Protecting Storefront Content
Fraud prevention isn’t only about orders — it’s also about keeping your storefront content safe.
1. Block Text Selection
What it does: Prevents visitors from selecting and copying text on your website.
Use case: Protect product descriptions, blog articles, FAQs, or pricing from being scraped by competitors or bots.
Tip: Best for stores with valuable written content (e.g., detailed product specs, premium guides).
2. Disable Right Click
What it does: Disables the right-click context menu in browsers.
Use case: Prevents easy downloading of product images, blocking “Save Image As” or “Inspect Element.”
Tip: Combine with Block Text Selection for stronger content protection.
3. Disable Developer Tools
What it does: Attempts to block access to browser developer tools (F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I).
Purpose: Adds a basic deterrent against scraping or crawling by less advanced users.
Note: Skilled users may bypass this, but it stops casual attempts.
Best Practices
Remember: These features are deterrents, not absolute blockers - advanced attackers may still scrape via other methods.
Combine with Rule Management (IP/Geo/ISP blocking) to stop suspicious visitors before they reach your site.
Always test after enabling to ensure the customer experience isn’t negatively impacted.
