Best,

Hey @kasadatyrone thanks for reaching out. Shopify Functions are intentionally sandboxed and don’t expose raw request-level data (headers, IP signals, etc.) for security reasons as you mentioned, so any changes would need to come from our side, but you definitely raise a good point.

Generally, direct access to our Partner Product teams comes through our tiered partner program (more info here: https://cdn.shopify.com/static/partner-resources/shopify-partner-program-guide-service-track.pdf), but I’m happy to see if there’s anything we can facilitate on our end here. I’ll loop back here once I have more info to share with you :slight_smile:
