Blocky Fraud Filter IP Blocker and Chargeflow Dispute Chargebacks, while both categorized under 'Fraud' on the Shopify app store, target distinct stages of the fraud prevention and management process. Blocky focuses on proactive prevention by blocking unwanted visitors based on IP address, email, phone number, geolocation, and bot activity. It is geared towards reducing fraud attempts before they impact the store and provides visitor analytics. Chargeflow, on the other hand, is a reactive chargeback management platform that helps merchants deflect, prevent, and recover chargebacks after they have occurred. It leverages AI to automate evidence submission and increase win rates in chargeback disputes. The key difference lies in their approaches: Blocky emphasizes preventing fraudulent activity before it happens, while Chargeflow focuses on managing the consequences of fraud, specifically chargebacks. Blocky is best suited for merchants wanting to control access to their store and proactively reduce the risk of fraud attempts. Chargeflow is beneficial for merchants who already experience chargebacks and want to automate the recovery process and improve their win rates. Chargeflow also offers a degree of fraud prevention through its network of 15,000 merchants and alerts provided by Visa and Mastercard.
