Cloudflare edge sync
Premium stores can mirror supported Country Shield rules to Cloudflare for earlier enforcement.

Questions? We are here to help.
Read the most common answers or open the complete merchant guide.
Will Country Shield slow down my store?
Country Shield uses a cache-friendly storefront check. Allowed traffic is released immediately after the decision, and strict mode is optional so merchants can choose the visual tradeoff.
What happens to search engines?
Verified search crawlers are allowed before merchant rules are evaluated. Merchants should still test high-impact allowlist rules before launching them.
Can I test rules safely?
Yes. The embedded app includes a decision preview. Start with a small denylist, enable the app embed, and verify the storefront before using allowlist or strict mode.
What data is stored?
Country Shield stores shop configuration and aggregate protection counts by hour, country, reason, and action. It does not create customer profiles.
How do I enable the theme app extension?
In Shopify, open Online Store → Themes → Customize → App embeds, enable Country Shield, and save. The user guide includes the complete sequence.
